Prices for storm damage roof reports in Stanwell
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Which survey package you book
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
Every price we give includes VAT. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before booking.
What we need to know
Some details help us recommend the right survey and price. When you contact us, tell us:
- What’s prompted the survey
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Stanwell
Wear and tear is typically excluded from home insurance. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. Our report records both: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems like corroded nails or worn mortar. We give an honest view of what we see. Your insurer then decides how its policy applies. If you’re worried about ridge tiles that have come loose and holes or cracks caused by debris, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Houses in smaller places like Stanwell can stand more in the open, where driving rain gets into any gap at a ridge, verge or flashing. A leak that only appears in certain weather frequently points to an exposed detail. Let us know when it happens when you contact us. The gutters on the most exposed side can overflow too.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

Stanwell: your questions answered
Is my home in Stanwell listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Stanwell in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. If it’s safe, take photos before it goes on. Our report then records the roof.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Start by complaining to the insurer. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that doesn’t resolve it. The Ombudsman looks at whether there were storm conditions, whether the damage fits a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
How long is the visit?
It typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. The written report follows by email.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us the address and what you need to know. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. We record the damage, with photographs and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Stanwell?
Roofs that were already worn are more likely to suffer in a storm. Nail fatigue, eroded ridge mortar and tired flashings can all fail in high winds. We record recent damage alongside older defects.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Loose or torn flashings
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
A roof leak in a hotel or guest house around Stanwell means lost rooms as well as repairs.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- When you will get the report
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Whether VAT is added on top
How it works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Being in a smaller place like Stanwell doesn’t change how the visit works: we look from the ground, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it is safe. It helps to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Preparing for the visit
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Related advice
Before and after the survey
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
Questions about the findings are always welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
What you can safely check yourself
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
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.
Storm damage roof reports in Stanwell: local notes
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. 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 your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
If you own a rental within reach of Ashford Surrey station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. Take a building like Stanwell Fields CofE Primary School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

What happens if roof problems are left?
