Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Hoe
We inspect the roof from wherever it can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows and higher points, from the loft space and from the roof where it’s safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. We note any part we couldn’t see. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. We survey gutters and fascias, flashings and flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from fallen branches or debris and lead lifted at abutments.
Roofs in small places like Hoe frequently stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

What a storm damage roof report does not cover
This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
- Estimates of repair costs

What we are asked to look at in Hoe
Landlords and managing agents book reports to keep a record for owners and insurers. The report can be shared with owners, tenants or insurers.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Lead lifted at abutments
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mark, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
What to check before booking
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- Their track record with similar roofs
- What insurance they carry
- Is VAT included in the price?
How the survey changes by roof type
Slate roofs
After strong winds, we often see cracked and slipped slates. Each area is photographed and described.
Lead flashings
Flashings can lift or pull away from walls and chimneys in strong winds. We record which are loose or damaged.
What a survey costs
Survey packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The roof’s overall size
- Basic, Standard or Premium
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.
Getting in touch
These details help when you get in touch:
- What made you get in touch
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Anything about access we should know
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Hoe
Do you carry out roof surveys in Hoe?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, and Hoe is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Hoe?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We are not loss adjusters and don’t act for you with the insurer. We give you an independent report of the damage, which you can pass to your insurer.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
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.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
That’s not something we can promise. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
Storm damage roof reports around Hoe
About 4 miles north lies Hatchlands Park, a reminder of how long the area around Hoe has been built on. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Older houses across Surrey frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. 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’s detailed.
Trees in and around Colekitchen Down shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. If you own a rental within reach of Gomshall station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

What else we do in Hoe
Landlord and commercial surveys in Hoe
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
How it works
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. All told, expect between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a small place like Hoe, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
How to prepare
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
