How a storm damage roof report works in George Green
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: 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. You or your insurer can check the weather for the date. We are often asked to look into holes or cracks caused by debris and loose or torn flashings, across chimney stacks, slate and tile slopes and ridges and hips.
For a small place like George Green, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned in advance. It’s useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

George Green: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in George Green is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you cover George Green?
Yes, George Green is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in George Green as anywhere else.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
It depends on your policy. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Your policy document will say.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We’re not loss adjusters, and we do not negotiate claims. We give you an independent report of the damage for you to send to your insurer.
Before and after the survey
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
Questions about the findings are always welcome. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
DIY checks: what’s safe
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in George Green
Some people book because a claim has been questioned. You get an independent record of what the roof shows. We cannot say whether the decision will change.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Flat roof edges peeled back
If you let a flat or house near Langley station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What experience they bring
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Are they insured for the work?
The survey, step by step
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photos, sent to you by email. On timing, most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Older rural homes like those around George Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
How to prepare
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Leaks and storm damage in George Green
About 3.3 miles south-west lies Windsor Castle, a reminder of how long the area around George Green has been built on. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
Shop and office owners around The Pavilions may find that water through a ceiling can damage stock and close a sales floor, so the source needs finding fast. If you look after a building such as Wexham Court Primary School, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.
