For landlords and managing agents
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey seven days a week, which can make access easier.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.
Storm damage roof report in Rowly
Wear and tear is usually excluded from home insurance. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. Our report records both: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems such as corroded nails or worn mortar. We describe what we see, whichever way it points. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. Common reasons to book are flat roof edges peeled back and loose or torn flashings, on gutters and fascias, flashings and slate and tile slopes.
Being in a small place like Rowly makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
You receive the findings 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.

Can I check my roof myself?
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
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 the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Rowly
Historic houses such as Chilworth Manor, about 4.3 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Rowly goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. In Surrey, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
If you let a flat or house near Chilworth station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. If you look after a building such as Glebelands School, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Rowly
Do you carry out roof surveys in Rowly?
Yes, Rowly is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Rowly as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you cover smaller places like Rowly?
Yes. Rowly is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
Each policy has its own definition. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but your policy sets the actual test.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What a storm damage roof report doesn’t cover
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Keep these in mind:
- The outcome of a claim
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will suggest the right survey. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
What this survey covers
- Flat roofs
- Slate and tile slopes
- Flashings
- Gutters and fascias
- Ridges and hips
- Chimney stacks
What we do, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes between one and two hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Older roofs in small places like Rowly can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
Book a survey

Why it’s worth a survey now in Rowly
Leaving storm damage can let water into the loft space and rooms below. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. Emergency temporary protection should be arranged with a roofer. For an older or listed building in a place like Rowly, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Rowly
Roofs that were already worn are more likely to suffer in a storm. Corroded nails on slate roofs, worn mortar on ridges and old flashings can all give way. Our report notes both the storm damage and any older wear.
Common reasons to book include:
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Damaged gutters and fascias
Living close to Cucknell's Wood is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- Whether the price includes VAT

- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
