Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Charleshill
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. Our report shows the damage in photos and says whether it looks like storm damage, wear and tear, or a mix. We are not loss adjusters, and we can’t say whether a claim will be paid. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. We survey ridges and hips, chimney stacks and flashings, and common reasons people get in touch are slates and tiles blown off the roof and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind.
For a small place like Charleshill, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. 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.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

What we do, step by step
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. You’re welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Rural addresses near Charleshill can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the roof space where it is safe.
- The damage is recorded with photos, area by area.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work

Advice
Why get it checked now?
Once the storm has passed, damage that looked minor can let water in for months. Acting quickly typically means less damage overall. In a place like Charleshill, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.

What we are asked to look at in Charleshill
Others book after an insurer has queried a claim. You get an independent record of what the roof shows. We cannot say whether the decision will change.
Look out for signs like these:
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St James, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.
What to check before booking
- Which limits apply to the survey

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Charleshill
Is Charleshill within the area you cover?
Yes, Charleshill is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Charleshill in the area you cover?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Charleshill is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
What if the roof was already worn?
Wear and tear is typically excluded from home insurance. We note both storm damage and older defects, so it is clear what we found. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
It varies by policy. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but check your own wording.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. If it is safe, photograph the damage before it’s covered. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
What’s the best way to book?
Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Storm damage roof reports around Charleshill
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. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. With Farnham Castle about 3.8 miles north-west, Charleshill sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Living close to Thundry Meadows is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. Take a building like Waverley Abbey CofE Junior School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

Tips that help
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
You get the report by email and pass it to your insurer yourself. We don’t deal with the insurer on your behalf.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.
