A careful look at the roof at your property in Nutcombe, with photographs and a written report.

For landlords and managing agents
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Tell us about it when you book and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time.
How a storm damage roof report works in Nutcombe
High winds normally affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. 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. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. Common reasons to book are cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind and damaged ridges and hips, on ridges and hips, slate and tile slopes and flashings.
For a small place like Nutcombe, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It helps 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.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Common questions in Nutcombe
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Nutcombe?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is Nutcombe in the area you cover?
Yes, Nutcombe is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
Only your insurer can decide that. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Nutcombe?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof. We survey on any day of the week.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
It depends on your policy. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Check your policy wording.

What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes about one to two hours at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Nutcombe often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Preparing for the visit
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
Getting a price
We confirm the price for the job before booking, so you know the cost up front. Our price is from £150, including VAT. To book, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Nutcombe
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so check with the council.
Landlords with a home close to Haslemere station may find that tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Luke, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. Anyone responsible for a site like Amesbury 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.

What this survey cannot tell you
This is not a RICS building 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
- The outcome of a claim
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
If you’re not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will give you a straight answer. The full list of what we check.
Roof types and parts we check
- Flashings
- Chimney stacks
- Gutters and fascias
- Ridges and hips
- Flat roofs
- Slate and tile slopes
What we look for on each type of roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles without fixings can move more easily in wind. We record what we can see of the fixings.
Lead flashings
When flashings lift, water can get behind them. We note where this has happened and any damp inside.
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, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
Why get it checked now?
With an independent report, you have something specific to show your insurer. It records the damage and what seems to have caused it, alongside any photos you took yourself. Around Nutcombe, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.
Why us?
- 20+ years’ experience
- Drones and thermal imaging where it applies
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed
