Why get it checked now?
Knowing whether older wear played a part helps you understand your position. We record storm damage and older defects, so there are no surprises later. With lower homes, common in places like Grayshott, there is little between a roof defect and the ceiling, so a small leak can mark a ceiling within a few storms. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.

Storm damage roof report in Grayshott: what you get
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We’re not loss adjusters and cannot tell you if your claim will succeed. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. We survey slate and tile slopes, flashings and ridges and hips, and common reasons people get in touch are roofs hit by falling trees and flat roof edges peeled back.
Chimney stacks on older houses around places like Grayshott 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’s worth tracing properly. The stack, its flashings and the loft space beside it are all worth checking.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Storm damage roof reports in Grayshott: local notes
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. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand.
For landlords with property near Haslemere station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. Take a building like Grayshott Church of England Controlled Primary School: a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.

FAQs for Grayshott
Do you cover Grayshott?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Grayshott is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Is Grayshott within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
What does a storm damage report cost?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs aren’t part of the report.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
How long will you be at the property?
Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. The report follows by email.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is typically excluded from home insurance. We note both storm damage and older defects, so you know what the roof shows. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
What a storm damage roof report does not cover
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Keep these in mind:
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
- A price for the repairs
- Negotiating a claim settlement
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking. The full list of what we check.

- The kind of building and roof involved
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access

Look out for signs like these:
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Stains appearing after strong winds
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Luke, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

- What happens after the report arrives

- How soon the report will arrive
