Peasemore Storm Damage Roof Report
A careful look at the roof at your property in Peasemore, with photographs and a written report.
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
Why get it checked now?
It is useful to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

How a storm damage roof report works in Peasemore
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Take photos from ground level or from windows, and do not 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. Keep receipts for any emergency work. Typical surveys look at slipped or missing slates or tiles and torn or lifted flat roof coverings, across flat roofs, gutters and fascias and ridges and hips.
In a village or hamlet like Peasemore, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. We look at whatever is safely visible and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photo. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Useful tips for Peasemore property owners
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
If anything in the report isn’t clear, just ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. With binoculars, you can often spot problems without climbing. Don’t go up a ladder to look.
How the survey works
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Around Peasemore, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
How to prepare
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

Common questions in Peasemore
Do you cover smaller places like Peasemore?
Yes, Peasemore is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Peasemore?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Peasemore is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the property.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
Start by complaining to the insurer. If it is not resolved, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help. The Ombudsman looks at whether there were storm conditions, whether the damage fits a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
When you need someone else
This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Your insurer’s view of the claim
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
- A price for the repairs
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll tell you before booking. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
What this survey covers
- Gutters and fascias

Peasemore roofs and the weather
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your 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, so the council is the place to ask.
Whatever the street in Peasemore, a roof costs least to look after when faults are caught early. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Barnabas, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
