Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Moorhouse Bank
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Falling branches can cause damage too. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. We survey flashings, chimney stacks and ridges and hips, and people most frequently book us about damaged ridges and hips and flat roof edges peeled back.
Many London homes are well over a century old and their roofs have been patched more than once, so a new leak can be the latest sign of wear rather than a single event. Insurers typically exclude wear and tear, so it is useful to know whether damage is old or new. A careful look in Moorhouse Bank tells the two apart where the evidence allows. A written record with photos helps you explain what was found to whoever deals with it next.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

What we’re asked to look at in Moorhouse Bank
Falling trees and branches can damage roofs in high winds. The report shows what was hit and the damage caused, backed up with photos.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
Take a building like Oxted School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

What affects the price in Moorhouse Bank
We confirm the price for your survey before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- The size of the roof
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Helping us price your survey
What helps most when you contact us:
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
If you are buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you’re ready.
Checking the roof from ground level
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
For landlords and managing agents
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out in order of urgency where relevant, which helps when budgeting.
We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. A report with photographs gives you a clear record of the roof.
How the survey works
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. In Moorhouse Bank, visits are available on weekdays and at weekends. London parking is frequently by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you, and to clear a path to the loft hatch. Upstairs rooms at the back are useful too, as they often give the best view of a rear addition.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Getting ready for the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
How to book
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Useful tips for Moorhouse Bank property owners
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
Moorhouse Bank questions
Do you carry out roof surveys in Moorhouse Bank?
Yes, Moorhouse Bank is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Moorhouse Bank as anywhere else.
Is parking a problem for a survey in Moorhouse Bank?
Usually it is manageable with a little notice. Let us know the parking rules on your street and we will work around them.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
What if the roof was already worn?
Wear and tear is not normally covered. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. Your insurer decides the claim.
