Storm damage roof report in Goldsworth Park
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: were there storm conditions on or around the date, is the damage consistent with a storm, and was the storm the main cause. Our report focuses on the second and third points. Weather records for the date are for you or your insurer to check. If you’re worried about new damp or leaks inside and damaged gutters and fascias, we can find out what’s behind it, on gutters and fascias, flashings and chimney stacks alike.
Chimney stacks on older houses around places like Goldsworth Park can let water in, through worn flaunching, failed pointing or lifted flashings. Damp on a chimney breast isn’t always rain from above, which is why it is worth tracing properly. The stack, its flashings and the loft space beside it are all worth checking.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Goldsworth Park?
When you claim, your insurer may ask for evidence of the damage and its cause. An independent report gives you a clear record to send. Your insurer still makes the decision.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Stains appearing after strong winds
Anyone responsible for a site like Goldsworth Primary School will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
What to check before booking
- What exactly goes into their report
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- How long the report takes to arrive

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Goldsworth Park
About 4.4 miles north-east lies Botleys Mansion, a reminder of how long the area around Goldsworth Park has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
Trees in and around Milford Green and Coxhill Green shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. Take an older house close to Church of St Andrew: lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Goldsworth Park
Is my home in Goldsworth Park listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is Goldsworth Park in the area you cover?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Goldsworth Park is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
That’s not something we can promise. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
It depends on your policy. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Your policy document will say.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Stay off the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
Prices for storm damage roof reports in Goldsworth Park
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets

- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we can help you choose.

When you call or email, these details help:
- What made you get in touch

- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- A decision on your insurance claim

The survey, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. It typically takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. A visit to Goldsworth Park is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed beforehand. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. Let us know about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We view the roof from wherever it can be seen safely, including the loft where there’s access.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
How to book
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you’re ready.

What you can safely check yourself
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
