About our storm damage roof report in Earlswood
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. It is a written report with photos, sent by email. It doesn’t price the repairs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. If you are worried about slates and tiles blown off the roof and lead lifted at abutments, we can find out what’s behind it.
Around Earlswood, chimneys on older homes are a common source of leaks, at the flashings, the pointing or the mortar round the pots. Damp in a chimney breast can have more than one cause, so it isn’t always obvious where it starts. The stack, its flashings and the loft space beside it are all worth checking.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What we look for on each type of roof
Chimney stacks
Flashings around stacks can lift in strong winds. Loose flashings are recorded.
Flat roof coverings
Lifted trims and laps are common after a storm. We check whether the damage is recent or older.
Wind, rain and roofs in Earlswood
In Surrey, older roofs are often 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like St John's Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. Shop and office owners around The Belfry may find that a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running. Homes near green spaces such as Earlswood Common can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.

How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photos, emailed to you. On timing, most surveys take between one and two hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a smaller place like Earlswood, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from ground level and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- 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.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Keep pets in another room
Booking a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you are ready.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Earlswood
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.
Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Earlswood
Is there anything to prepare before you come to Earlswood?
Clear the way to the loft hatch if there is one, and tell us about any leaks, stains or past repairs. Let us know about parking and access in Earlswood too.
Is Earlswood within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. If it’s safe, photograph the damage before it is covered. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Stay off the roof. Take photos from ground level or from windows. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
Will you check the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.

Blocked gutters on homes around Earlswood overflow and soak walls, especially where trees overhang. It is easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT.
