About our storm damage roof report in Chiddingfold
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’s yours to pass to your insurer. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We’re not loss adjusters, and we can’t tell you whether a claim will succeed. If you’ve noticed broken or displaced guttering and damaged flat roof membrane, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on ridges and hips, chimney stacks and gutters and fascias alike.
Being in a small place like Chiddingfold makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

What else we do in Chiddingfold
DIY checks: what’s safe
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Chiddingfold
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Chiddingfold. For a price for a let property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
Practical tips
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
The report is emailed to you, and you decide what to send to your insurer. We don’t deal with the insurer on your behalf.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. They can damage the roof in high winds.
Chiddingfold: your questions answered
Do you cover Chiddingfold?
Yes, Chiddingfold is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the property.
Will you come out to Chiddingfold?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Just say which days work for you.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
Each policy has its own definition. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but check your own wording.
Will you check the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
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 applicable.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
Complain to your insurer first. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, though we can’t predict the outcome.
What happens on the day
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photos, sent to you by email. On timing, most surveys take between one and two hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Older roofs in small places like Chiddingfold can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- You tell us when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there is access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- The findings are written up with photos for you to share with your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Tell us about parking before the day

Leaks and storm damage in Chiddingfold
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask. Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
For landlords with property near Witley station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. If you look after a building such as St Mary's Church of England Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. Take an older house close to St Teresa of Avila Church: lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.
