FAQs for Winsor
Is Winsor within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Winsor, take more of a battering?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, while strong wind lifts anything already loose.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. Take photos from the ground first if it is safe. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
How do I book a survey in Winsor?
It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
What if the roof was already worn?
Insurers usually exclude wear and tear. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. Your insurer decides the claim.
How a storm damage roof report works in Winsor
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. It’s yours to pass to your insurer. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We are not loss adjusters, and we can’t tell you whether a claim will succeed. If you’re worried about roofs hit by falling trees and ridge tiles that have come loose, we can find out what’s behind it.
For a small place like Winsor, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. It’s useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Your policy may say how quickly you need to report damage. Check the wording and tell your insurer as soon as you can. Our report can then add a clear record. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Winsor, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

Tips that help
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Check how your policy defines a storm
For repair costs, ask a roofer to quote. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
The survey, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Older rural homes like those around Winsor 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.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We look at the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Wind, rain and roofs in Winsor
Winsor lies within about 4 miles of the sea, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. In a coastal gale, rain is driven sideways into laps, verges and flashings, and salt air slowly wears metal fixings. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Copythorne CofE Infant School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. For landlords with property near Ashurst New Forest station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Mary, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

Different roofs, different checks
Clay and concrete tiles
Older tiles held only by nibs, without nails or clips, can lift more easily. We note what we can see of how tiles are fixed.
Ridge and hip tiles
Ridge and hip tiles take the full force of the wind. We record any that have lifted, cracked or come away.

DIY checks: what’s safe
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
What a storm damage roof report doesn’t cover
It’s a careful look at the roof, not the whole story. The main limits are:
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- Your insurer’s view of the claim
- The outcome of a claim
