Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Fleet Marston
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 survey gutters and fascias, flat roofs and chimney stacks, and people most frequently book us about lead lifted at abutments and gutters pulled loose in the wind.
Somewhere as small as Fleet Marston, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. We look at whatever is safely visible and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from a storm damage roof report starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Check how your policy defines a storm
The report is emailed to you, and you decide what to send to your insurer. It is your record to use.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
What affects the price in Fleet Marston
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.
What we need to know
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can ring 07833 053749 or email us to find out.
Questions from Fleet Marston
Is Fleet Marston within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Fleet Marston?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Fleet Marston is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
What if the roof was already worn?
Insurers usually exclude wear and tear. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
How long does the survey take?
It normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. The report follows by email.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Stay off the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Fleet Marston
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. The wider area around Fleet Marston has a long history of building, with Waddesdon Manor about 3.1 miles west. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
Take an older house close to St Mary's Church: leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Green Ridge Primary Academy, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Friars Square, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down.
