Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Meadvale
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from the ground, from windows and higher points, from the roof space and from the roof where it is safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. If part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. You get a written report with photographs to give to your insurer. We survey flashings, slate and tile slopes and flat roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are gaps where slates or tiles have gone and damaged ridges and hips.
Older cottages and houses around Meadvale may have roofs with little or no underlay. Once the slates or tiles let water past, there’s little to stop it reaching the ceiling. Whether it’s long-term wear or recent damage makes a difference to what happens next. In the loft, damp battens or wet insulation are often the first clues.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photograph. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Meadvale
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
If you live near a park like Earlswood Common, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys. Take a building like Reigate School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. For landlords with property near Earlswood (Surrey) station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

How the survey works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Being in a smaller place like Meadvale doesn’t change how the visit works: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. It is useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We view the roof from wherever it can safely be seen, including the loft where there’s access.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- The findings are written up with photographs for you to share with your insurer.
How to prepare
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Tell us about parking before the day
How to book
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.

FAQs for Meadvale
Do you carry out roof surveys in Meadvale?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Meadvale as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you cover smaller places like Meadvale?
Yes, Meadvale is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Safely, from the ground or a window. Don’t use a ladder or go onto the roof. Binoculars can help you see damage from below and we’ll inspect the rest from safe positions.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys on any day of the week. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
How long does the survey take?
It typically takes an hour or two at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. The report follows by email.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
What happens if roof problems are left?
The sooner the damage is recorded, the clearer the evidence. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. Blocked gutters on homes around Meadvale overflow and soak walls, particularly where trees overhang. It’s easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.

How the survey changes by roof type
Lead flashings
When flashings lift, water can get behind them. The report records the flashing and any damp inside.
Ridge and hip tiles
Water can get in where ridge tiles have moved. Each one is recorded with photos.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Meadvale
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the addresses.
Can I check my roof myself?
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
