A little information up front helps. Please include:

Storm damage roof report in Sandhills: what you get
Our storm damage report starts from £150. You get a written report with photos 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. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. We survey ridges and hips, slate and tile slopes and flashings, and people most often book us about loose or torn flashings and torn or lifted flat roof coverings.
Roofs in small places like Sandhills often stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What happens on the day
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect what can safely be seen, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Older rural homes like those around Sandhills can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Tell us about parking before the day
Booking a survey
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
Related advice
Before and after the survey
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
The report is emailed to you, and you decide what to send to your insurer. We don’t deal with the insurer on your behalf.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
FAQs for Sandhills
Is Sandhills within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Is Sandhills in the area you cover?
Yes, Sandhills is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you as you book.
How long will you be at the property?
It normally takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. You will then get the report by email.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Only from ground level or from windows. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. With binoculars, you can see a lot from the ground, and we’ll record the rest.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. Repair costs aren’t part of the report.
When to book a survey in Sandhills
Strong winds lift loose or poorly fixed slates and tiles, ridge pieces and flashings. Driving rain then gets in through the gaps. People normally call us after a storm, once they’ve noticed damage or a leak.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Roofs hit by falling trees
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of All Saints, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- What experience they bring
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Will the report include photos?
What we can’t see
It is a careful look at the roof, not the whole story. The main limits are:
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you before booking. What a survey covers and does not.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Sandhills
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so check with the council.
For landlords with property near Witley station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. If you look after a building such as King Edward's School Witley, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.
