Rented homes, blocks and businesses
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.
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 survey around it.
How a storm damage roof report works in Nutfield
Our storm damage report starts from £150. It’s a written report with photos, sent by email. It does not price the repairs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. If you’ve noticed damaged pots on the stack and flashings pulled away from walls or stacks, we can find out what’s behind it.
Many homes in small places like Nutfield face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
If anything in the report isn’t clear, just ask us. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Nutfield
Is my home in Nutfield listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover Nutfield?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Nutfield is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details.
What if the roof was already worn?
Wear and tear is typically excluded from home insurance. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so it’s clear what we found. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Stay off the roof. Take photos from the ground or from windows. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We are not loss adjusters, and we don’t negotiate claims. We give you an independent report of the damage, which you can pass to your insurer.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you contact us and we will explain what’s needed.
Do you look in the roof space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.

- We view the roof from wherever it can safely be seen, including the loft where there is access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
