Storm damage roof reports around Addlestone
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. About 1.8 miles west lies Botleys Mansion, a reminder of how long the area around Addlestone has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
Anyone responsible for a site like Darley Dene Primary School will know that a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside. Landlords with a home close to Addlestone station may find that a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

Storm damage roof report in Addlestone: what you get
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. Our report shows the damage in photos and says whether it looks like storm damage, wear and tear, or a mix. We are not loss adjusters and cannot tell you if your claim will succeed. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. If you’re worried about damaged ridges and hips and torn or lifted flat roof coverings, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In older homes around places like Addlestone, the underlay may be old bitumen felt, or there may be none at all. Once the slates or tiles let water past, there’s little to stop it reaching the ceiling. Whether it’s long-term wear or recent damage makes a difference to what happens next. Wet battens and insulation in the loft are often the first clue.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

What you can safely check yourself
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Places near Addlestone
Also in Addlestone
Different roofs, different checks
Slate roofs
After strong winds, we often see cracked and slipped slates. We photograph and describe each one.
Lead flashings
Wind can peel back flashings at abutments and stacks. Loose or damaged flashings are photographed and noted.
When to book a survey in Addlestone
A storm frequently finds a roof’s existing weak spots. Nail fatigue, eroded ridge mortar and tired flashings can all fail in high winds. We record recent damage alongside older defects.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
If you live in an older home near St Paul's, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.
What to check before booking
- What exactly goes into their report
- When you’ll get the report
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
What a storm damage roof report does not cover

Addlestone: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Addlestone?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is Addlestone within the area you cover?
Yes. Addlestone is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Stay off the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
How long does the survey take?
Most surveys take about one to two hours at a typical home, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. The report follows by email.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. If it’s safe, take photos before it goes on. We can record the damage in our report.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Knowing whether older wear played a part helps you understand your position. We record storm damage and older defects, so you know what the roof shows. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Addlestone, so it’s useful to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both with VAT included. You will know the price for your survey before booking.

How the survey works
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Addlestone is booked with the forecast in mind: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We check 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.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Before the survey
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Leave a clear route to the loft
