About our storm damage roof report in Redhill
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: 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. You or your insurer can check the weather for the date. We survey chimney stacks, flat roofs and gutters and fascias, and people most frequently book us about loose or broken chimney pots and cowls and water coming in after the storm.
Around a town like Redhill, leaks come from older and newer roofs alike. Older roofs suffer slipped slates, worn mortar and tired lead, while later houses can leak at valleys, verges and flat-roofed additions. The cause decides what happens next, so it’s worth finding it properly. It also tells you whether the problem is old wear or something more recent.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Chimney stacks
High winds can loosen pots, cowls and aerials on stacks. The report notes any damage to the stack.
Lead flashings
Wind can peel back flashings at abutments and stacks. Loose or damaged flashings are photographed and noted.
Storm damage roof reports around Redhill
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
For an older house near a landmark like Saint Matthew's Church, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. For businesses in and around places like The Belfry, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters. Anyone responsible for a site like St Joseph's Catholic Primary 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.

Checking the roof from ground level
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
How the survey works
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, from ground level, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where it applies. The survey usually takes between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Semi-detached and terraced homes in a town like Redhill often share a roof line with the neighbours, so shared parts are looked at as far as they can be seen from your property. It helps to know about previous repairs, leaks or recent work.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We view the roof from wherever it can be seen safely, including the loft where there’s access.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Redhill: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Redhill?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
How should I get ready for a visit in Redhill?
Clear the way to the loft hatch if there is one, and let us know about any leaks, stains or past repairs. Parking and access details for Redhill help us plan the visit.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Start by complaining to the insurer. If it isn’t resolved, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help. The Ombudsman looks at whether there were storm conditions, whether the damage fits a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
What do I do if water is coming in?
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 in case your insurer asks for them.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We aren’t loss adjusters and do not act for you with the insurer. We give you an independent report of the damage for you to send to your insurer.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
