Storm damage roof report in Elmbridge Village: what you get
After a storm, safety comes first. Photograph the damage from ground level or a window, and never climb up. Emergency temporary protection, such as covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. Common reasons to book are slates and tiles blown off the roof and loose or torn flashings, across ridges and hips, chimney stacks and flat roofs.
In a village or hamlet like Elmbridge Village, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. 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.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Before temporary repairs, photograph the damage from ground level if it is safe. Those photos show the damage as it was. Older and listed buildings around Elmbridge Village may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.

Do you carry out roof surveys in Elmbridge Village?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Elmbridge Village is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is Elmbridge Village within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
There’s no single figure. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Check your policy wording.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Our reports start from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. Repair costs are not part of the report.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Safely, from the ground or a window. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. Binoculars can help you see damage from below, and we will record the rest.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
What we cannot see
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
- Negotiating a claim settlement
- How your policy defines a storm

What happens on the day
You do not need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. For a village or hamlet like Elmbridge Village, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We check the roof from wherever it is safe.
- 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 we arrive
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
Booking a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Storm damage roof reports around Elmbridge Village
In Surrey, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. 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. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. 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.
In and around Elmbridge Village, as anywhere, a roof is easiest to deal with when its problems are found early. If you look after a building such as Glebelands School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

Can I check my roof myself?
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
Different roofs, different checks
Flat roof coverings
Debris blown onto a flat roof can puncture the covering or block outlets. We record what we find.
Lead flashings
When flashings lift, water can get behind them. We note where this has happened and any damp inside.
