Middlegreen Storm Damage Roof Report
An independent record of roof damage after a storm in Middlegreen, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photos.
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
What we do, step by step
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take an hour or two at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a small place like Middlegreen, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We look at the roof from wherever it is safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Middlegreen
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. So it matters whether the damage came from the storm or from a roof that was already worn. Our report records both: recent damage alongside any older defects, like nail fatigue on slates or eroded pointing. We give an honest view of what we see. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. We survey ridges and hips, flat roofs and slate and tile slopes, and common reasons people get in touch are lead lifted at abutments and loose or broken chimney pots and cowls.
Roofs in small places like Middlegreen 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 photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Wind, rain and roofs in Middlegreen
About 2.8 miles south-west lies Windsor Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Middlegreen has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
For landlords with property near Langley station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near St Mary the Virgin Church, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. If you look after a building such as The Langley Academy Primary, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

Useful tips for Middlegreen property owners
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Don’t go onto the roof to take pictures
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
Honest limits
No survey can tell you everything, and it’s better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
- Acting for you with the insurer
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey. The full list of what we check.

How the survey changes by roof type
Slate roofs
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, but the nails often fail first. We check whether slipped slates suggest storm damage, older wear or both.
Flat roof coverings
Debris blown onto a flat roof can puncture the covering or block outlets. We record what we find.

Common questions in Middlegreen
Will you come out to Middlegreen?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you cover Middlegreen?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you as you book.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Safely, from ground level or a window. Don’t use a ladder or go onto the roof. Binoculars can help you see damage from below, and we will record the rest.
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 the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. We record the damage, with photographs and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. If it is safe, photograph the damage before it is covered. Keep receipts for any emergency work.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
