Storm damage roof report in Pitland Street
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. It is a report with photos, sent by email. It doesn’t price the repairs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for that. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. If you’ve noticed gaps where slates or tiles have gone and damage from fallen branches or debris, we can find out what’s behind it.
Somewhere as small as Pitland Street, older roofs have often been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
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.

Pitland Street questions
Is Pitland Street in the area you cover?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Pitland Street is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property.
Will you come out to Pitland Street?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Safely, from the ground or a window. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. Binoculars can help you see damage from below, and we’ll record the rest.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We check everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details when booking.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Before and after the survey
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Check how your policy defines a storm
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.
What a survey costs
To price your survey, we look at:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The size of the roof
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the price for the job before you book.
Getting in touch
What helps most when you contact us:
- The property’s address and postcode
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
Unsure which package suits your roof? It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will explain the options and the price.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Pitland Street
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing. 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.
Anyone responsible for a site like Belmont Prep 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. If you let a flat or house near Gomshall station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away.

When to book a survey in Pitland Street
Strong winds lift loose or poorly fixed slates and tiles, ridge pieces and flashings. Driving rain then gets in through the gaps. Most people book a report soon after a storm, when they’ve seen damage or water has come in.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- New damp or leaks inside
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
Living close to Wotton and Abinger Commons is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- What experience they bring
Why act early in Pitland Street
It helps 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. Older and listed buildings around Pitland Street may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.
