Newell Green Storm Damage Roof Report
Storm damage roof reports in Newell Green, backed by more than 20 years’ experience. You get a clear report with photos.
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Flat roof edges peeled back
What we do, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It normally takes between one and two hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. For a village or hamlet like Newell Green, the journey is planned beforehand: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there is access.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- We check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Newell Green
After a storm, safety comes first. Photograph the damage from ground level or a window, and never climb up. Emergency temporary protection, such as covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. We survey ridges and hips, flashings and slate and tile slopes, and people most often book us about new damp or leaks inside and gutters pulled loose in the wind.
Being in a small place like Newell Green makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It’s useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
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, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Newell Green roofs and the weather
Newell Green is part of Bracknell, one of the post-war new towns. Homes from the post-war decades are common in the new towns, many with low-pitched roofs in concrete tiles and flat-roofed garages or porches. Low pitches let wind-driven rain reach further under the tiles, and flat-roofed garages and porches are common leak points. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Sandy Lane Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. Historic houses like St Leonard's Hill, about 4.8 miles north-east, show how far back building around Newell Green goes. Older roofs in the area may have lead flashings, valleys and gutters that have been patched many times.

Questions from Newell Green
Should a flat-roofed garage or porch in Newell Green be checked too?
Usually, yes: tell us about it when booking so the visit can include it. Many homes in new towns like Bracknell have flat-roofed garages and porches, and felt roofs often last around 15–20 years.
Do you cover smaller places like Newell Green?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
How do I book a survey in Newell Green?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we will point you to the right survey. We survey seven days a week.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
We cannot say whether a claim will be paid. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
Will you check the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Insurers typically exclude wear and tear. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. Your insurer decides the claim.

Different roofs, different checks
Chimney stacks
Stacks with existing defects tend to suffer more in storms. We record both the storm damage and the older wear.
Flat roof coverings
Lifted trims and laps are common after a storm. We look at whether the damage is recent or older.
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Newell Green
Flat roofs can be damaged too. Wind can lift edges and tear coverings, and blocked outlets can leave water ponding after heavy rain. Our report covers flat and pitched roofs.
Common reasons to book include:
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Michael and All Angels, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- What happens after the report arrives
- What exactly goes into their report
- Their track record with similar roofs
Tips from our surveys
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
You’ll need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. They can use our report to see what needs doing.
Keep records of roof work and surveys. They can help show the roof was looked after.
What a storm damage roof report does not cover
Before booking, it’s worth knowing what a survey will not do:
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- A price for the repairs
