Why act early in Mayford
Once the storm has passed, damage that looked minor can let water in for months. Getting it recorded and repaired sooner is usually better. Older cottages and farmhouses around Mayford can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.

Storm damage roof report in Mayford
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from the ground, from windows and higher points, from the loft space and from the roof where it is safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. If part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. If you’ve noticed lead lifted at abutments and roofs hit by falling trees, we can find out what’s behind it, on slate and tile slopes, ridges and hips and flashings alike.
Many homes in small places like Mayford 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.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Mayford
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. With Clandon Park about 4 miles south-east, Mayford sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you live near a park such as Mayford Meadows, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. If you let a flat or house near Worplesdon station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. If you look after a building such as Westfield Primary School, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.

How it works
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit usually takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Somewhere like Mayford needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- You let us know when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the roof space where it’s safe.

Advice
How we price storm damage roof reports
To price your survey, we check:
- Height and safe access
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Which survey package you book
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, inc. VAT, and we can help you choose.
Helping us price your survey
You do not need to know any roofing terms. It is enough to tell us:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Practical tips
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Take photos from the ground or a window, never by climbing
Once we have been, the findings are written up with photos. It sets out what is damaged, the likely cause and any signs of older wear. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
Checking the roof from the ground
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
