Storm damage roof report in Langley
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. It is yours to pass to your insurer. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We’re not loss adjusters, and we can’t tell you whether a claim will succeed. We’re often asked to look into cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind and water coming in after the storm, across slate and tile slopes, flashings and chimney stacks.
Older cottages and houses around Langley may have roofs with little or no underlay. Without a sound underlay, any gap in the coverings lets water straight through. Whether it is long-term wear or recent damage makes a difference to what happens next. Wet battens and insulation in the loft are often the first clue.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

FAQs for Langley
Do you carry out roof surveys in Langley?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Langley as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is my home in Langley listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
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.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Please do not climb onto the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.

Different roofs, different checks
Slate roofs
Slates often outlast the nails that hold them. The report records whether slipped slates look like storm damage or older wear.
Clay and concrete tiles
Older tiles held only by nibs, without nails or clips, can lift more easily. We record what we can see of the fixings.
Storm damage roof reports around Langley
Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. With Windsor Castle about 2.7 miles south-west, Langley sits in an area with a long building history. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
If you look after a building like The Langley Academy Primary, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. Living close to Ditton Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn.

- Gutters and fascias
- Ridges and hips
- Slate and tile slopes
- Chimney stacks
- Flashings
- Flat roofs
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Langley?
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.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
Landlords with a home close to Langley station may find that a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
What to check before booking
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
DIY checks: what’s safe
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
What happens on the day
The visit has one job: to see as much of the roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It usually takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Parking around Langley is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from ground level, and the loft shows the rest.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- 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 is safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Before we arrive
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
Booking a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
