The survey, step by step
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos, sent to you by email. As for time on site, it usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. A visit to a smaller place like Byfleet is no different on the day: we look from ground level, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it is safe. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- You let us know 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’s safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Getting ready for the survey

- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Advice
Storm damage roof report in Byfleet: what you get
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. It is yours to pass to your insurer. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We’re not loss adjusters, and we can’t tell you whether a claim will succeed. Common reasons to book are lead lifted at abutments and slates and tiles blown off the roof, across slate and tile slopes, flat roofs and flashings.
In older homes around places like Byfleet, 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 report records the roof as we found it on the day. It’s useful right away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

What else we do in Byfleet
DIY checks: what’s safe
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
It is useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
Common questions in Byfleet
How do I find out if my home in Byfleet is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Byfleet?
Yes, Byfleet is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details.
How long does the survey take?
Expect it to take roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Usually, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Byfleet?
Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Many policies expect damage to be reported promptly. Let your insurer know early, and check what your policy asks for. Our report can then add a clear record. In a smaller place like Byfleet, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing doesn’t stay loose for long. Wind gets under it and lifts more, and water follows.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Byfleet
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
Tips that help
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Photograph the damage safely from below
You will need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
What a survey costs
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Every price we give includes VAT. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for your roof before booking.
What to let us know when you get in touch
What helps most when you contact us:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage

Storm damage roof reports in Byfleet: local notes
About 0.6 miles south-east lies Byfleet Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Byfleet has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. 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.
For businesses in and around places like The Peacocks, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters. If you look after a building like St Mary's CofE Controlled Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary the Virgin, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.
