A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. Older cottages and farmhouses around Loxhill can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.

About our storm damage roof report in Loxhill
The Financial Ombudsman looks at three things when it considers a storm damage complaint: whether there were storm conditions around the date, whether the damage fits a storm, and whether the storm was the main cause. We record what the roof shows about the damage and its likely cause. You or your insurer can check the weather for the date. We survey chimney stacks, flashings and ridges and hips, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are loose or broken chimney pots and cowls and roofs hit by falling trees.
Somewhere as small as Loxhill, older roofs have often been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. We look at whatever is safely visible and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
We write the report in plain English, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

Loxhill: your questions answered
Is my home in Loxhill listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is 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.
Is Loxhill in the area you cover?
Yes, Loxhill is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Will you check the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The roof space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
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 will need a roofer’s quote for those.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
How long will you be at the property?
It typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. You will then get the report by email, on the timescale of your package.
When to book a survey in Loxhill
Some people book because a claim has been questioned. You get an independent record of what the roof shows. What happens next is up to the insurer.
Common reasons to book include:
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Lead lifted at abutments
If you let a flat or house near Witley station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
Questions to ask before booking
- Are they insured for the work?
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Whether VAT is added on top

What happens on the day
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there is safe access. In total, it takes about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Around Loxhill, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.

- We record and photograph the damage.

Storm damage roof reports in Loxhill: local notes
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. 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.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Peter, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
