Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Broadford
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Take photos from ground level or from windows, and do not climb onto the roof. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. We are frequently asked to look into broken or displaced guttering and new damp or leaks inside, on flat roofs, chimney stacks and flashings.
Roofs in small places like Broadford frequently stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Roof by roof
Ridge and hip tiles
A lifted ridge tile can let water into the roof. We photograph and describe the damage.
Slate roofs
Slates often outlast the nails that hold them. We check whether slipped slates suggest storm damage, older wear or both.
Checking the roof from the ground
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
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.

What else we do in Broadford
Wind, rain and roofs in Broadford
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. The wider area around Broadford has a long history of building, with Loseley Park about 1.4 miles west. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Take a building like Shalford Infant School: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. For an older house near a landmark such as St Michael, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. If you own a rental within reach of Shalford station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
Broadford is about 2 miles south of Guildford, in Surrey. Wherever you are in Broadford, we can come and survey your property. Broadford is one of the towns and villages in Surrey we cover.

What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The size of the roof
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Height and safe access
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, from £400 with VAT included. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.

- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- What kind of property and roof it is
We confirm the price for the job before booking, so you know the cost up front. Prices start from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Broadford questions
How do I find out if my home in Broadford is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you cover Broadford?
Yes, Broadford is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. We check the parts we are given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Just say which days work for you.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Broadford
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. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.
Why us?
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help
- CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID)

The survey, step by step
We will ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes between one and two hours for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a hamlet or village like Broadford, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
