Storm damage roof report in Heath End
Wear and tear is typically excluded from home insurance. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. We note signs of each: recent damage alongside any older defects, like nail fatigue on slates or eroded pointing. We describe what we see, whichever way it points. Your insurer then decides how its policy applies. We survey ridges and hips, chimney stacks and gutters and fascias, and the problems we are asked to look at most are stains appearing after strong winds and gaps where slates or tiles have gone.
Somewhere as small as Heath End, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, particularly to an insurer. We check what can safely be seen and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Why it is worth a survey now in Heath End
Leaving storm damage can let water into the loft space and rooms below. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. Emergency temporary protection should be arranged with a roofer. For an older or listed building in a place like Heath End, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Every price we give includes VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the exact price before booking.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.

What we do, step by step
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take an hour or two for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Older roofs in small places like Heath End can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- 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.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Leave side gates unlocked

Advice
Common questions in Heath End
Do you cover Heath End?
Yes, Heath End is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will you come out to Heath End?
Yes, Heath End is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Stay off the roof. Take photos from the ground or from windows. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We aren’t loss adjusters and do not act for you with the insurer. We give you an independent report of the damage, which you can pass to your insurer.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed when booking.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. If it is safe, photograph the damage before it is covered. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. We note both storm damage and older defects, so you know what the roof shows. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.

What we look for on each type of roof

On flat roofs, storms can lift edges and tear membranes. We record any damage and where it is.
Ridge and hip tiles
A lifted ridge tile can let water into the roof. We photograph and describe the damage.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Heath End
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung 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. Historic houses such as Farnham Castle, about 1.4 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Heath End goes. 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.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Hart Shopping Centre, water through a ceiling can damage stock and close a sales floor, so the source needs finding fast. For an older house near a landmark such as St Mark the Evangelist Church, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. If you live near a park such as Weybourne LNR, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys.
