Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Mindenhurst
Will you come out to Mindenhurst?
Yes, Mindenhurst is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Mindenhurst?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Mindenhurst is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
Each policy has its own definition. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but your policy sets the actual test.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Wear and tear is not normally covered. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. Your insurer decides the claim.
How long does the survey take?
It typically takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. The written report follows by email.
Does someone need to be in?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We will talk about access as you book.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We are not loss adjusters and do not act for you with the insurer. We provide an independent record of the roof, which you can pass to your insurer.
Storm damage roof report in Mindenhurst
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. Falling branches can cause damage too. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. We survey gutters and fascias, chimney stacks and flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are new damp or leaks inside and gutters pulled loose in the wind.
In a village or hamlet like Mindenhurst, older cottages and farmhouses frequently have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you are thinking of an insurance claim. We look at what can be seen safely and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

For landlords and managing agents
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
With a portfolio of properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To discuss a number of properties, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Mindenhurst
Others book after an insurer has queried a claim. An independent report gives you another view of the roof. We cannot say whether the decision will change.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Water coming in after the storm
- Damaged gutters and fascias
If you own a rental within reach of Farnborough North station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
Before you book anyone
- What the survey won’t cover
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- How long the report takes to arrive

What we look for on each type of roof
Slate roofs
In high winds, slates can slip or go, frequently where nails have rusted. Our report notes moved slates and any sign of older corrosion.
Chimney stacks
Stacks with existing defects tend to suffer more in storms. We record both the storm damage and the older wear.
What affects the price in Mindenhurst
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.
Helping us price your survey
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, it helps to mention:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Where the property is, with the postcode
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.
Leaks and storm damage in Mindenhurst
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand. Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. 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 look after a building such as Sandringham Infant & Nursery School, a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside. If you live near a park such as Frimley Lodge Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.

What happens on the day
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a hamlet or village like Mindenhurst, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- 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
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Tell us where we can park nearby
