Storm damage roof report in Chilworth, Surrey
An independent record of roof damage after a storm in Chilworth, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photos.
- Loose or torn flashings
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
How it works
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect between one and two hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a hamlet or village like Chilworth, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- 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.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Leave a clear route to the loft
Booking a survey
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email to find out.

About our storm damage roof report in Chilworth
High winds normally affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Falling branches can cause damage too. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. Common reasons to book are lead lifted at abutments and gutters pulled loose in the wind, on gutters and fascias, chimney stacks and flashings.
Many homes in small places like Chilworth face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

For landlords and managing agents
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Larger roofs take longer.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roof coverings
Lifted trims and laps are common after a storm. We look at whether the damage is recent or older.
Ridge and hip tiles
Water can get in where ridge tiles have moved. We photograph and describe the damage.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Before temporary repairs, photograph the damage from ground level if it’s safe. Those photos show the damage as it was. For an older or listed building in a place like Chilworth, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, access and which survey you book.

Chilworth: your questions answered
Is my home in Chilworth listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Chilworth within the area you cover?
Yes, Chilworth is covered. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How do I book a survey in Chilworth?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know the address and what you need to know. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
How long is the visit?
Expect it to take about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. The written report follows by email.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We aren’t loss adjusters and do not act for you with the insurer. We provide an independent record of the roof, which you can pass to your insurer.
Checking the roof from the ground
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Leaks and storm damage in Chilworth
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed. Chilworth Manor, about 0.4 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Chilworth. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Thomas, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. Landlords with a home close to Chilworth station may find that tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. Homes near green spaces such as Shalford Mill can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
