Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Lower Green
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. Our report records both: recent damage alongside any older defects, like nail fatigue on slates or eroded pointing. We give an honest view of what we see. Your insurer then decides how its policy applies. We survey flat roofs, ridges and hips and slate and tile slopes, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are slipped or missing slates or tiles and damage from fallen branches or debris.
Many homes in small places like Lower Green face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

How the survey works
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. It usually takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Older roofs in small places like Lower Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- The damage is recorded with photos, area by area.
- We check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Practical tips
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Don’t go onto the roof to take pictures
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. You will have your own independent record to refer to.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Lower Green
Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. Historic houses such as Hampton Court Palace, about 1.9 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Lower Green goes. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you own a rental within reach of Esher station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

Lower Green questions
How do I find out if my home in Lower Green is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you cover Lower Green?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Lower Green as anywhere else.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Typically, if there is one and it can be reached safely. The roof space can show things the outside can’t, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Insurers usually exclude wear and tear. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Let us know about it when you book and we will explain what’s needed.
When to book a survey in Lower Green
Branches and trees frequently come down on roofs during storms. The report shows what was hit and the damage caused, with photos.
Look out for signs like these:
- Lead lifted at abutments
- New damp or leaks inside
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Damaged pots on the stack
For businesses in and around places such as Bentall Centre, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Which limits apply to the survey
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
