Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Norney
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. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. We survey flashings, flat roofs and slate and tile slopes, and people most often book us about flashings pulled away from walls or stacks and damaged ridges and hips.
Being in a small place like Norney makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It is useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, 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.

Norney questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Norney?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is Norney in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How long is the visit?
It normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
There is no single figure. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Your policy document will say.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Complain to your insurer first. If you are still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. An independent report can add to your evidence, but we cannot say how it will turn out.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Norney
Some people book because a claim has been questioned. An independent report gives you another view of the roof. We can’t say whether the decision will change.
Common reasons to book include:
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Water coming in after the storm
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

Useful tips for Norney property owners
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
Once we have been, the findings are written up with photos. It covers the damage, its likely cause and any older defects. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
How it works
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. Older roofs in small places like Norney can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Norney
The wider area around Norney has a long history of building, with Loseley Park about 2.5 miles north-east. On older houses around here, roofs frequently 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. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
For landlords with property near Godalming station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. Anyone responsible for a site like St Mary's CofE Voluntary Controlled Infant School will know that water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
