About our storm damage roof report in Maidenhead
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. If you’ve noticed broken or displaced guttering and holes or cracks caused by debris, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
When a storm passes over a town like Maidenhead, loose tiles, slates and ridges are the first to move. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, though it varies. Photographs and a written account help you show what happened, whether to an insurer or a roofer. Because wear and tear is usually excluded, the age of any damage matters.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

What affects the price in Maidenhead
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and which survey you book.

Common roof problems in Maidenhead
Landlords and managing agents book reports to keep a record for owners and insurers. It helps when explaining damage to a building owner or insurer.
Look out for signs like these:
- Loose or torn flashings
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Water coming in after the storm
A roof leak in a hotel or guest house around Maidenhead means lost rooms as well as repairs, so it’s worth knowing the roof’s condition.
Before booking anyone
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Will the report include photos?
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- What they won’t be able to tell you
DIY checks: what’s safe
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
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. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
How it works
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. The visit normally takes about one to two hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In Maidenhead, many roofs join a neighbour’s, so we look at what can be seen of the shared parts from your side. It helps to know about previous repairs, leaks or recent work, so time on site goes where it is needed.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Leave a clear route to the loft
Book a survey
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Storm damage roof reports around Maidenhead
Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. The wider area around Maidenhead has a long history of building, with Dorney Court about 3 miles south-east. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Landlords with a home close to Maidenhead station may find that tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. Living close to Braywick Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Maidenhead
Is my home in Maidenhead listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover Maidenhead?
Yes, Maidenhead is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Maidenhead?
It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we’ll point you to the right survey. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
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.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. 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.
How experienced are you?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
