Storm damage roof report in Hamsey Green
The Financial Ombudsman looks at three things when it considers a storm damage complaint: whether there were storm conditions around the date, whether the damage fits a storm, and whether the storm was the main cause. Our report focuses on the second and third points. You or your insurer can check the weather for the date. If you are worried about cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind and holes or cracks caused by debris, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
For a small place like Hamsey Green, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Height and safe access
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The roof’s overall size
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
What to let us know when you get in touch
These details help when you contact us:
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We will explain the options and the price.
Checking the roof from the ground
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Why get it checked now?
Before temporary repairs, photograph the damage from the ground if it’s safe. Those photos show the damage as it was. For an older or listed building in a place like Hamsey Green, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

How the survey changes by roof type
Lead flashings
When flashings lift, water can get behind them. We note where this has happened and any damp inside.
Flat roof coverings
On flat roofs, storms can lift edges and tear membranes. Damage is photographed and described.
How the survey works
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. On timing, it usually takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. For a village or hamlet like Hamsey Green, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We look at the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Before the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

Before and after the survey
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
Once we have been, the findings are written up with photos. It covers the damage, its likely cause and any older defects. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
Keep records of roof work and surveys. They help show the roof was in good order before a storm.
Common questions in Hamsey Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hamsey Green?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. 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.
Is Hamsey Green in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. Our report then records the roof.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Safely, from ground level or a window. Don’t use a ladder or go onto the roof. With binoculars, you can see a lot from ground level and we will inspect the rest from safe positions.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Storm damage roof reports around Hamsey Green
About 2.8 miles north lies Addington Palace, a reminder of how long the area around Hamsey Green has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. 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.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St Antony, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. Living close to Blanchman's Farm is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Hamsey Green Primary, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
