Egham Storm Damage Roof Report
An independent record of roof damage after a storm in Egham. More than 5,000 surveys completed across London and South East England.
- Water coming in after the storm
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Loose or torn flashings
Useful tips for Egham property owners
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Take photos from the ground or a window, never by climbing
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. If that doesn’t resolve it, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. They can damage the roof in high winds.
About our storm damage roof report in Egham
High winds normally affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. Common reasons to book are holes or cracks caused by debris and loose or torn flashings, across gutters and fascias, slate and tile slopes and ridges and hips.
In a town like Egham, older houses and newer estates leak in different ways. Older roofs suffer slipped slates, worn mortar and tired lead, while later houses can leak at valleys, verges and flat-roofed additions. The cause decides what happens next, so it is worth finding it properly. It also tells you whether the problem is old wear or something more recent.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Egham
Roofs that were already worn are more likely to suffer in a storm. Corroded nails on slate roofs, worn mortar on ridges and old flashings can all give way. Our report notes both the storm damage and any older wear.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Loose or torn flashings
For an older house near a landmark like St John's Church, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.
What to check before booking
- Their report turnaround times
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- What happens after the report arrives
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
Landlord and commercial surveys in Egham
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed beforehand. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which can make access easier.
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the roof.
How the survey works
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes about 1–2 hours for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there. A survey in Egham needs access inside and out, including the loft hatch and any rooms with damp. Mention gates, side passages and anything at the back. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
How to book
We survey roofs on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Related advice
Checking the roof from ground level
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book.
Egham: your questions answered
Is my home in Egham listed or in a conservation area?
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.
Do you cover Egham?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Egham is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. If it’s safe, take photos before it goes on. We can record the damage in our report.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
Wind, rain and roofs in Egham
The wider area around Egham has a long history of building, with Frogmore House about 3.7 miles north-west. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. In Surrey, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
Landlords with a home close to Egham station may find that a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. Hotels and guest houses near Egham cannot easily close rooms for a leak, so it pays to find faults before guests do.
