Practical tips
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
You’ll need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. They can use our report to see what needs doing.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
Storm damage roof report in Keeper's Corner
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. It sets out what is damaged, with photos, and what we think the likely cause is. It’s yours to pass to your insurer. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We are not loss adjusters and cannot say whether a claim will be paid. Typical surveys look at broken or displaced guttering and ridge tiles that have come loose, on chimney stacks, ridges and hips and slate and tile slopes.
In a village or hamlet like Keeper's Corner, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
To price your survey, we check:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- How big the roof is
- House, block, shop or office
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Booking your survey
We will normally ask about:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- The property’s address and postcode
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.
Checking the roof from the ground
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book and it will help the survey.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.

How it works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Around Keeper's Corner, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Jot down any questions you want answered
Book a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from the ground or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Storm damage roof reports in Keeper's Corner: local notes
In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. About 4.8 miles south-east lies Saint Hill Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Keeper's Corner has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Copthorne CofE Junior School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. If you let a flat or house near Gatwick Airport station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Bartholomew, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

Keeper's Corner questions
How do I find out if my home in Keeper's Corner is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you cover smaller places like Keeper's Corner?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.

Simply phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.

Safely, from the ground or a window. Don’t use a ladder or go onto the roof. Binoculars can help you see damage from below, and we’ll record the rest.

Roof by roof
Slate roofs
Slates often outlast the nails that hold them. We check whether slipped slates suggest storm damage, older wear or both.
Ridge and hip tiles
Worn mortar under ridge tiles can let them lift in a storm. We note whether the mortar looks recently broken or long worn.
