How a storm damage roof report works in Longcross
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. We note signs of each: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems such as corroded nails or worn mortar. We give an honest view of what we see. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. If you’ve noticed damaged gutters and fascias and new damp or leaks inside, we can find out what’s behind it.
Being in a small place like Longcross makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Why get it checked now?
Leaving storm damage can let water into the loft space and rooms below. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. Emergency temporary protection should be arranged with a roofer. Around Longcross, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both including VAT. You’ll know the price for the job before booking.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Longcross
Botleys Mansion, about 2.3 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Longcross. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. 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.
The streets around a church such as Longcross Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. Homes near green spaces such as Gracious Pond can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

What we are asked to look at in Longcross
Landlords and building managers often need a written record after a storm. The report can be shared with owners, tenants or insurers.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Damaged gutters and fascias
If you let a flat or house near Longcross station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
What to check before booking
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- When you’ll get the report
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Landlords, agents and building managers in Longcross and across Surrey can book any of our surveys. For a price for a let property or a block, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Can I check my roof myself?
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Longcross questions
Will you come out to Longcross?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How do I find out if my home in Longcross is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is normally excluded from home insurance. We note both storm damage and older defects, so it is clear what we found. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It depends on your policy. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Check your policy wording.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
We cannot say whether a claim will be paid. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
What happens on the day
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Around Longcross, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- 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 photos.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
