Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Peper Harow
The Financial Ombudsman looks at three things when it considers a storm damage complaint: whether there were storm conditions around the date, whether the damage fits a storm, and whether the storm was the main cause. We record what the roof shows about the damage and its likely cause. Weather records for the date are for you or your insurer to check. If you’ve noticed lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and slates and tiles blown off the roof, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Being in a small place like Peper Harow makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It is useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Peper Harow
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
Peper Harow: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Peper Harow?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.

My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Start by complaining to the insurer. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that does not resolve it. The Ombudsman looks at whether there were storm conditions, whether the damage fits a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
Each policy has its own definition. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but your policy sets the actual test.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
How long will you be at the property?
It typically takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. You’ll then get the report by email, on the timescale of your package.
How it works
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. Most visits take an hour or two at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. Rural addresses near Peper Harow can be hard to find from a postcode alone, 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.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

DIY checks: what’s safe
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That is where a survey comes in.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Leaving storm damage can let water into the roof space and rooms below. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. Older and listed buildings around Peper Harow may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the exact price before booking.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Peper Harow
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. About 3 miles north lies Wanborough Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Peper Harow has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Anyone responsible for a site like St Mary's CofE Voluntary Controlled Infant School will know that water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. Take an older house close to Church of St Nicholas: water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. Living close to Elstead Group of Commons is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
