About our storm damage roof report in Farleigh
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Take photos from the ground or from windows, and don’t climb onto the roof. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. If you’ve noticed torn or lifted flat roof coverings and new damp or leaks inside, we can find out what’s behind it.
For a small place like Farleigh, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
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.

What you can safely check yourself
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.

Questions from Farleigh
How do I find out if my home in Farleigh is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you cover smaller places like Farleigh?
Yes. Farleigh is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Complain to your insurer first. If you are still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, though we can’t predict the outcome.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Please don’t climb onto the roof. Take photos from the ground or from windows. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
Do you look in the loft space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
That’s not something we can promise. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
Storm damage roof reports in Farleigh: local notes
The wider area around Farleigh has a long history of building, with Addington Palace about 2.2 miles north. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. 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.
Trees in and around Ledgers Wood shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters. If you own a rental within reach of Upper Warlingham station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away.

What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
Survey packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages

- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets

- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access

Common roof problems in Farleigh
Landlords and managing agents book reports to keep a record for owners and insurers. It helps when explaining damage to a building owner or insurer.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
If you look after a building such as Meridian High School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

What happens on the day
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Older rural homes like those around Farleigh can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- You let us know 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.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Before the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Advice
Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Don’t go onto the roof to take pictures
- Check how your policy defines a storm
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.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
