Why act early in Uxbridge
Your policy may say how quickly you need to report damage. Check the wording and tell your insurer as soon as you can. An independent report can follow. Homes in smaller places like Uxbridge can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Each storm lifts it a little further, and water follows.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. You will know the price for your survey before booking.

Storm damage roof report in Uxbridge
Wear and tear is usually excluded from home insurance. 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 describe what we see, whichever way it points. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. Typical surveys look at loose or broken chimney pots and cowls and damaged ridges and hips, on ridges and hips, chimney stacks and slate and tile slopes.
Older cottages and houses around Uxbridge may have roofs with little or no underlay. Once the slates or tiles let water past, there is little to stop it reaching the ceiling. Whether it’s long-term wear or recent damage makes a difference to what happens next. In the loft, damp battens or wet insulation are often the first clues.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Storm damage roof reports in Uxbridge: local notes
The wider area around Uxbridge has a long history of building, with Ickenham Hall about 2.2 miles north-east. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Andrew, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. For businesses in and around places such as The Chimes, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down.

Tips that help
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
You’ll need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. They can use our report to see what needs doing.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. They can damage the roof in high winds.
The survey, step by step
We’ll ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. In a smaller place like Uxbridge, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from the ground, with the loft showing the underside, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where applicable.
- You let us know when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the roof space where it is safe.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

FAQs for Uxbridge
Is Uxbridge within the area you cover?
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.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Uxbridge?
Yes, Uxbridge is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Stay off the roof. Take photos from the ground or from windows. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is typically excluded from home insurance. We note both storm damage and older defects, so you know what the roof shows. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. If it is safe, take photos before it goes on. We can record the damage in our report.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only if it is safe. We inspect whatever is safely visible: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
