Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Henley Street
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there is access, and the roof itself where that’s safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. If part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. You get a report with photographs to give to your insurer. We survey flashings, slate and tile slopes and flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are stains appearing after strong winds and broken or displaced guttering.
In a village or hamlet like Henley Street, older cottages and farmhouses frequently have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. We check everything that’s safely in view and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Henley Street
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
What we’re asked to look at in Henley Street
A storm frequently finds a roof’s existing weak spots. Corroded nails on slate roofs, worn mortar on ridges and old flashings can all give way. Our report notes both the storm damage and any older wear.
People typically book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- New damp or leaks inside
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
Landlords with a home close to Sole Street station may find that a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Which limits apply to the survey
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs

What else we do in Henley Street
How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roof coverings
Debris blown onto a flat roof can puncture the covering or block outlets. We record what we find.
Chimney stacks
Older stacks with worn pointing or cracked flaunching are more likely to suffer. Our report notes recent damage and older defects.
What we can’t see
Every survey has limits, and it is better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- Negotiating a claim settlement
- Areas we can’t see safely
- Your insurer’s view of the claim
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will recommend the right survey before you book. The full list of what we check.
What we check
- Chimney stacks
- Flat roofs
- Slate and tile slopes
- Flashings
- Gutters and fascias
- Ridges and hips
What happens on the day
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Somewhere as small as Henley Street, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- 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.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Keep pets in another room
Booking a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you are ready.
Advice
Storm damage roof reports around Henley Street
The wider area around Henley Street has a long history of building, with Cobham College about 0.8 miles north. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Older houses across Kent frequently have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
Living close to Camer Park Country Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Cobham Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Henley Street
Is Henley Street within the area you cover?

Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
Raise it with your insurer first. If it isn’t resolved, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help. The Ombudsman asks about storm conditions, whether the damage is consistent with a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. If it is safe, photograph the damage before it is covered. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs aren’t part of the report.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
