About our storm damage roof report in Brick Hill
What counts as a storm depends on your policy, though many use gusts of about 55 mph. Check your own policy wording. Whether the weather met it is for your insurer. We record the damage and what seems to have caused it. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. The claim decision rests with your insurer. We survey slate and tile slopes, gutters and fascias and chimney stacks, and the problems we are asked to look at most are damage from fallen branches or debris and loose or broken chimney pots and cowls.
Being in a small place like Brick Hill makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned in advance. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, and recommendations are put with the most urgent first where relevant.

Why act early in Brick Hill
If the damage is partly wear and tear, it’s better to know. We record storm damage and older defects, so there are no surprises later. In a small place like Brick Hill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.

What we do, step by step
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there is safe access. In total, it takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In a small place like Brick Hill, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Before the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Storm damage roof reports in Brick Hill: local notes
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. 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. Botleys Mansion, about 4 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Brick Hill. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Valley End CofE Infant School, a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside. If you own a rental within reach of Sunningdale station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. If you live in an older home near Church of St Saviour, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. You’ll have your own independent record to refer to.

Questions from Brick Hill
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Brick Hill?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you cover Brick Hill?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Brick Hill as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
What if the roof was already worn?
Wear and tear is not normally covered. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. Your insurer decides the claim.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
It varies by policy. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but your policy sets the actual test.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Safely, from ground level or a window. Don’t use a ladder or go onto the roof. With binoculars, you can see a lot from ground level, and we’ll record the rest.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
