About our storm damage roof report in Sunbury-on-Thames
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 are worried about damaged ridges and hips and water coming in after the storm, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a town like Sunbury-on-Thames, older houses and newer estates leak in different ways. On older roofs it is frequently slates, mortar and lead that has split or lifted; later homes can leak at valleys, verges and flat roofs over extensions. The cause decides what happens next, so it is worth finding it properly. It also tells you whether the problem is old wear or something more recent.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Leaving storm damage can let water into the loft space and rooms below. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. Emergency temporary protection should be arranged with a roofer. Once water reaches the loft insulation in a home in Sunbury-on-Thames, it loses much of its value and is slow to dry. That adds to the bill long before the leak is obvious.
Every price we give includes VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the exact price before booking.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Sunbury-on-Thames
Strong winds lift loose or poorly fixed slates and tiles, ridge pieces and flashings. Rain can then blow in where slates or tiles have gone. People typically call us after a storm, once they’ve noticed damage or a leak.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Water coming in after the storm
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
If you look after a building such as St Ignatius RC Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Which limits apply to the survey
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The roof’s overall size
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, inc. VAT, and we can help you choose.
What to tell us when you get in touch
A little information up front helps. It is useful to include:
- What’s prompted the survey
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- When you need the report by
- The address and postcode of the property
We confirm the exact price before booking, so you know the cost up front. Prices start from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Different roofs, different checks
Slate roofs
After strong winds, we often see cracked and slipped slates. Each area is photographed and described.
Ridge and hip tiles
The ridge and hips are among the most exposed parts of a roof. We record any that have lifted, cracked or come away.
Storm damage roof reports in Sunbury-on-Thames: 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. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. The wider area around Sunbury-on-Thames has a long history of building, with Hampton Court Palace about 3.5 miles east. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
If you let a flat or house near Sunbury station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. For an older house near a landmark like St Saviour, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

Sunbury-on-Thames: your questions answered
Is Sunbury-on-Thames in the area you cover?
Yes, Sunbury-on-Thames is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Is my home in Sunbury-on-Thames listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We check everything that can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It varies by policy. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but your policy sets the actual test.
How it works
The visit has one job: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. The visit normally takes an hour or two for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Parking in a town like Sunbury-on-Thames is normally simple, but tell us if there is a driveway or any restrictions. The inspection covers whatever is safely visible from outside, from windows and from the loft space.
- You let us know when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
