About our storm damage roof report in Brooklands
The Financial Ombudsman looks at three things when it considers a storm damage complaint: whether there were storm conditions around the date, whether the damage fits a storm, and whether the storm was the main cause. Our report focuses on the second and third points. Weather records for the date are for you or your insurer to check. We’re often asked to look into ridge tiles that have come loose and loose or torn flashings, on flat roofs, ridges and hips and gutters and fascias.
In older homes around places like Brooklands, the underlay may be old bitumen felt, or there may be none at all. Without a sound underlay, any gap in the coverings lets water straight through. Finding where it gets in, and whether it is old wear or new damage, decides what comes next. In the loft, damp battens or wet insulation are often the first clues.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Storm damage roof reports around Brooklands
Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed. Historic houses such as Byfleet Manor, about 1.7 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Brooklands goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you live near a park such as Woburn Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. For hotels and guest houses around Brooklands, a roof problem found early is far less disruptive than one found by a guest, so it is worth knowing the roof’s condition.

What we do, step by step
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Being in a smaller place like Brooklands doesn’t change how the visit works: 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.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- 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 is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Leave side gates unlocked
How to book
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or email us.

Why get it checked now?
Damage left open lets in more rain. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. Emergency temporary protection should be arranged with a roofer. Blocked gutters on homes around Brooklands overflow and soak walls, particularly where trees overhang. It’s easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, inc. VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.

Common roof problems in Brooklands
Landlords and managing agents book reports to keep a record for owners and insurers. It helps when explaining damage to a building owner or insurer.
People typically book a survey after spotting one of these:
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Flat roof edges peeled back
If you live in an older home near Church of St Charles Borromeo, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.
Before booking anyone
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Are they insured for the work?
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
Useful tips for Brooklands property owners
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
Questions about the findings are always welcome. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Brooklands
Do you cover Brooklands?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Brooklands as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will you come out to Brooklands?
Yes. Brooklands is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Complain to your insurer first. If you are 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.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
