How a storm damage roof report works in Sandhurst
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. It is a written report with photos, sent by email. It is not a repair quote and does not include repair costs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. If you’re worried about water coming in after the storm and holes or cracks caused by debris, we can find out what’s behind it.
Being in a small place like Sandhurst makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Sandhurst?
Strong winds lift loose or poorly fixed slates and tiles, ridge pieces and flashings. Rain can then blow in where slates or tiles have gone. People normally call us after a storm, once they’ve noticed damage or a leak.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Stains appearing after strong winds
For an older house near a landmark like Mission Church, leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.
Before booking any roof surveyor

Prices for storm damage roof reports in Sandhurst
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The size of the roof
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.
What we need to know
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Landlords and agents in Sandhurst book surveys as well as householders. A report with photographs gives you a clear record of the roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out in order of urgency where relevant, which helps when budgeting.
Practical tips
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. You’ll have your own independent record to refer to.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
Leaks and storm damage in Sandhurst
About 2.4 miles south-east lies Great Dixter, a reminder of how long the area around Sandhurst has been built on. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
If you let a flat or house near Robertsbridge station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Sandhurst Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

FAQs for Sandhurst
Do you cover Sandhurst?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Is Sandhurst within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Larger or more complex roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs are not included, so ask a roofer to quote.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We look at everything that can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
The survey, step by step
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Around Sandhurst, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Leave side gates unlocked
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
