About our storm damage roof report in Stoke D'Abernon
Wear and tear is usually excluded from home insurance. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. We note signs of each: recent damage alongside any older defects, like nail fatigue on slates or eroded pointing. We describe what we see, whichever way it points. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. We survey ridges and hips, gutters and fascias and flashings, and the problems we are asked to look at most are gutters pulled loose in the wind and gaps where slates or tiles have gone.
Somewhere as small as Stoke D'Abernon, older roofs have often been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you are thinking of an insurance claim. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
The report is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

A clear, independent record helps you explain the damage to your insurer. It sets out what we found and the likely cause, so you are not relying only on your own photos. Outbuildings and barns around Stoke D'Abernon are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.

Stoke D'Abernon questions
Do you cover Stoke D'Abernon?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Stoke D'Abernon is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Stoke D'Abernon?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s 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.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Safely, from ground level or a window. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. With binoculars, you can see a lot from ground level and we will inspect the rest from safe positions.
How long will you be at the property?
Most surveys take between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. We’ll confirm the timing as you book.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
That’s not something we can promise. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when you book.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Stoke D'Abernon
With a portfolio of properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To discuss a number of properties, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the addresses.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out in order of urgency where relevant, which helps when budgeting.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Wind, rain and roofs in Stoke D'Abernon
Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. The Homewood, about 2 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Stoke D'Abernon. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you let a flat or house near Cobham & Stoke Dabernon station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. If you look after a building such as Parkside School, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.

Before and after the survey
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
If you’re unhappy with how your insurer handles the claim, you can complain to them first. If that does not resolve it, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help.
Keep records of roof work and surveys. They help show the roof was in good order before a storm.
How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. For a village or hamlet like Stoke D'Abernon, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Before the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
