Storm damage roof report in Winslow
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’re not loss adjusters and cannot tell you if your claim will succeed. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. We survey flat roofs, slate and tile slopes and chimney stacks, and people most often book us about damaged ridges and hips and torn or lifted flat roof coverings.
Houses in smaller places like Winslow can stand more in the open, where driving rain gets into any gap at a ridge, verge or flashing. If a leak shows only when the wind is in a certain direction, that’s a useful clue. Let us know when it happens when you contact us. Gutters and downpipes on the exposed side are worth a look as well.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Leaks and storm damage in Winslow
About 3.5 miles south-west lies Claydon House, a reminder of how long the area around Winslow has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
The streets around a church like Church of St Laurence are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

What else we do in Winslow
What we do, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. For a survey in Winslow, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- 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 check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
How to prepare

Lead flashings
Flashings can lift or pull away from walls and chimneys in strong winds. We record which are loose or damaged.
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Winslow?
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.
Common reasons to book include:
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- New damp or leaks inside
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Sir Thomas Fremantle School, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.

FAQs for Winslow
Do you carry out roof surveys in Winslow?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Winslow is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Winslow?
Yes, Winslow is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so you know what the roof shows. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Do you look in the roof space?
Typically, if there is one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Can I check my roof myself?
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in.
