About our storm damage roof report in Mayes Green
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We aren’t loss adjusters and cannot say whether a claim will be paid. If you’re worried about new damp or leaks inside and slipped or missing slates or tiles, we can find out what’s behind it.
Many homes in small places like Mayes Green face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, and recommendations are put with the most urgent first where relevant.

Can I check my roof myself?
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
What we can’t see
It helps to know what a survey will not do before booking:
- Negotiating a claim settlement
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
- A decision on your insurance claim
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer. The full list of what we check.
What we check
- Flashings
- Flat roofs
- Slate and tile slopes
- Ridges and hips
- Gutters and fascias
- Chimney stacks
When to book a survey in Mayes Green
Storms don’t only affect pitched roofs. Coverings can tear or peel back at the edges, and water can pond where outlets are blocked. We record what we find on flat and pitched roofs alike.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- New damp or leaks inside
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Damaged pots on the stack
If you own a rental within reach of Ockley station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
What to check before booking
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- How long the report takes to arrive
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Mayes Green
If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. 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. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
If you live in an older home near Church of St John the Baptist, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. Living close to Wallis Wood is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

Practical tips
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
If anything in the report isn’t clear, just ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
How it works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. You are welcome to ask questions while we’re there. For a village or hamlet like Mayes Green, the journey is planned in advance: 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 is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
