Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Beare Green

Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. It sets out what is damaged, with photos, and what we think the likely cause is. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We are not loss adjusters and can’t say whether a claim will be paid. We survey chimney stacks, gutters and fascias and flashings, and common reasons people get in touch are slipped or missing slates or tiles and stains appearing after strong winds.

Somewhere as small as Beare Green, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, particularly 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.

We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Can I check my roof myself?

If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.

A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Beare Green

Do you carry out roof surveys in Beare Green?

Yes, Beare Green is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Beare Green as anywhere else.

Do you cover smaller places like Beare Green?

Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.

Which days do you carry out surveys?

We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.

How are storm damage reports priced?

Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Larger or more complex roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs are not included, so ask a roofer to quote.

Will you walk on the roof?

Only when it’s safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.

Do I have to be there for the survey?

Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. We will talk about access as you book.

Do you look in the roof space?

Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.

Storm damage roof reports around Beare Green

In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.

Trees in and around Newdigate Brickworks shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. Take a building like The Weald CofE Primary School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

Common roof problems in Beare Green

Falling trees and branches can damage roofs in high winds. The report shows what was hit and the damage caused, backed up with photos.

Things that often lead to a survey include:

  • Damaged ridges and hips
  • Stains appearing after strong winds
  • Flat roof edges peeled back
  • Loose or torn flashings

For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Mary Magdalene, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

Before you book anyone

  • What the survey won’t cover
  • If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
  • Their insurance cover

What to expect from a roof survey

What this survey can’t tell you

To be straight with you, a roof survey has limits:

  • Repair costs or quotes for the work
  • Whether your insurer will pay the claim
  • What your policy covers, which depends on its wording

If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book. What our survey covers.

Roof types and parts we check

  • Slate and tile slopes
  • Gutters and fascias
  • Chimney stacks
  • Flashings
  • Flat roofs
  • Ridges and hips

Why get it checked now?

A few slipped slates can soon lead to wet timbers. Acting quickly typically means less damage overall. Around Beare Green, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.

A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.

What you get with us

  • Thermal imaging and drones used where they help
  • Clear package prices, with VAT included
  • Customer satisfaction of 98%
  • Professional indemnity and public liability insurance

What happens on the day

You don’t need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Rural addresses near Beare Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.

  1. We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
  2. We view the roof from wherever it can be seen safely, including the loft where there’s access.
  3. The damage is recorded with photos, area by area.
  4. We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
  5. We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.

Preparing for the visit

  • Show us where any leaks or stains appear
  • Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
  • Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
