How a storm damage roof report works in Wexham Street

What counts as a storm depends on your policy, though many use gusts of about 55 mph. Check your own policy wording. Whether the weather met it is for your insurer. Our part is recording the damage to your roof and its likely cause. The report includes photographs of each area of damage, and you decide what to send. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. If you’ve noticed damage from fallen branches or debris and water coming in after the storm, we can find out what’s behind it.

Many homes in small places like Wexham Street face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.

The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, and recommendations are put with the most urgent first where relevant.

When you need someone else

In fairness, there are limits to any roof survey:

  • The outcome of a claim
  • The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
  • Areas we can’t see safely

Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you before you book. What our survey covers.

What we look at

  • Flashings
  • Slate and tile slopes
  • Chimney stacks
  • Flat roofs
  • Ridges and hips
  • Gutters and fascias

Useful tips for Wexham Street property owners

These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:

  • Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
  • Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
  • Photograph damage inside the house too
  • File receipts for anything you pay for

The report is emailed to you, and you decide what to send to your insurer. We don’t deal with the insurer on your behalf.

Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.

Common questions in Wexham Street

Is Wexham Street in the area you cover?

Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Wexham Street is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.

Is Wexham Street within the area you cover?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.

I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?

Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.

How long have you been surveying roofs?

We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.

Who handles emergency protection after a storm?

A roofer should handle temporary protection. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. We can record the damage in our report.

What’s the best way to book?

The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we will take it from there. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.

Do you climb onto every roof?

Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.

The survey, step by step

Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: 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 typically takes an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Older rural homes like those around Wexham Street can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.

  1. First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
  2. We look at the roof from wherever it is safe.
  3. We record and photograph the damage.
  4. We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
  5. You get a written report to pass to your insurer.

Getting ready for the survey

  • Tell us about parking before the day
  • Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
  • Check pets are kept safely away

Wind, rain and roofs in Wexham Street

Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. The wider area around Wexham Street has a long history of building, with Windsor Castle about 4.3 miles south. If you own one of the older houses, 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.

If you run a business near The Pavilions, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down. The streets around a church like St Andrew's Church Centre are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Wexham Street?

Branches and trees often come down on roofs during storms. The report shows what was hit and the damage caused, backed up with photos.

Signs worth acting on include:

  • Damaged ridges and hips
  • Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
  • Gutters pulled loose in the wind
  • New damp or leaks inside

If you look after a building such as Khalsa Secondary Academy, a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside.
