What we do, step by step
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. In a smaller place like Hinchley Wood, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We view the roof from wherever it can safely be seen, including the loft where there’s access.
- The damage is recorded with photos, area by area.
- We check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Find any records of previous roof work

Storm damage roof report in Hinchley Wood
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. Our report records both: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems like corroded nails or worn mortar. We describe what we see, whichever way it points. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. Common reasons to book are flat roof edges peeled back and damaged pots on the stack, on chimney stacks, slate and tile slopes and gutters and fascias.
In a smaller place like Hinchley Wood, some roofs face open ground, so wind and driving rain find any weakness in ridges, verges and flashings. A leak that only appears in certain weather often points to an exposed detail. It’s useful to know when and where the water appears. Gutters and downpipes on the exposed side are worth a look as well.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

FAQs for Hinchley Wood
Will you come out to Hinchley Wood?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Hinchley Wood in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you as you book.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
Only your insurer can decide that. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We are not loss adjusters, and we do not negotiate claims. We provide an independent record of the roof for you to send to your insurer.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We check everything that can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
What we look for on each type of roof
Chimney stacks
Pots, cowls and aerials on chimneys can be damaged or dislodged in a storm. We record any damage we can see.
Flat roof coverings
Debris blown onto a flat roof can puncture the covering or block outlets. We record what we find.
What we’re asked to look at in Hinchley Wood
Landlords and building managers frequently need a written record after a storm. The report can be shared with owners, tenants or insurers.
Look out for signs like these:
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
If you live near a park such as Stokes Field, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys.

Wind, rain and roofs in Hinchley Wood
Historic houses like Hampton Court Palace, about 1.9 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Hinchley Wood goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed.
Anyone responsible for a site like Hinchley Wood Primary School will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. If you live in an older home near Hinchley Wood Church, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.
