About our storm damage roof report in Banstead
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It is not a repair quote and doesn’t include repair costs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for that. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. If you’ve noticed roofs hit by falling trees and ridge tiles that have come loose, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Houses in smaller places like Banstead can stand more in the open, where driving rain gets into any gap at a ridge, verge or flashing. A leak that only appears in certain weather often points to an exposed detail. It helps to know when and where the water appears. The gutters on the most exposed side can overflow too.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

What happens if roof problems are left?
It helps to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. On a bungalow or cottage around Banstead, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.

Checking the roof from ground level
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
Common questions in Banstead
Is Banstead within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Is my home in Banstead listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when you book and we will plan the survey around it.
How long will you be at the property?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take between one and two hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
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.
How experienced are you?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
It depends on your policy. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Check your policy wording.
The survey, step by step
We’ll ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes between one and two hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. A visit to a smaller place like Banstead is no different on the day: we look from ground level, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it is safe. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
Booking a survey
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so ring 07833 053749 or email us with the details.

Banstead roofs and the weather
Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. 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 2.7 miles north-west lies Nonsuch Mansion, a reminder of how long the area around Banstead has been built on. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
If you own a rental within reach of Banstead station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.
Banstead is about 3 miles west of Coulsdon, in Surrey. Whether the building in Banstead is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, we can survey the roof. Across Surrey, we cover Banstead and the places around it. We also survey roofs in London.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Banstead?
A storm often finds a roof’s existing weak spots. Corroded nails on slate roofs, worn mortar on ridges and old flashings can all give way. Our report notes both the storm damage and any older wear.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
Take a building like St Anne's Catholic Primary School: a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.
