Common roof problems in Church Town
Landlords and building managers often need a written record after a storm. It helps when explaining damage to a building owner or insurer.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
Take an older house close to Church of St Nicholas: leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Whether the price includes VAT
Storm damage roof report in Church Town: what you get
What counts as a storm depends on your policy, though many use gusts of about 55 mph. Check your own policy wording. We don’t decide whether a storm met that test. We record the damage and what seems to have caused it. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. The claim decision rests with your insurer. We survey gutters and fascias, ridges and hips and flashings, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where slates or tiles have gone and damaged pots on the stack.
Being in a small place like Church Town makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned in advance. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

How the survey works
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. For a village or hamlet like Church Town, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.
- 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.
- The damage is recorded with photos, area by area.
- 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.
Before the survey

- Find any records of previous roof work
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: 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.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.

Leaks and storm damage in Church Town
Older houses across Surrey frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed. Titsey Place, about 3.8 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Church Town. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Godstone Village School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. Landlords with a home close to Godstone station may find that a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
