Questions from Fifield
Do you cover Fifield?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Fifield is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the property.
Do you cover smaller places like Fifield?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
How long will you be at the property?
It normally takes between one and two hours at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. We will confirm the timing when you book.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access; we’ll agree the details when booking.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. If it’s safe, take photos before it goes on. We can record the damage in our report.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
Only your insurer can decide that. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
Storm damage roof report in Fifield
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. It is a written report with photos, sent by email. It isn’t a repair quote and doesn’t include repair costs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for that. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. If you’re worried about torn or lifted flat roof coverings and holes or cracks caused by debris, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Roofs in small places like Fifield often stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Fifield roofs and the weather
Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. About 1.7 miles north-east lies Dorney Court, a reminder of how long the area around Fifield has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you live in an older home near All Saints, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. For landlords with property near Maidenhead station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Fifield

How it works
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. Older roofs in small places like Fifield can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
How to prepare
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Keep pets in another room
How to book
Once you know what you need, ring 07833 053749 or email us. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date.
Advice
Checking the roof from the ground
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Common roof problems in Fifield
Some people book because a claim has been questioned. An independent report gives you another view of the roof. We cannot say whether the decision will change.
People typically book a survey when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Loose or torn flashings
- Damaged flat roof membrane
Take a building like Braywood CofE First School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

How the survey changes by roof type
Clay and concrete tiles
Older tiles held only by nibs, without nails or clips, can lift more easily. We note what we can see of how tiles are fixed.
Ridge and hip tiles
Ridge and hip tiles take the full force of the wind. The survey notes loose, cracked or missing ridge and hip tiles.
For landlords and managing agents
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out in order of urgency where relevant, which helps with budgets and planning.
We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as householders. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the roof, useful for planning maintenance.
