About our storm damage roof report in Kingswood
High winds usually affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Falling branches can cause damage too. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. We survey flashings, ridges and hips and flat roofs, and people most frequently book us about roofs hit by falling trees and slates and tiles blown off the roof.
In older homes around places like Kingswood, the underlay may be old bitumen felt, or there may be none at all. Once the slates or tiles let water past, there’s little to stop it reaching the ceiling. Whether it is long-term wear or recent damage makes a difference to what happens next. Wet battens and insulation in the loft are frequently the first clue.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Storm damage roof reports around Kingswood
In Surrey, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. About 4.6 miles north lies Fitznells Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Kingswood has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
Living close to Eyhurst Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. For businesses in and around places such as The Ashley Centre, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down. The streets around a church such as Church of St Andrew are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

Pots, cowls and aerials on chimneys can be damaged or dislodged in a storm. We record any damage we can see.

Strong gusts can lift and break tiles. We record which are damaged and where.
Tips from our surveys
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Don’t go onto the roof to take pictures
You get the report by email and pass it to your insurer yourself. We do not deal with the insurer on your behalf.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.

Kingswood: your questions answered
Is my home in Kingswood listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Will you come out to Kingswood?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Insurers usually exclude wear and tear. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. Your insurer decides the claim.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Kingswood
We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. A photo-illustrated written report gives you a clear record of the roof, useful for planning maintenance.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photographs included.
How the survey works
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Kingswood, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. The loft, where there is safe access, completes the picture.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
