About our storm damage roof report in Cranleigh
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. It sets out what is damaged, with photos, and what we think the likely cause is. It’s yours to pass to your insurer. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We are not loss adjusters and can’t say whether a claim will be paid. We survey flashings, slate and tile slopes and gutters and fascias, and common reasons people get in touch are slates and tiles blown off the roof and lead lifted at abutments.
In a smaller place like Cranleigh, some roofs face open ground, so wind and driving rain find any weakness in ridges, verges and flashings. A leak that only appears in certain weather often points to an exposed detail. Let us know when it happens when you get in touch. Gutters and downpipes on the exposed side are worth a look as well.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

How it works
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes between one and two hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Parking around Cranleigh is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. Low roofs on bungalows can frequently be seen well from ground level, and the loft shows the rest.
- You tell us when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the roof space where it is safe.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets in another room
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Common questions in Cranleigh
Is Cranleigh within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Cranleigh?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
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 every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is not usually covered. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. Your insurer decides the claim.
When to book a survey in Cranleigh
When you claim, your insurer may ask for evidence of the damage and its cause. An independent report gives you a clear record to send. Your insurer still makes the decision.
We are often asked to look at:
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
Living close to Sayer's Croft LNR is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What follow-up you get after the report
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?

Why get it checked now?
Damage left open lets in more rain. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Cranleigh, so it helps to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. A survey gives you that notice.
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and which survey you book.
Why us?
- Weekday and weekend surveys
- PI and public liability insurance

Different roofs, different checks
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles without fixings can move more easily in wind. We note what we can see of how tiles are fixed.
Lead flashings
Old flashings that were already loose can give way in a storm. We record what looks recent and what looks older.
What this survey can’t tell you
It’s a careful look at the roof, not the whole story. The main limits are:
- A price for the repairs
- Negotiating a claim settlement
- The outcome of a claim
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking. The full list of what we check.
Roof types and parts we check

Cranleigh roofs and the weather
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. 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 is detailed. If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Nicholas are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. If you look after a building like St Cuthbert Mayne Catholic Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.
