Storm damage roof report in Old Malden: what you get
Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies by policy. Check your own policy wording. Whether the weather met it is for your insurer. Our part is recording the damage to your roof and its likely cause. The report includes photographs of each area of damage, and you decide what to send. The claim decision rests with your insurer. We survey gutters and fascias, flat roofs and ridges and hips, and common reasons people get in touch are gutters pulled loose in the wind and loose or torn flashings.
In older homes around places like Old Malden, the underlay may be old bitumen felt, or there may be none at all. Without a sound underlay, any gap in the coverings lets water straight through. Finding where it gets in, and whether it’s old wear or new damage, decides what comes next. In the loft, damp battens or wet insulation are often the first clues.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Old Malden
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier.
When to book a survey in Old Malden
Strong winds lift loose or poorly fixed slates and tiles, ridge pieces and flashings. Driving rain then gets in through the gaps. Most people book a report soon after a storm, when they’ve seen damage or water has come in.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
If you look after a building like Knollmead Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
Before you book anyone
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- How long the report takes to arrive
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- What they won’t be able to tell you
What a survey costs
Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Height and safe access
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both including VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking.
Helping us price your survey
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. It’s enough to tell us:
- Anything about access we should know
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- The property’s address and postcode
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We’ll confirm the price before you book.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Storm damage roof reports around Old Malden
About 1.8 miles south-east lies Fitznells Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Old Malden has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
Shop and office owners around Bentall Centre may find that a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters. Landlords with a home close to Tolworth station may find that a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away.

Common questions in Old Malden
Is Old Malden in the area you cover?
Yes, Old Malden is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Old Malden as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is my home in Old Malden listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Please don’t climb onto the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Our reports start from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. The report does not include repair costs.
How long will you be at the property?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The written report follows by email.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Old Malden?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Different roofs, different checks
Chimney stacks
Wind can pull the flashings away from a chimney. We photograph any we find.
Slate roofs
Slates can slip or blow off in a storm, particularly where the nails have corroded. Our report notes moved slates and any sign of older corrosion.
How the survey works
We look at the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the roof space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. All in, the survey normally takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Parking around Old Malden is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from the ground, with the loft showing the underside.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Getting ready for the survey
