Peaslake questions
Is Peaslake within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Peaslake?
Yes, Peaslake is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Peaslake
High winds typically 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. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. Common reasons to book are flat roof edges peeled back and gaps where slates or tiles have gone, on chimney stacks, flashings and flat roofs.
Many homes in small places like Peaslake face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

How we price storm damage roof reports
All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both with VAT included. We confirm the price for your survey before you book.
Getting in touch
A few details help us suggest the right survey and price. When you get in touch, it’s useful to mention:
- When you need the report by
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- What kind of property and roof it is
For a price for storm damage roof reports in Peaslake, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. The address, the type of property and what you want to find out help us price the survey accurately.
When you need someone else
We only report whatever is safely visible on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Areas we can’t see safely
- A decision on your insurance claim
- Negotiating a claim settlement

What happens if roof problems are left?
With an independent report, you have something specific to show your insurer. It sets out what we found and the likely cause, alongside any photos you took yourself. Older cottages and farmhouses around Peaslake can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Why book us in Peaslake
- Over 5,000 surveys carried out
- PI and public liability insurance
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Package prices that include VAT

Can I check my roof myself?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Tips from our surveys
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
How it works
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a hamlet or village like Peaslake, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We check the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
Book a survey
If you are buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you’re ready.

Leaks and storm damage in Peaslake
The wider area around Peaslake has a long history of building, with Chilworth Manor about 4.2 miles north-west. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mark, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. Landlords with a home close to Gomshall station may find that tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
