How the survey works
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photos, sent to you by email. On timing, most surveys take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. A survey in Ashtead needs access inside and out, including the loft hatch and any rooms with damp. If there is a side gate or a rear garden, let us know how to reach it. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
How to prepare
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

Storm damage roof report in Ashtead
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Falling branches can cause damage too. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. We survey chimney stacks, gutters and fascias and flashings, and common reasons people get in touch are stains appearing after strong winds and loose or broken chimney pots and cowls.
Many homes around Ashtead have been extended, often with flat roofs or dormers, and the joint between new and old is a classic place for water to get in. Flashings, upstands and the edges of flat roofs are looked at alongside the main roof. The stain inside is often some way from where water gets in, particularly around extensions.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photo. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Checking the roof from the ground
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book and it will help the survey.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.

Ashtead questions
Do you carry out roof surveys in Ashtead?
Yes, Ashtead is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is there anything to prepare before you come to Ashtead?
Very little. Keep pets out of the way, leave side gates unlocked and have any old roof paperwork handy, and the visit in Ashtead can get straight on.
Do you test for asbestos?
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.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. We can record the damage in our report.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We look at everything that can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Larger or more complex roofs are quoted for their size. It doesn’t include repair costs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for those.
Useful tips for Ashtead property owners
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- File receipts for anything you pay for
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. After that, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. They can damage the roof in high winds.
Ashtead roofs and the weather
Fitznells Manor, about 3.7 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Ashtead. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. 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. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
For landlords with property near Ashtead station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. The streets around a church such as St George's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. Take a building like Parsons Mead School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
