Storm damage roof report in Cobham, Surrey
Storm damage roof reports across Cobham, with over 20 years’ experience behind it. You get a clear report with photographs.
- Damaged pots on the stack

- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
What we look for on each type of roof
Chimney stacks
Older stacks with worn pointing or cracked flaunching are more likely to suffer. We record both the storm damage and the older wear.
Flat roof coverings
Debris blown onto a flat roof can puncture the covering or block outlets. Any damage is recorded with photos.
Storm damage roof report in Cobham
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We are not loss adjusters, and we can’t tell you whether a claim will succeed. If you’ve noticed water coming in after the storm and damaged pots on the stack, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Chimney stacks on older houses around places like Cobham can let water in, at the flashings, the pointing or the mortar round the pots. Damp on a chimney breast is not always rain from above, which is why it is worth tracing properly. The stack, its flashings and the loft space beside it are all worth checking.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

What else we do in Cobham
Why act early in Cobham
Leaving storm damage can let water into the loft space and rooms below. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. Emergency temporary protection should be arranged with a roofer. Arranging work in a smaller place like Cobham is easier with notice than in an emergency. A survey gives you that notice.
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

The survey, step by step
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. For a survey in Cobham, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. Tell us about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Getting ready for the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
Book a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Tips from our surveys
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
If anything in the report is not clear, just ask us. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Keep records of roof work and surveys. They can help show the roof was looked after.
FAQs for Cobham
Will you come out to Cobham?
Yes, Cobham is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Cobham?
Yes, Cobham is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
How long is the visit?
It typically takes about one to two hours for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. We’ll confirm the timing as you book.
What if the roof was already worn?
Wear and tear is not usually covered. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. Your insurer decides the claim.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. If it is safe, photograph the damage before it’s covered. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it’s 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 applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Wind, rain and roofs in Cobham
Historic houses such as The Homewood, about 1.2 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Cobham goes. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, 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. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
Take a building like St Andrew's CofE Primary School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. If you live near a park like West End Common, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. For landlords with property near Cobham & Stoke Dabernon station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away.

What a survey costs
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photographs, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the survey around it.
