Storm Damage Roof Report in Stoke Poges
Not sure what state the roof is in? You can book a storm damage roof report in Stoke Poges and across Slough, with plain-English findings.
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Damaged ridges and hips
How it works
It’s useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. A visit to a smaller place like Stoke Poges is no different on the day: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there is access.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Let us know about parking near the property

Storm damage roof report in Stoke Poges: what you get
After a storm, it helps to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We are not loss adjusters and can’t tell you if your claim will succeed. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. We survey flashings, flat roofs and gutters and fascias, and the problems we are asked to look at most are loose or torn flashings and water coming in after the storm.
In a smaller place like Stoke Poges, some roofs face open ground, so wind and driving rain find any weakness in ridges, verges and flashings. If a leak shows only when the wind is in a certain direction, that is a useful clue. Let us know when it happens when you get in touch. Gutters and downpipes on the exposed side are worth a look as well.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Stoke Poges
How do I find out if my home in Stoke Poges is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Stoke Poges in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Stoke Poges as anywhere else.
Will you check the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Start by complaining to the insurer. If it is not resolved, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help. The Ombudsman looks at whether there were storm conditions, whether the damage fits a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Our reports start from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. The report doesn’t include repair costs.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
What a storm damage roof report doesn’t cover
Before booking, it’s worth knowing what a survey won’t do:
- Acting for you with the insurer
- A decision on your insurance claim
- Areas we cannot see safely
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will tell you before booking. What our survey covers.
What this survey covers
- Chimney stacks
- Slate and tile slopes
- Flat roofs
- Gutters and fascias
- Flashings
- Ridges and hips
When to book a survey in Stoke Poges
Some people book because a claim has been questioned. An independent report gives you another view of the roof. What happens next is up to the insurer.
People normally book a survey when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Loose or torn flashings
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
If you look after a building such as The Stoke Poges School, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.
What to check before booking
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs

On a bungalow or cottage around Stoke Poges, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.

Tips from our surveys
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
Store invoices and reports for any roof work. They can help show the roof was looked after.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
Leaks and storm damage in Stoke Poges

Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
