How a storm damage roof report works in Sunningdale
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. So it matters whether the damage came from the storm or from a roof that was already worn. Our report records both: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems such as corroded nails or worn mortar. We give an honest view of what we see. Your insurer then decides how its policy applies. Common reasons to book are lead lifted at abutments and damaged flat roof membrane, on gutters and fascias, chimney stacks and ridges and hips.
Older cottages and houses around Sunningdale may have roofs with little or no underlay. Without a sound underlay, any gap in the coverings lets water straight through. Finding where it gets in, and whether it is old wear or new damage, decides what comes next. In the loft, damp battens or wet insulation are frequently the first clues.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photos. On timing, it usually takes about one to two hours for a house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Sunningdale, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we can’t get to. Inside, the loft is checked where it can be reached safely.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at

Practical tips
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Don’t go onto the roof to take pictures
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. After that, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.

Wind, rain and roofs in Sunningdale
St Leonard's Hill, about 4.8 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Sunningdale. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
Homes near green spaces such as Silwood Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. If you own a rental within reach of Sunningdale station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- The size of the roof
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Booking your survey
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Anything about access we should know
- What kind of property and roof it is
Once you know what you need, ring 07833 053749 or email us. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date.
Can I check my roof myself?
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
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.
When to book a survey in Sunningdale
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. Most people book a report soon after a storm, when they’ve seen damage or water has come in.
We are frequently asked to look at:
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Holy Trinity Church, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.
What to check before booking
- Whether the price includes VAT
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- Their insurance cover
Sunningdale: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in Sunningdale?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Sunningdale is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details.
Is Sunningdale within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you as you book.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. We can record the damage in our report.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Raise it with your insurer first. If it isn’t resolved, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help. The Ombudsman asks about storm conditions, whether the damage is consistent with a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
