Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Beacon Hill
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from the ground, from windows and higher points, from the roof space and from the roof where it’s safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. We note any part we couldn’t see. You get a written report with photographs to give to your insurer. We’re frequently asked to look into damaged gutters and fascias and slates and tiles blown off the roof, on flat roofs, gutters and fascias and flashings.
Somewhere as small as Beacon Hill, older roofs have often been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

What we do, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take between one and two hours at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Around Beacon Hill, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Before the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Check pets are kept safely away

How we price storm damage roof reports
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- How big the roof is
- House, block, shop or office
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, with VAT included, and we can help you choose.
Booking your survey
What helps most when you contact us:
- The property’s address and postcode
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- What’s prompted the survey
If you’re buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.

Why get it checked now?
If a roofer needs to make the roof safe, take photos first if you can do so safely from ground level. That keeps a record of how it looked. Older cottages and farmhouses around Beacon Hill can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Beacon Hill
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Beacon Hill Community Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. If you let a flat or house near Haslemere station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. Homes near green spaces such as The Flashes can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

FAQs for Beacon Hill
Is Beacon Hill within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Beacon Hill?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. Take photos from ground level first if it is safe. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
Start by complaining to the insurer. If it is not resolved, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help. The Ombudsman asks about storm conditions, whether the damage is consistent with a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
How long does the survey take?
It typically takes between one and two hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. We’ll confirm the timing as you book.
Will you check the loft?
Usually, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply call 07833 053749 or email us with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
