How a storm damage roof report works in Charlwood
Our storm damage report starts from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It doesn’t 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 holes or cracks caused by debris and damaged gutters and fascias, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on chimney stacks, ridges and hips and flashings alike.
For a small place like Charlwood, 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, plus any earlier repairs. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photo. You will see the good as well as the bad.

What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- House, block, shop or office
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Getting in touch
When you call or email, these details help:
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- The property’s address and postcode
- Anything about access we should know
We confirm the price for your survey before you book, so you know the cost up front. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. To book, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
What happens if roof problems are left?
If the damage is partly wear and tear, it’s better to know. We record storm damage and older defects, so you know what the roof shows. Around Charlwood, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

The survey, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. In a small place like Charlwood, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You tell us when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We view the roof from wherever it can be seen safely, including the loft where there’s access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Check pets are kept safely away
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in

Advice
Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Charlwood
Is Charlwood in the area you cover?
Yes, Charlwood is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in Charlwood 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. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so it is clear what we found. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. If it’s safe, take photos before it goes on. We can record the damage in our report.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed as you book.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Charlwood
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.
Honest limits
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- A price for the repairs
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll point you to the right survey before you book. The full list of what we check.
What this survey covers
- Gutters and fascias
- Chimney stacks
- Slate and tile slopes
- Flashings
- Ridges and hips
- Flat roofs
Can I check my roof myself?
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
Leaks and storm damage in Charlwood
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. Bentworth Hall, about 4.8 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Charlwood. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Take an older house close to Monkwood Mission Church: leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.
