Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Christmas Pie
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We are not loss adjusters and can’t tell you if your claim will succeed. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. We survey slate and tile slopes, flat roofs and ridges and hips, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are damaged flat roof membrane and damaged pots on the stack.
Somewhere as small as Christmas Pie, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Common questions in Christmas Pie
Do you cover smaller places like Christmas Pie?
Yes, Christmas Pie is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
How do I find out if my home in Christmas Pie is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
We can’t say whether a claim will be paid. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
What if the roof was already worn?
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so you know what the roof shows. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. If it’s safe, photograph the damage before it’s covered. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Common roof problems in Christmas Pie
Storms do not only affect pitched roofs. Coverings can tear or peel back at the edges, and water can pond where outlets are blocked. Our report covers flat and pitched roofs.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Damaged ridges and hips
- New damp or leaks inside
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
For landlords with property near Wanborough station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
Before you book any roof surveyor

- Their insurance cover

Wind, rain and roofs in Christmas Pie
With Wanborough Manor about 0.6 miles south-east, Christmas Pie sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often 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. 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. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Bartholomew, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. Take a building like Puttenham CofE Infant School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

Tips from our surveys
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
