Storm damage roof report in Shottermill, Surrey
An experienced roof surveyor for storm damage roof reports in Shottermill. More than 20 years and over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
Should I look at the roof myself first?
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Shottermill
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there’s access, and the roof itself where that’s safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. We note any part we couldn’t see. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. If you’ve noticed holes or cracks caused by debris and lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flashings, slate and tile slopes and gutters and fascias alike.
Older cottages and houses around Shottermill may have roofs with little or no underlay. Without a sound underlay, any gap in the coverings lets water straight through. Whether it is long-term wear or recent damage makes a difference to what happens next. In the loft, damp battens or wet insulation are often the first clues.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

How it works
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. The visit typically takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Homes around Shottermill frequently have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Mention any side of the property we can’t get to. Inside, the loft is looked at where it can be reached safely.
- 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.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
How to prepare
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
How to book
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Advice

Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
Storm damage roof reports in Shottermill: local notes
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. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask.
A roof leak in a hotel or guest house around Shottermill means lost rooms as well as repairs. If you live in an older home near St. Stephen's Church, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

When you call or email, these details help:

Unsure which package suits your roof? It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll explain the options and the price.
Leave it or get it looked at?

Around Shottermill, leaves and moss in gutters lead to overflowing water and damp walls, particularly where trees overhang. It is easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, from £400 with VAT included. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.

Will you walk on the roof?

How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
It varies by policy. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but check your own wording.

When to book a survey in Shottermill
Strong winds lift loose or poorly fixed slates and tiles, ridge pieces and flashings. Driving rain then gets in through the gaps. People normally call us after a storm, once they’ve noticed damage or a leak.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Loose or torn flashings
For landlords with property near Haslemere station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
