Storm Damage Roof Report in Milford
A careful look at the roof at your property in Milford, with photos and a written report.
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Stains appearing after strong winds
Should I look at the roof myself first?
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
Storm damage roof report in Milford: 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. Our report focuses on the second and third points. Weather records for the date are for you or your insurer to check. If you are worried about water coming in after the storm and loose or broken chimney pots and cowls, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Older cottages and houses around Milford 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. Finding where it gets in, and whether it’s old wear or new damage, decides what comes next. In the loft, damp battens or wet insulation are frequently the first clues.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

How it works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take between one and two hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Parking around Milford is typically easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from ground level, and the loft shows the rest, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where it applies.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We look at the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- 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.
Before the survey
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Milford: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in Milford?
Yes, Milford is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and the South East. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Will you come out to Milford?
Yes, Milford is covered. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Safely, from the ground or a window. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. With binoculars, you can see a lot from ground level and we’ll inspect the rest from safe positions.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Our reports start from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. Repair costs aren’t part of the report.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the building owner or managing agent. Let us know about it when you book and we will plan the survey around it.
Storm damage roof reports around Milford
About 3.5 miles north-east lies Loseley Park, a reminder of how long the area around Milford has been built on. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. 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 you let a flat or house near Milford (Surrey) station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. The streets around a church like St John the Evangelist's Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

When you need someone else
Our survey isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
- A price for the repairs
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book. What our survey covers.
What we check
- Flashings
- Ridges and hips
- Slate and tile slopes
- Chimney stacks
- Gutters and fascias
- Flat roofs
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Milford?
Flat roofs can be damaged too. Wind can lift edges and tear coverings, and blocked outlets can leave water ponding after heavy rain. We record what we find on flat and pitched roofs alike.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- New damp or leaks inside
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
If you look after a building such as Milford School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
Questions to ask before booking
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- What they will not be able to tell you
- How soon the report will arrive
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
What a survey costs
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The size of the roof
- Building height and the viewpoints available
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
What to tell us when you contact us
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- The kind of building and roof involved
