Wind, rain and roofs in Fernhurst
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. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. Cowdray House, about 4.3 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Fernhurst. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Take an older house close to The Parish Church of St Margaret: lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Fernhurst Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

About our storm damage roof report in Fernhurst
Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies by policy. Check your own policy wording. Whether the weather met it is for your insurer. We record the damage and what seems to have caused it. The report includes photos of each area of damage, and you decide what to send. The claim decision rests with your insurer. Common reasons to book are cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind and stains appearing after strong winds, on flashings, slate and tile slopes and chimney stacks.
Somewhere as small as Fernhurst, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. We check everything that’s safely in view and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Fernhurst: your questions answered
Is my home in Fernhurst listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you cover smaller places like Fernhurst?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Fernhurst?
To book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Just say which days work for you.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is typically excluded from home insurance. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so it’s clear what we found. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
How it works
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. The visit typically takes an hour or two for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Older rural homes like those around Fernhurst can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets in another room
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
Why get it checked now?
Many policies expect damage to be reported promptly. Check the wording and tell your insurer as soon as you can. Our report can then add a clear record. Older cottages and farmhouses around Fernhurst can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT.
