Storm damage roof report in Winkfield
Wear and tear is normally excluded from home insurance. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. 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. Your insurer then decides how its policy applies. We survey gutters and fascias, ridges and hips and flat roofs, and people most frequently book us about damaged gutters and fascias and flat roof edges peeled back.
In a village or hamlet like Winkfield, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Storm damage roof reports around Winkfield
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed. About 2.7 miles north-east lies St Leonard's Hill, a reminder of how long the area around Winkfield has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Winkfield St Mary's CofE Primary School, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside. If you own a rental within reach of Ascot station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. Shop and office owners around The Lexicon may find that water through a ceiling can damage stock and close a sales floor, so the source needs finding fast.

How much is a storm damage roof report?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs aren’t part of the report.
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 ground level and we will inspect the rest from safe positions.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It depends on your policy. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Your policy document will say.
How experienced are you?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
We cannot say whether a claim will be paid. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
How the survey works
The visit has one job: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Older rural homes like those around Winkfield can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there is access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at

Different roofs, different checks
Slate roofs
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, but the nails frequently fail first. We look at whether slipped slates suggest storm damage, older wear or both.
Chimney stacks
Stacks with existing defects tend to suffer more in storms. We record both the storm damage and the older wear.
What you can safely check yourself
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
You get the report by email and pass it to your insurer yourself. We don’t deal with the insurer on your behalf.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. With binoculars, you can often spot problems without climbing. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
