Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Bisley
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 does not include repair costs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for that. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. If you are worried about flat roof edges peeled back and stains appearing after strong winds, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a smaller place like Bisley, some roofs face open ground, 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.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

The survey, step by step
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the roof space if there is safe access. In total, it takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. A visit to a smaller place like Bisley is no different on the day: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. It helps to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We check the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Bisley
Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
If you live in an older home near Church of St John the Baptist, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. Take a building like Bisley CofE Primary School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

Bisley questions
Do you cover smaller places like Bisley?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bisley?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. We record the damage, with photographs and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. If you’re still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. An independent report can add to your evidence, but we cannot say how it will turn out.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It varies by policy. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but check your own wording.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest.
Can I check my roof myself?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
How we price storm damage roof reports
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- House, block, shop or office
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.
Helping us price your survey
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- What’s prompted the survey
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Where the property is, with the postcode

When to book a survey in Bisley
Roofs that were already worn are more likely to suffer in a storm. Nail fatigue, eroded ridge mortar and tired flashings can all fail in high winds. Our report notes both the storm damage and any older wear.
We are often asked to look at:
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
For businesses in and around places such as The Peacocks, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- How soon the report will arrive
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
Tips from our surveys
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
Questions about the findings are always welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
