Storm Damage Roof Report in Shillinglee
An independent record of roof damage after a storm for Shillinglee and the rest of Surrey. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles

Why it’s worth a survey now in Shillinglee
It is useful to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. In a place like Shillinglee, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.

How a storm damage roof report works in Shillinglee
The Financial Ombudsman looks at three things when it considers a storm damage complaint: were there storm conditions on or around the date, is the damage consistent with a storm, and was the storm 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. If you’re worried about holes or cracks caused by debris and broken or displaced guttering, we can find out what’s behind it.
Being in a small place like Shillinglee makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. It’s useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Shillinglee: your questions answered
Do you cover Shillinglee?
Yes, Shillinglee is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Shillinglee?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
Only your insurer can decide that. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. If it is safe, photograph the damage before it is covered. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out by urgency where it matters, which helps with budgets and planning.
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where applicable. Most surveys take an hour or two on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Older rural homes like those around Shillinglee can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
How to prepare
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
Booking a survey
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form, let us know about the property and we’ll recommend the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

Leaks and storm damage in Shillinglee
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
