Storm damage roof report in Chessington: what you get
We inspect the roof from wherever it can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows and higher points, from the loft space and from the roof where it is safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. We note any part we couldn’t see. You get a written report with photos to give to your insurer. Common reasons to book are broken or displaced guttering and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind, on flashings, flat roofs and chimney stacks.
Water getting into a London home frequently comes from a detail you can’t see from the street: a butterfly roof’s central valley gutter, a parapet gutter, a chimney flashing or a flat roof over a back addition. Whether you are tracing a leak or recording storm damage in Chessington, those are among the first places to look. A hidden gutter that overflows can send water a long way before it shows.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Knowing whether older wear played a part helps you understand your position. We record storm damage and older defects, so you know what the roof shows. London’s older roofs often have bitumen felt underlay or none at all, so once the slates or flashings let water past, little stops it reaching ceilings. Left unchecked, water soaks into timber and plaster and the damage spreads.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, including VAT, and we can help you choose.

Chessington roofs and the weather
About 2.2 miles east lies Fitznells Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Chessington has been built on. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Outer London has a good many Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
If you look after a building such as Castle Hill Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. For landlords with property near Chessington North station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. Trees in and around Horton Country Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

Chessington: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Chessington?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. 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.
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Chessington?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway as you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
How do I book a survey in Chessington?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it is safe. We check everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
That is not something we can promise. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
What we cannot see
It is useful to know what a survey will not do before booking:
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll point you to the right survey before booking. What a survey covers and does not.

The survey, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. It usually takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. For a visit in Chessington, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor the property is on and how to get into the loft. We then look at everything that’s safely in view from the ground, windows, the loft and, where it is safe, the roof itself.
- 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.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
How to prepare
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
