About our storm damage roof report in Brook
Our storm damage report starts from £150. It’s a written report with photos, sent by email. It does not price the repairs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. If you’ve noticed loose or torn flashings and damaged ridges and hips, we can find out what’s behind it.
For a small place like Brook, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
The report is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
Practical tips
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
After the visit, we write up the report with photos of each area of damage. It covers the damage, its likely cause and any older defects. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
How the survey changes by roof type
Ridge and hip tiles
A lifted ridge tile can let water into the roof. We photograph and describe the damage.
Flat roof coverings
On flat roofs, storms can lift edges and tear membranes. Damage is photographed and described.
Why get it checked now?
A clear, independent record helps you explain the damage to your insurer. It records the damage and what seems to have caused it, alongside any photos you took yourself. In a small place like Brook, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. We confirm the price for the job before booking.

What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It usually takes an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a small place like Brook, 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.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- 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 the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Prices start from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. Repair costs are not included, so ask a roofer to quote.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. An independent report can add to your evidence, but we can’t say how it will turn out.

Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
We cannot say whether a claim will be paid. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
Brook roofs and the weather
Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask.
If you own a rental within reach of Witley station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. If you look after a building such as King Edward's School Witley, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
