Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Shellwood Cross
The Financial Ombudsman looks at three things when it considers a storm damage complaint: whether there were storm conditions around the date, whether the damage fits a storm, and whether the storm was the main cause. We record what the roof shows about the damage and its likely cause. Weather records for the date are for you or your insurer to check. We survey flat roofs, ridges and hips and gutters and fascias, and people most often book us about loose or torn flashings and lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles.
Many homes in small places like Shellwood Cross face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Honest limits
We only report what can safely be seen on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
- Estimates of repair costs
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey. What our survey covers.

With a portfolio of properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To discuss a number of properties, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the addresses.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
How it works
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey typically takes about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. For a village or hamlet like Shellwood Cross, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
How to prepare
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building

Questions from Shellwood Cross
Do you cover Shellwood Cross?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Shellwood Cross is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Shellwood Cross?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Larger or more complex roofs are quoted for their size. It does not include repair costs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for those.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. If it is safe, take photos before it goes on. Our report then records the roof.
When to book a survey in Shellwood Cross
Gusts work at anything on a roof that is loose or exposed. Driving rain then gets in through the gaps. Most people book a report soon after a storm, when they’ve seen damage or water has come in.
We’re frequently asked to look at:
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
Trees in and around Newdigate Brickworks shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- When you’ll get the report
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
Shellwood Cross roofs and the weather
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
If you own a rental within reach of Holmwood station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. The streets around a church such as Church of St Bartholomew are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.
