About our storm damage roof report in Mimbridge
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. We survey slate and tile slopes, chimney stacks and ridges and hips, and people most often book us about torn or lifted flat roof coverings and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind.
Being in a small place like Mimbridge makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. It’s useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Storm damage roof reports in Mimbridge: local notes
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. Botleys Mansion, about 3.1 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Mimbridge. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Anyone responsible for a site like Woking High School will know that a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside. If you live in an older home near Church of St Lawrence, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

Before and after the survey
Getting the most from a storm damage roof report starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Photograph damage inside the house too
If you’re unhappy with how your insurer handles the claim, you can complain to them first. After that, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. They can damage the roof in high winds.
What we do, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. It typically takes between one and two hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a hamlet or village like Mimbridge, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We check the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Before the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Mimbridge: your questions answered
Is my home in Mimbridge listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Is Mimbridge in the area you cover?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Mimbridge is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How long will you be at the property?
Most surveys take between one and two hours for a house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. The report follows by email.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
Only your insurer can decide that. We record the damage, with photos and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
What you can safely check yourself
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That’s where a survey comes in.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in Mimbridge book surveys as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photos, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Mimbridge?
Storms do not 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.
Common reasons to book include:
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Water coming in after the storm
For landlords with property near Woking station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away.
Before you book anyone
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Are they insured for the work?
- Their report turnaround times
