How a storm damage roof report works in Brockham
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 photographs, and what we think the likely cause is. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We are not loss adjusters, and we can’t tell you whether a claim will succeed. If you’re worried about ridge tiles that have come loose and gaps where slates or tiles have gone, we can find out what’s behind it, on ridges and hips, flat roofs and flashings alike.
Somewhere as small as Brockham, older roofs have often been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. We check what can safely be seen and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
It isn’t only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

Storm damage roof reports around Brockham
With Polesden Lacey about 4.2 miles west, Brockham sits in an area with a long building history. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
For an older house near a landmark such as Christ Church, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as North Downs Primary School, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.

What affects the price in Brockham
All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- House, block, shop or office
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.
What we need to know
We will usually ask about:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.
When you need someone else
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Bear these in mind:
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording

How it works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a small place like Brockham, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Check pets are kept safely away
How to book
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or send us an email. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Brockham: your questions answered
Will you come out to Brockham?
Yes, Brockham is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
How do I find out if my home in Brockham is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
How long will you be at the property?
Most surveys take about one to two hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. The report follows by email.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We’re not loss adjusters, and we don’t negotiate claims. We give you an independent report of the damage for you to send to your insurer.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
Common roof problems in Brockham
When you claim, your insurer may ask for evidence of the damage and its cause. A written report with photos gives you something clear to pass on. Your insurer still makes the decision.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Water coming in after the storm
Trees in and around Brockham Limeworks shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- Will the report include photos?
- What insurance they carry
- What follow-up you get after the report

Should I look at the roof myself first?
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
