How a storm damage roof report works in Langley Vale
High winds typically affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Falling branches can cause damage too. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. If you’ve noticed loose or torn flashings and damaged flat roof membrane, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Many homes in small places like Langley Vale face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.

Leaks and storm damage in Langley Vale
Fitznells Manor, about 3.2 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Langley Vale. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
Anyone responsible for a site like The Vale 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 St Stephen On The Downs, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

Before and after the survey
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
You will need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.

Signs worth acting on include:
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Water coming in after the storm

Langley Vale: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Langley Vale is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Langley Vale?
Yes, Langley Vale is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Langley Vale?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we will recommend the right survey. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the survey around it.
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.
How long will you be at the property?
It typically takes about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The written report follows by email.
