Common questions in Green Cross
Is Green Cross in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Green Cross as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How do I find out if my home in Green Cross is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Only from ground level or from windows. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. With binoculars, you can see a lot from ground level and we’ll inspect the rest from safe positions.
Do you look in the loft space?
Typically, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
Does someone need to be in?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when you book.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Storm damage roof report in Green Cross: what you get
Our storm damage report starts from £150. It is a written report with photos, sent by email. It is not a repair quote and doesn’t include repair costs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. We survey gutters and fascias, flat roofs and chimney stacks, and people most often book us about gaps where slates or tiles have gone and roofs hit by falling trees.
For a small place like Green Cross, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

For landlords and managing agents
Letting agents and landlords in Green Cross book surveys as well as homeowners. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the roof.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
Green Cross roofs and the weather
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
Take a building like St John's CofE Aided Infant School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. Trees in and around The Flashes shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near St John the Evangelist, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.
Green Cross is about 5 miles south of Farnham, in Surrey. Green Cross is part of the area we cover as part of our work across London and the South East. Green Cross is one of the places in Surrey where we work. There is also a page for Guildford.

Useful tips for Green Cross property owners
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Take photos from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.

What a survey costs
To price your survey, we check:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Roof area
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.
Helping us price your survey
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Where the property is, with the postcode
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email, tell us about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
What we do, step by step
The visit has one job: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It normally takes between one and two hours at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In a small place like Green Cross, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- 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.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before the survey
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
Arrange a survey
We confirm the price for the job before you book, so you know the cost up front. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
