Cox Green Storm Damage Roof Report
Not sure what state the roof is in? We carry out storm damage roof reports in Cox Green and across Windsor and Maidenhead.
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Stains appearing after strong winds
How the survey changes by roof type
Lead flashings
Flashings with older defects frequently fail in high winds. Our report separates fresh damage from older wear where we can.
Flat roof coverings
On flat roofs, storms can lift edges and tear membranes. We record any damage and where it is.
How a storm damage roof report works in Cox Green
Wear and tear is usually excluded from home insurance. So it matters whether the damage came from the storm or from a roof that was already worn. We note signs of each: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems such as corroded nails or worn mortar. We give an honest view of what we see. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. If you are worried about flat roof edges peeled back and lead lifted at abutments, we can find out what’s behind it.
Older cottages and houses around Cox Green may have roofs with little or no underlay. Once the slates or tiles let water past, there is little to stop it reaching the ceiling. Finding where it gets in, and whether it’s old wear or new damage, decides what comes next. In the loft, damp battens or wet insulation are often the first clues.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

The survey, step by step
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. Most visits take between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a smaller place like Cox Green, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Before the survey
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

Useful tips for Cox Green property owners
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Take photos from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
You’ll need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. They can use our report to see what needs doing.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Cox Green
With Dorney Court about 3.2 miles east, Cox Green sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
Take an older house close to All Saints' Church: water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. If you own a rental within reach of Maidenhead station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Cox Green?
Falling trees and branches can damage roofs in high winds. We record the damage and where it is, backed up with photos.
We’re frequently asked to look at:
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Water coming in after the storm
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Broken or displaced guttering
Take a building like Wessex Primary School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.
