About our storm damage roof report in Little London
After a storm, it helps to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We’re not loss adjusters and can’t tell you if your claim will succeed. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. If you’re worried about damaged gutters and fascias and torn or lifted flat roof coverings, we can find out what’s behind it, on ridges and hips, flat roofs and flashings alike.
Somewhere as small as Little London, older roofs have often been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Common roof problems in Little London
A storm often finds a roof’s existing weak spots. Nail fatigue, eroded ridge mortar and tired flashings can all fail in high winds. We record recent damage alongside older defects.
Problems we come across often include:
- Water coming in after the storm
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
If you own a rental within reach of Gomshall station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
What to check before booking
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
Why get it checked now?
Before temporary repairs, photograph the damage from ground level if it’s safe. Those photos show the damage as it was. For an older or listed building in a place like Little London, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.
What you get with us
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- More than 20 years surveying roofs
- Plain-English reports with photos
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
What we do, step by step
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Somewhere like Little London needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the roof space where it is safe.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached

Advice
Prices for storm damage roof reports in Little London
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium

- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Getting in touch
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date

FAQs for Little London
Is Little London within the area you cover?
Yes, Little London is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Do you cover Little London?
Yes, Little London is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
It depends on your policy. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Your policy document will say.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We inspect what can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. 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.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. We can record the damage in our report.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access; we’ll agree the details when you book.

Storm damage roof reports in Little London: local notes
About 2.5 miles west lies Chilworth Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Little London has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
Trees in and around Colekitchen Down shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. Take a building like Shere CofE Aided Infant School: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

Different roofs, different checks
Slate roofs
In high winds, slates can slip or go, frequently where nails have rusted. We record which slates have moved and any signs of older nail fatigue.
Flat roof coverings
Edge trims and laps are often where flat roof coverings start to peel back. The report notes signs of recent damage and older wear.
