Storm damage roof report in Cudworth
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. It is yours to pass to your insurer. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We are not loss adjusters, and we can’t tell you whether a claim will succeed. We are often asked to look into damaged ridges and hips and flat roof edges peeled back, across flashings, slate and tile slopes and gutters and fascias.
For a small place like Cudworth, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. It’s useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Different roofs, different checks
Chimney stacks
High winds can loosen pots, cowls and aerials on stacks. The report notes any damage to the stack.
Flat roof coverings
Edge trims and laps are often where flat roof coverings start to peel back. We check whether the damage is recent or older.
Useful tips for Cudworth property owners
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Photograph damage inside the house too
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. After that, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.

What a survey costs
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Height and safe access
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
Getting in touch
We will typically ask about:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Dates you’re working to, like exchange
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- The address and postcode of the property
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.
Wind, rain and roofs in Cudworth
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, ideally before any re-roofing is planned. 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. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
Anyone responsible for a site like Newdigate CofE Endowed Aided Infant School will know that a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside. Landlords with a home close to Holmwood station may find that a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away.
Cudworth is about 4 miles west of Horley, in Surrey. Cudworth gets the same service as everywhere else we work: a close look at everything that’s safely in view, photos and a clear written report. Cudworth is one of the towns and villages in Surrey where we work.
We survey roofs across the RH5 postcode area for storm damage roof reports. Local streets include Cudworth Park, The Poplars and Burnt Oak Lane, all of which we cover. We also cover Newdigate (1 mile west), Russ Hill (1 mile south-east), Parkgate (2 miles north), Charlwood (2 miles east) and Norwood Hill (2 miles north-east). Larger places within reach include Guildford (15 miles north-west), Epsom (12 miles north), Horley (4 miles east), Redhill (7 miles north-east), Ewell (13 miles north) and Reigate (6 miles north-east).
Around Cudworth
Typical jobs here are in homes near Newdigate Brickworks and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Holmwood station, roughly 2.8 miles north-west. A little further out are Langley Green Hospital (3.8 miles south-east). Not far away are Vann Lake and Leith Hill.
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Cudworth?
Strong winds lift loose or poorly fixed slates and tiles, ridge pieces and flashings. Driving rain then gets in through the gaps. People usually call us after a storm, once they’ve noticed damage or a leak.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Loose or torn flashings
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
Trees in and around Newdigate Brickworks shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
Before booking anyone

- Will the report include photos?
- When you will get the report
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
FAQs for Cudworth
Will you come out to Cudworth?
Yes, we do. We work right 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.
Is my home in Cudworth listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Complain to your insurer first. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, though we can’t predict the outcome.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Cudworth?
Simply call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Wear and tear is not usually covered. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
What we do, step by step
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit typically takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In a hamlet or village like Cudworth, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
