Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Oakley Green
After a storm, it is useful to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. Our report shows the damage in photos and says whether it looks like storm damage, wear and tear, or a mix. We aren’t loss adjusters, and we cannot say whether a claim will be paid. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. Common reasons to book are stains appearing after strong winds and ridge tiles that have come loose, on ridges and hips, gutters and fascias and flashings.
Roofs in small places like Oakley Green often stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Useful tips for Oakley Green property owners
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Take photos from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. You’ll have your own independent record to refer to.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.
Honest limits
Before booking, it is worth knowing what a survey will not do:

What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs, emailed to you. As for time on site, most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Around Oakley Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- You tell us when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- 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 look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- The findings are written up with photographs for you to share with your insurer.
How to prepare
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
Booking a survey
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Advice
Oakley Green roofs and the weather
About 1 mile south-east lies St Leonard's Hill, a reminder of how long the area around Oakley Green has been built on. If your home is one of the older ones, 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. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
If you own a rental within reach of Windsor & Eton Central station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. Trees in and around Sutherland Grange shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters.

FAQs for Oakley Green
Do you carry out roof surveys in Oakley Green?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Oakley Green is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property.
Do you cover smaller places like Oakley Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Only from ground level or from windows. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. With binoculars, you can see a lot from the ground, and we will record the rest.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
How long does the survey take?
It typically takes about one to two hours at a typical home, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. You will then get the report by email, on the timescale of your package.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only if it’s safe. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Start by complaining to the insurer. If it isn’t resolved, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help. The Ombudsman asks about storm conditions, whether the damage is consistent with a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.

What you can safely check yourself
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
When to book a survey in Oakley Green
Insurers frequently want evidence of what has been damaged and why. An independent report gives you a clear record to send. The decision still rests with the insurer.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
The streets around a church such as All Saints are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.
