About our storm damage roof report in Cramhurst
Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies by policy. Check your own policy wording. Whether the weather met it is for your insurer. Our part is recording the damage to your roof and its likely cause. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. The claim decision rests with your insurer. If you’ve noticed gutters pulled loose in the wind and lead lifted at abutments, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Many homes in small places like Cramhurst face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.

How the survey works
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit typically takes between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Somewhere as small as Cramhurst, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We check the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- 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.

Advice
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Cramhurst
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’s detailed. Historic houses such as Loseley Park, about 4.4 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Cramhurst goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
If you live near a park such as Rodborough Common, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near St John the Evangelist's Church, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. Landlords with a home close to Milford (Surrey) station may find that a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away.

Practical tips
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. You’ll have your own independent record to refer to.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Do not go up a ladder to look.
Why get it checked now?
The sooner the damage is recorded, the clearer the evidence. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. In a small place like Cramhurst, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.

What a survey costs

Prices start from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, with VAT included, and we will tell you which fits.

Cramhurst questions
Do you carry out roof surveys in Cramhurst?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, and Cramhurst is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property.
Is Cramhurst within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
Raise it with your insurer first. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that does not resolve it. The Ombudsman asks about storm conditions, whether the damage is consistent with a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
How long does the survey take?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof; most visits take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. The written report follows by email.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
