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. It typically takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In a small place like Slough Green, access is usually the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We check the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Preparing for the visit

Advice
Storm damage roof report in Slough Green: what you get
After a storm, it helps 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 are not loss adjusters, and we can’t say whether a claim will be paid. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. We survey flashings, flat roofs and chimney stacks, and people most often book us about water coming in after the storm and gutters pulled loose in the wind.
In a village or hamlet like Slough Green, older cottages and farmhouses frequently have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. We check everything that’s safely in view and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
After the visit, you get a report with photographs, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Different roofs, different checks
Slate roofs
Slates can slip or blow off in a storm, particularly where the nails have corroded. Our report notes moved slates and any sign of older corrosion.
Chimney stacks
Wind can pull the flashings away from a chimney. Loose flashings are recorded.
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Slough Green
Branches and trees often come down on roofs during storms. We record the damage and where it is, with photos.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Damaged ridges and hips
Anyone responsible for a site like Warden Park School will know that tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.
What to check before booking
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
DIY checks: what’s safe
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
Storm damage roof reports in Slough Green: local notes
Tyes Place, about 1.3 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Slough Green. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. In Sussex, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
If you let a flat or house near Balcombe station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

Common questions in Slough Green
Do you cover Slough Green?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Slough Green is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Slough Green?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Wear and tear is not typically covered. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We look at everything that can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
Each policy has its own definition. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but your policy sets the actual test.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.

The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we will take it from there. Surveys run on any day of the week.
