Storm damage roof report in Oxshott: what you get
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Take photos from ground level or from windows, and don’t climb onto the roof. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. We’re often asked to look into new damp or leaks inside and torn or lifted flat roof coverings, on flashings, chimney stacks and flat roofs.
In older homes around places like Oxshott, 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. Whether it’s long-term wear or recent damage makes a difference to what happens next. In the loft, damp battens or wet insulation are frequently the first clues.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

How it works
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey typically takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Oxshott is booked with the forecast in mind: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from the ground and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We check the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
How to prepare
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Let us know where we can park nearby

When to book a survey in Oxshott
Flat roofs can be damaged too. Coverings can tear or peel back at the edges, and water can pond where outlets are blocked. We record what we find on flat and pitched roofs alike.
People typically book a survey when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Flat roof edges peeled back
Trees in and around Claygate Common shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
Leave it or get it looked at?
A few slipped slates can soon lead to wet timbers. Acting quickly usually means less damage overall. On a bungalow or cottage around Oxshott, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both inc. VAT. You will know the price for your roof before booking.

Common questions in Oxshott
Will you come out to Oxshott?
Yes. Oxshott is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How do I find out if my home in Oxshott is listed?
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, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the survey around it.
What if the roof was already worn?
Wear and tear is not normally covered. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. Your insurer decides the claim.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
Do you look in the roof space?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only if it’s safe. We inspect whatever is safely visible: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
Tips that help
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Photograph damage inside the house too
The report is emailed to you, and you decide what to send to your insurer. We don’t deal with the insurer on your behalf.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.

Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.

The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
