How a storm damage roof report works in Sandhurst
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. Our report shows the damage in photos and says whether it looks like storm damage, wear and tear, or a mix. We’re not loss adjusters and can’t tell you if your claim will succeed. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. We are often asked to look into loose or broken chimney pots and cowls and broken or displaced guttering, on gutters and fascias, flashings and chimney stacks.
In a town like Sandhurst, older houses and newer estates leak in different ways. On older roofs it’s often slates, mortar and lead that has split or lifted; later homes can leak at valleys, verges and flat roofs over extensions. Knowing the cause tells you what to do next. It also tells you whether the problem is old wear or something more recent.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Sandhurst roofs and the weather
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Sandhurst School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. The streets around a church like St George's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. Trees in and around Sandhurst Memorial Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters.

Different roofs, different checks
Ridge and hip tiles
Worn mortar under ridge tiles can let them lift in a storm. We note whether the mortar looks recently broken or long worn.
Chimney stacks
Older stacks with worn pointing or cracked flaunching are more likely to suffer. Our report notes recent damage and older defects.
When you need someone else
Before booking, it’s worth knowing what a survey won’t do:
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim

Leave it or get it looked at?
A clear, independent record helps you explain the damage to your insurer. It records the damage and what seems to have caused it, so you are not relying only on your own photos. Around Sandhurst, gutters that overflow soak the wall below. A slipped tile or worn flashing does the same higher up. Left alone, both only get worse.
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Booking your survey

- The address and postcode of the property
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will explain the options and the price.
What happens on the day
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes an hour or two for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Semi-detached and terraced homes in a town like Sandhurst frequently share a roof line with the neighbours, so shared parts are looked at as far as they can be seen from your property. Tell us about any known leaks, past repairs or building work as you book.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work

Common questions in Sandhurst
Is my home in Sandhurst listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
What do I need to do before a survey in Sandhurst?
Mostly, it is about access: the loft hatch, any locked gates and where to park in Sandhurst. Tell us about known leaks or past repairs as well.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. If it’s safe, photograph the damage before it’s covered. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
How do I book a survey in Sandhurst?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we will take it from there. We survey on any day of the week.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We inspect whatever is safely visible: from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We’ll talk about access when booking.
