Englefield Green Storm Damage Roof Report
Not sure what state the roof is in? We carry out storm damage roof reports in Englefield Green and across Surrey, with plain-English findings.
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
Tips from our surveys
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Check your policy for how to report damage
You get the report by email and pass it to your insurer yourself. We don’t deal with the insurer on your behalf.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. They can damage the roof in high winds.
About our storm damage roof report in Englefield Green
The Financial Ombudsman looks at three things when it considers a storm damage complaint: whether there were storm conditions around the date, whether the damage fits a storm, and whether the storm was the main cause. We record what the roof shows about the damage and its likely cause. Weather records for the date are for you or your insurer to check. We are often asked to look into damaged ridges and hips and gutters pulled loose in the wind, on gutters and fascias, chimney stacks and flashings.
Chimney stacks on older houses around places like Englefield Green can let water in, at the flashings, the pointing or the mortar round the pots. Damp in a chimney breast can have more than one cause, so it isn’t always obvious where it starts. The stack, its flashings and the loft space beside it are all worth checking.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Leaks and storm damage in Englefield Green
In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. With Frogmore House about 3.2 miles north, Englefield Green sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
If you look after a building such as Englefield Green Infant School and Nurseries, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. For hotels and guest houses around Englefield Green, a roof problem found early is far less disruptive than one found by a guest, so it’s worth knowing the roof’s condition. The streets around a church such as Church of Our Lady of the Assumption are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs, emailed to you. On timing, it typically takes between one and two hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. Parking around Englefield Green is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from ground level, with the loft showing the underside, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where applicable.

- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.

Questions from Englefield Green
Is Englefield Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Englefield Green is covered. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Is Englefield Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Englefield Green is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it is safe. We inspect whatever is safely visible: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. Take photos from ground level first if it’s safe. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. The report does not include repair costs.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Raise it with your insurer first. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that does not resolve it. The Ombudsman asks about storm conditions, whether the damage is consistent with a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
