Storm damage roof report in Stoneleigh
We inspect the roof from wherever it can safely be seen: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there is access, and the roof itself where that is safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. We note any part we couldn’t see. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. We’re often asked to look into flashings pulled away from walls or stacks and gaps where slates or tiles have gone, on flashings, gutters and fascias and chimney stacks.
Older cottages and houses around Stoneleigh may have roofs with little or no underlay. Once the slates or tiles let water past, there is little to stop it reaching the ceiling. Whether it’s long-term wear or recent damage makes a difference to what happens next. In the loft, damp battens or wet insulation are frequently the first clues.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Stoneleigh questions
Is Stoneleigh in the area you cover?
Yes, Stoneleigh is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the property.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Stoneleigh?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it’s safe. We look at everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed when booking.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Stoneleigh
About 0.8 miles south lies Fitznells Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Stoneleigh has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
If you own a rental within reach of Stoneleigh station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. Take an older house close to The Parish Church of St John the Baptist: water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. If you look after a building such as Auriol Junior School, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.

Useful tips for Stoneleigh property owners
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly

Check the roof from the ground after strong winds. With binoculars, you can often spot problems without climbing. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
Roof by roof
Slate roofs
Slates often outlast the nails that hold them. We look at whether slipped slates suggest storm damage, older wear or both.
Lead flashings
Lifted flashings let rain run behind them into the roof. The report records the flashing and any damp inside.
The survey, step by step
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey usually takes about one to two hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. A visit to a smaller place like Stoneleigh is no different on the day: we look from the ground, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it’s safe. It is useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We check the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
How to prepare
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Why it’s worth a survey now in Stoneleigh
Leaving storm damage can let water into the roof space and rooms below. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. Emergency temporary protection should be arranged with a roofer. Blocked gutters on homes around Stoneleigh overflow and soak walls. Dealing with the cause is simple; drying out a wall is not.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Stoneleigh
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
Can I check my roof myself?
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. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
