Storm damage roof reports around Charlton
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. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. With Hampton Court Palace about 4.6 miles east, Charlton 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Littleton CofE Infant School, a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside. If you live near a park like Sunbury Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. For landlords with property near Upper Halliford station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

Storm damage roof report in Charlton: what you get
After a storm, it helps to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We are not loss adjusters, and we cannot say whether a claim will be paid. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. We survey chimney stacks, slate and tile slopes and ridges and hips, and people most often book us about loose or torn flashings and broken or displaced guttering.
For a small place like Charlton, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It is useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Prices for storm damage roof reports in Charlton
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The roof’s overall size
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
For a price for your roof in Charlton, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Booking your survey
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Anything about access we should know
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and give us some details about the property and we’ll point you to the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
What you can safely check yourself
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
What we look for on each type of roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Older tiles held only by nibs, without nails or clips, can lift more easily. We note what we can see of how tiles are fixed.
Chimney stacks
Flashings around stacks can lift in strong winds. We photograph any we find.
Charlton: your questions answered
Will you come out to Charlton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Is Charlton in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Charlton as anywhere else.
Do you use drones?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We check everything that can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We are not loss adjusters and do not act for you with the insurer. We provide an independent record of the roof for you to send to your insurer.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Insurers normally exclude wear and tear. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. Your insurer decides the claim.

Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
For repair costs, ask a roofer to quote. They can use our report to see what needs doing.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Damage left open lets in more rain. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Charlton, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, inc. VAT, and we will tell you which fits.

How the survey works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take an hour or two at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. Somewhere like Charlton needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
How to prepare
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
