Storm damage roof report in Lucas Green: what you get
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: were there storm conditions on or around the date, is the damage consistent with a storm, and was the storm 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. If you’ve noticed damaged pots on the stack and new damp or leaks inside, we can find out what’s behind it.
Many homes in small places like Lucas 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, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What we look for on each type of roof
Lead flashings
Old flashings that were already loose can give way in a storm. We record what looks recent and what looks older.
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles without fixings can move more easily in wind. We record what we can see of the fixings.
Questions from Lucas Green
Is my home in Lucas Green listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you cover smaller places like Lucas Green?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. 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 are storm damage reports priced?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. The report does not include repair costs.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
There is no single figure. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Your policy document will say.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.

Storm damage roof reports in Lucas Green: local notes
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your 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, so check with the council.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near The Peacocks, water through a ceiling can damage stock and close a sales floor, so the source needs finding fast. Landlords with a home close to Brookwood station may find that a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bisley CofE Primary School, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.

How it works
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Around Lucas Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
Booking a survey
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or use the contact form, and we will ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book and it will help the survey.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
