Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Esher
High winds usually 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. Falling branches can cause damage too. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. Typical surveys look at damaged pots on the stack and damaged gutters and fascias, on gutters and fascias, chimney stacks and flat roofs.
Chimney stacks on older houses around places like Esher can let water in, 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. It’s worth looking at the stack from outside and at the timbers beside it in the loft.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Tips from our surveys
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. After that, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Store invoices and reports for any roof work. They help show the roof was in good order before a storm.

What else we do in Esher
Honest limits
To be straight with you, a roof survey has limits:
- Your insurer’s view of the claim
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll tell you before you book. The full list of what we check.
What we check
- Flashings
- Flat roofs
- Chimney stacks
- Slate and tile slopes
- Gutters and fascias
- Ridges and hips
Leave it or get it looked at?
Before temporary repairs, photograph the damage from the ground if it is safe. That keeps a record of how it looked. In a smaller place like Esher, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing doesn’t stay loose for long. Each storm lifts it a little further.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Why us?
- An independent look at the roof
- Satisfaction rate of 98%
- Surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays
- We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

Questions from Esher
Is my home in Esher listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Is Esher within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. If you are still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. An independent report can add to your evidence, but we cannot say how it will turn out.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. Repair costs aren’t included, so ask a roofer to quote.
How long does the survey take?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The report is sent afterwards by email.
The survey, step by step
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Esher, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. Inside, the loft is looked at where it can be reached safely.
- 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 the ground, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building

Wind, rain and roofs in Esher
The wider area around Esher has a long history of building, with The Homewood about 1.8 miles south-west. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
Homes near green spaces like Claremont Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Milbourne Lodge School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.
