Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Ansteadbrook
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from ground level, from windows and higher points, from the loft space and from the roof where it is safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. If part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. You get a written report with photos to give to your insurer. If you’re worried about ridge tiles that have come loose and loose or broken chimney pots and cowls, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Many homes in small places like Ansteadbrook face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What we look for on each type of roof
Slate roofs
Slates can slip or blow off in a storm, particularly where the nails have corroded. Our report notes moved slates and any sign of older corrosion.
Flat roof coverings
Edge trims and laps are frequently where flat roof coverings start to peel back. We look at whether the damage is recent or older.
Wind, rain and roofs in Ansteadbrook
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
Whatever the street in Ansteadbrook, a roof costs least to look after when faults are caught early. For landlords with property near Haslemere station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

Common questions in Ansteadbrook
Do you cover Ansteadbrook?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Is my home in Ansteadbrook listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot 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.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. We record the damage, with photos and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
How long does the survey take?
It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. We’ll confirm the timing when you book.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We aren’t loss adjusters and don’t act for you with the insurer. We give you an independent report of the damage, which you can pass to your insurer.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone.
What this survey cannot tell you
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Bear these in mind:
- How your policy defines a storm
- Acting for you with the insurer
- Estimates of repair costs
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book. What our survey covers.
What we check
- Slate and tile slopes
- Flashings
- Flat roofs
- Chimney stacks
- Gutters and fascias
- Ridges and hips
Practical tips
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
You get the report by email and pass it to your insurer yourself. It is your record to use.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.

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. A typical visit takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Cottages and farmhouses around Ansteadbrook often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Find any records of previous roof work
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent

Checking the roof from the ground
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
