About our storm damage roof report in Claygate
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It isn’t a repair quote and does not include repair costs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for that. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. We survey flashings, flat roofs and slate and tile slopes, and people most often book us about lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and damage from fallen branches or debris.
Houses in smaller places like Claygate can stand more in the open, where driving rain gets into any gap at a ridge, verge or flashing. A leak that only appears in certain weather often points to an exposed detail. Tell us when it happens when you contact us. Gutters and downpipes on the exposed side are worth a look as well.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

What we do, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. If you have questions on the day, just ask. In a smaller place like Claygate, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from the ground and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Before the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
Getting a price
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

How we price storm damage roof reports
Our packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
What we need to know
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Anything about access we should know
- What’s prompted the survey
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or send us an email to find out.
Common roof problems in Claygate
Storms don’t only affect pitched roofs. Wind can lift edges and tear coverings, and blocked outlets can leave water ponding after heavy rain. We record what we find on flat and pitched roofs alike.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
Shop and office owners around The Ashley Centre may find that a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- Which limits apply to the survey
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
Wind, rain and roofs in Claygate
Historic houses such as The Homewood, about 2.3 miles west, show how far back building in the area around Claygate goes. 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 a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
If you let a flat or house near Claygate station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. For an older house near a landmark like Church of Holy Trinity, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

What this survey can’t tell you
To be straight with you, there are limits to any roof survey:
- Estimates of repair costs
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
- Your insurer’s view of the claim

- Ridges and hips
- Slate and tile slopes

- Gutters and fascias

What you can safely check yourself
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.

FAQs for Claygate
Do you cover smaller places like Claygate?
Yes, Claygate is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Claygate?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Claygate is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Wear and tear is not usually covered. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. Your insurer decides the claim.
Will you check the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
How experienced are you?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
