Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Sheerwater
Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies by policy. Check your own policy wording. Whether the weather met it is for your insurer. Our part is recording the damage to your roof and its likely cause. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. If you’re worried about damaged gutters and fascias and ridge tiles that have come loose, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Being in a small place like Sheerwater makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned in advance. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Why get it checked now?
Leaving storm damage can let water into the roof space and rooms below. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. In a small place like Sheerwater, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

FAQs for Sheerwater
Is my home in Sheerwater listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover smaller places like Sheerwater?
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 booking.
What if the roof was already worn?
Insurers typically exclude wear and tear. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you as you book.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access as you book.
DIY checks: what’s safe
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
Useful tips for Sheerwater property owners
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
If anything in the report isn’t clear, just ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. With binoculars, you can frequently spot problems without climbing. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Sheerwater?
Some people book because a claim has been questioned. An independent report gives you another view of the roof. We can’t say whether the decision will change.
Problems we come across often include:
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- New damp or leaks inside
For landlords with property near West Byfleet station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

The survey, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey normally takes between one and two hours for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Older rural homes like those around Sheerwater 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 can’t see is noted.

With Botleys Mansion about 2.8 miles north, Sheerwater sits in an area with a long building history.
