Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Peasmarsh
Wear and tear is usually excluded from home insurance. So it matters whether the damage came from the storm or from a roof that was already worn. We note signs of each: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems such as corroded nails or worn mortar. We give an honest view of what we see. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. We survey chimney stacks, gutters and fascias and slate and tile slopes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are stains appearing after strong winds and loose or torn flashings.
Being in a small place like Peasmarsh makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. It is useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
The report is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Peasmarsh
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed ahead of time. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Peasmarsh. To discuss a property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where applicable. The survey typically takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Older rural homes like those around Peasmarsh can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- You tell us when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the loft space where it is safe.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Check pets are kept safely away

Peasmarsh roofs and the weather
In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. The wider area around Peasmarsh has a long history of building, with Loseley Park about 1.1 miles north-west. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you live near a park such as Shalford Mill, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys. Landlords with a home close to Shalford station may find that finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. If you live in an older home near St Michael, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
Peasmarsh is about 3 miles south of Guildford, in Surrey. Peasmarsh gets the same service as everywhere else we work: a close look at what can be seen safely, photographs and a clear written report. Across Surrey, we cover Peasmarsh.

Questions from Peasmarsh
Do you cover Peasmarsh?
Yes, Peasmarsh is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details.
Will you come out to Peasmarsh?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. An independent report can add to your evidence, but we cannot say how it will turn out.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
How long will you be at the property?
Expect it to take between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. You will then get the report by email.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
We cannot say whether a claim will be paid. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.

What affects the price in Peasmarsh
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Helping us price your survey
A little information up front helps. It’s useful to include:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- The address and postcode of the property
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
Getting a price is simple: just call 07833 053749 or email us, let us know about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Why get it checked now?
A few slipped slates can soon lead to wet timbers. Acting quickly usually means less damage overall. Around Peasmarsh, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

Tips that help
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Don’t go onto the roof to take pictures
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Check how your policy defines a storm
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
