Storm damage roof report in Egham Wick: what you get
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. It is a photo-illustrated written report, sent by email. It isn’t a repair quote and doesn’t include repair costs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. Typical surveys look at gutters pulled loose in the wind and damaged flat roof membrane, across flashings, chimney stacks and slate and tile slopes.
In a village or hamlet like Egham Wick, 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, especially 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’s worth finding the cause soon.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

Storm damage roof reports around Egham Wick
Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. About 3.6 miles north lies Frogmore House, a reminder of how long the area around Egham Wick has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Cuthbert's Catholic Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. Take an older house close to Church of Saint Simon and Saint Jude: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

Egham Wick questions
Is my home in Egham Wick listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Egham Wick?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Egham Wick as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We are not loss adjusters and do not act for you with the insurer. We give you an independent report of the damage, which you can pass to your insurer.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details when booking.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
It depends on your policy. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Check your policy wording.
How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, take photos as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take about one to two hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Around Egham Wick, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- 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.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before we arrive
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
Booking a survey
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email, let us know about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.

How the survey changes by roof type
Clay and concrete tiles
A missing tile lets rain reach the underlay. Each gap is recorded with a photo.
Lead flashings
Wind can peel back flashings at abutments and stacks. Loose or damaged flashings are photographed and noted.
Common roof problems in Egham Wick
Landlords and building managers frequently need a written record after a storm. The report can be shared with owners, tenants or insurers.
People normally book a survey after spotting one of these:
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
If you let a flat or house near Virginia Water station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away.
What to check before booking
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Will the report include photos?
- Their report turnaround times
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
Should I look at the roof myself first?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
When you need someone else
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- The outcome of a claim
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will tell you. What our survey covers.

Tips that help
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
If anything in the report isn’t clear, just ask us. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.
