Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Ashford Hill
Wear and tear is usually 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 give an honest view of what we see. Your insurer then decides how its policy applies. We survey flat roofs, ridges and hips and flashings, and common reasons people get in touch are broken or displaced guttering and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind.
Being in a small place like Ashford Hill makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Ashford Hill
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photos included.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Let us know about it when you book and we will plan the survey around it.
Wind, rain and roofs in Ashford Hill
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Paul, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. For landlords with property near Midgham station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

What we do, step by step
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Rural addresses near Ashford Hill can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We check the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Before the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
Arrange a survey
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email, let us know about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

What this survey can’t tell you
Every survey has limits, and it’s better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- The outcome of a claim
- Acting for you with the insurer
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will tell you. The full list of what we check.
Roof types and parts we check
- Flat roofs
- Flashings
- Slate and tile slopes
- Ridges and hips
- Chimney stacks
- Gutters and fascias
DIY checks: what’s safe
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
Ashford Hill questions
Do you cover Ashford Hill?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Ashford Hill as anywhere else.
How do I find out if my home in Ashford Hill is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
What if the roof was already worn?
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. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Ashford Hill?
Storms don’t only affect pitched roofs. Wind can lift edges and tear coverings, and blocked outlets can leave water ponding after heavy rain. Our report covers flat and pitched roofs.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Water coming in after the storm
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ashford Hill Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
