Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Laleham
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. It is yours to pass to your insurer. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We are not loss adjusters, and we can’t tell you whether a claim will succeed. If you’ve noticed damaged flat roof membrane and flashings pulled away from walls or stacks, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Around Laleham, chimneys on older homes are a common source of leaks, through worn flaunching, failed pointing or lifted flashings. Damp on a chimney breast is not always rain from above, which is why it’s worth tracing properly. It’s worth looking at the stack from outside and at the timbers beside it in the loft.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

Roof by roof
Slate roofs
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, but the nails often fail first. We check whether slipped slates suggest storm damage, older wear or both.
Clay and concrete tiles
Older tiles held only by nibs, without nails or clips, can lift more easily. We record what we can see of the fixings.
Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from a storm damage roof report starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
The report is emailed to you, and you decide what to send to your insurer. It is your record to use.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.

What else we do in Laleham
The survey, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit typically takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. A visit to a smaller place like Laleham is no different on the day: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- You let us know 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.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
How to prepare
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Find any records of previous roof work
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent

Advice
Laleham: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in Laleham?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, and Laleham is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property.
Will you come out to Laleham?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is not typically covered. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. It does not include repair costs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for those.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. If it’s safe, photograph the damage before it is covered. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
When to book a survey in Laleham
Some people book because a claim has been questioned. An independent report gives you another view of the roof. What happens next is up to the insurer.
Problems we come across often include:
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
Anyone responsible for a site like Laleham CofE VA Primary School will know that water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
Questions to ask before booking
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- What insurance they carry
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
