Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Mickleham
Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies by policy. Check your own policy wording. We don’t decide whether a storm met that test. We record the damage and what seems to have caused it. The report includes photographs of each area of damage, and you decide what to send. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We’re frequently asked to look into water coming in after the storm and ridge tiles that have come loose, on slate and tile slopes, flashings and chimney stacks.
For a small place like Mickleham, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

Questions from Mickleham
Is my home in Mickleham listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is Mickleham within the area you cover?
Yes, Mickleham is covered. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What’s the best way to book?
Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Only from the ground or from windows. Do not use a ladder or go onto the roof. With binoculars, you can see a lot from ground level, and we’ll record the rest.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
What if the roof was already worn?
Wear and tear is usually excluded from home insurance. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so it is clear what we found. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
Different roofs, different checks
Clay and concrete tiles
Broken or missing tiles leave the underlay exposed to rain. Each gap is recorded with a photo.
Lead flashings
When flashings lift, water can get behind them. We note where this has happened and any damp inside.
How it works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit normally takes an hour or two for a house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Cottages and farmhouses around Mickleham often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- 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
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
How to book
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Before and after the survey
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- File receipts for anything you pay for
You get the report by email and pass it to your insurer yourself. It’s your record to use.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Don’t go up a ladder to look.
Storm damage roof reports around Mickleham
Historic houses like Polesden Lacey, about 2.4 miles west, show how far back building in the area around Mickleham goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. 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. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Michael, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. If you look after a building like St Michael's CofE Aided Infant School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
