Dunsfold questions
Is Dunsfold in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Is Dunsfold within the area you cover?
Yes. Dunsfold is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed.
Do you look in the loft space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. Repair costs are not part of the report.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Dunsfold
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 photographs, and what we think the likely cause is. 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 cannot tell you whether a claim will succeed. We survey ridges and hips, chimney stacks and flat roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are damage from fallen branches or debris and flashings pulled away from walls or stacks.
In a village or hamlet like Dunsfold, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, particularly to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

When to book a survey in Dunsfold
Branches and trees often come down on roofs during storms. We record the damage and where it is, with photos.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
Living close to Fir Tree Copse is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Before you book anyone
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- When you will get the report
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
Different roofs, different checks
Flat roof coverings
Wind can lift the edges of flat roof coverings or tear them. Damage is photographed and described.
Chimney stacks
High winds can loosen pots, cowls and aerials on stacks. The report notes any damage to the stack.
Can I check my roof myself?
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.

How the survey works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photographs, sent to you by email. As for time on site, it typically takes about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Dunsfold often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
How to book

Dunsfold roofs and the weather
In Surrey, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it’s 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary and All Saints, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. If you let a flat or house near Witley station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
