Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Bellfields
After a storm, safety comes first. Take photos from ground level or from windows, and do not climb onto the roof. Emergency temporary protection, such as covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. We survey slate and tile slopes, ridges and hips and gutters and fascias, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are torn or lifted flat roof coverings and damage from fallen branches or debris.
Houses in smaller places like Bellfields can stand more in the open, where driving rain gets into any gap at a ridge, verge or flashing. If a leak shows only when the wind is in a certain direction, that is a useful clue. It helps to know when and where the water appears. The gutters on the most exposed side can overflow too.
It is not only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

What we do, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a smaller place like Bellfields, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- 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.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before we arrive
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Keep pets in another room

What a storm damage roof report doesn’t cover
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:

- Repair costs or quotes for the work

Wind, rain and roofs in Bellfields
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. About 1.5 miles south lies Guildford Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Bellfields has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you live in an older home near St Peter's Church, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. Take a building like Pond Meadow School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

Bellfields: your questions answered
Will you come out to Bellfields?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How do I find out if my home in Bellfields is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is usually excluded from home insurance. We note both storm damage and older defects, so it is clear what we found. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
We can’t say whether a claim will be paid. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
It depends on your policy. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Your policy document will say.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Usually, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.

What we look for on each type of roof
Slate roofs
In high winds, slates can slip or go, often where nails have rusted. Our report notes moved slates and any sign of older corrosion.
Flat roof coverings
Wind can lift the edges of flat roof coverings or tear them. Damage is photographed and described.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Bellfields
When you claim, your insurer may ask for evidence of the damage and its cause. An independent report gives you a clear record to send. Your insurer still makes the decision.
Problems we come across often include:
- New damp or leaks inside
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
If you own a rental within reach of London Road (Guildford) station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
