About our storm damage roof report in Penny Pot
After a storm, safety comes first. Take photos from ground level or from windows, and don’t climb onto the roof. Emergency temporary protection, such as covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. If you’ve noticed roofs hit by falling trees and torn or lifted flat roof coverings, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a village or hamlet like Penny Pot, older cottages and farmhouses frequently 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, particularly to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Penny Pot
Do you cover smaller places like Penny Pot?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.

Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is not usually covered. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. Your insurer decides the claim.
What we do, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a small place like Penny Pot, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.

Storm damage roof reports in Penny Pot: local notes
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. With Botleys Mansion about 4.4 miles north-east, Penny Pot sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Lawrence, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. If you look after a building such as Holy Trinity CofE Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Penny Pot?
Others book after an insurer has queried a claim. You get an independent record of what the roof shows. What happens next is up to the insurer.
Look out for signs like these:
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Lead lifted at abutments

Roof by roof
Slate roofs
In high winds, slates can slip or go, often where nails have rusted. We record which slates have moved and any signs of older nail fatigue.
Flat roof coverings
Edge trims and laps are often where flat roof coverings start to peel back. We check whether the damage is recent or older.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Penny Pot
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.
