About our storm damage roof report in Coxhill Green
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 ask a roofer to quote for the work. 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 ridges and hips, flashings and gutters and fascias, and common reasons people get in touch are broken or displaced guttering and damaged flat roof membrane.
Somewhere as small as Coxhill Green, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. We look at whatever is safely visible and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

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.
Ridge and hip tiles
A lifted ridge tile can let water into the roof. Each one is recorded with photos.
Storm damage roof reports around Coxhill Green
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 is detailed. Botleys Mansion, about 3.5 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Coxhill Green. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Living close to Milford Green and Coxhill Green is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Lawrence, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

DIY checks: what’s safe
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Coxhill Green
Falling trees and branches can damage roofs in high winds. The report shows what was hit and the damage caused, with photographs.
People typically book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
If you look after a building such as St Lawrence CofE (Aided) Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- What the survey won’t cover
Coxhill Green: your questions answered
Is Coxhill Green within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is my home in Coxhill Green listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. We note both storm damage and older defects, so it’s clear what we found. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Our reports start from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. Repair costs are not part of the report.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
Start by complaining to the insurer. If it is not resolved, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help. The Ombudsman asks about storm conditions, whether the damage is consistent with a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Stay off the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
What we can’t see
A survey is a proper look at the roof, but it cannot do everything. Its limits include:
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
- Estimates of repair costs
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will tell you before you book. What our survey covers.
What this survey covers
- Ridges and hips
- Chimney stacks
- Flat roofs
- Gutters and fascias
- Flashings
- Slate and tile slopes
What happens if roof problems are left?
The sooner the damage is recorded, the clearer the evidence. Further storms and quick fixes can make the picture less clear. For an older or listed building in a place like Coxhill Green, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Why us?
- More than 5,000 surveys completed
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Surveys seven days a week
- 20+ years’ experience

How the survey works
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. Somewhere as small as Coxhill Green, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- 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 photographs, area by area.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Let us know about parking near the property
