How a storm damage roof report works in Pyrford Green
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. Typical surveys look at lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and slipped or missing slates or tiles, on gutters and fascias, ridges and hips and flat roofs.
Many homes in small places like Pyrford Green face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Useful tips for Pyrford Green property owners
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. If that doesn’t resolve it, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help.
Check the roof from the ground after strong winds. With binoculars, you can frequently spot problems without climbing. Do not go up a ladder to look.
What a storm damage roof report doesn’t cover
In fairness, a roof survey has limits:
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
- Negotiating a claim settlement
- Repair costs or quotes for the work

The survey, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit usually takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. Somewhere like Pyrford Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We view the roof from wherever it can safely be seen, including the loft where there’s access.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- The findings are written up with photos for you to share with your insurer.
How to prepare
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

Advice
FAQs for Pyrford Green
Do you carry out roof surveys in Pyrford Green?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Pyrford Green as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is Pyrford Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Pyrford Green is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. If it is safe, photograph the damage before it’s covered. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
What does a storm damage report cost?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. The report doesn’t include repair costs.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Pyrford Green
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed beforehand. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Common roof problems in Pyrford Green
Roofs that were already worn are more likely to suffer in a storm. Nail fatigue, eroded ridge mortar and tired flashings can all fail in high winds. Our report notes both the storm damage and any older wear.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Loose or torn flashings
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
Landlords with a home close to West Byfleet station may find that finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
Questions to ask before booking
- Their report turnaround times
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
Wind, rain and roofs in Pyrford Green
With Byfleet Manor about 1.7 miles north-east, Pyrford Green sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
Shop and office owners around The Peacocks may find that a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near St Nicholas's Church, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.
