How a storm damage roof report works in Poyle
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. 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. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. If you are worried about flat roof edges peeled back and water coming in after the storm, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
For a small place like Poyle, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned in advance. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What else we do in Poyle
Tips that help
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
For repair costs, ask a roofer to quote. They can use our report to see what needs doing.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Poyle
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Poyle. For a price for a let property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
Why act early in Poyle
Damage left open lets in more rain. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. Emergency temporary protection should be arranged with a roofer. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.

How it works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Somewhere like Poyle needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- You let us know when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We view the roof from wherever it can be seen safely, including the loft where there is access.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
How to prepare
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
Getting a price
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from the ground or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, call 07833 053749 or email us.

FAQs for Poyle
Will you come out to Poyle?
Yes, Poyle is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Do you cover Poyle?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Poyle is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Usually, if there is one and it can be reached safely. The roof space can show things the outside cannot, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. 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.
Wind, rain and roofs in Poyle
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. Frogmore House, about 3.5 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Poyle. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Anyone responsible for a site like Pippins 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 Heathrow Terminal 5 Rail station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Thomas, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.
