Storm damage roof report in Sunninghill: what you get
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. We survey gutters and fascias, chimney stacks and flashings, and common reasons people get in touch are torn or lifted flat roof coverings and water coming in after the storm.
In a smaller place like Sunninghill, some roofs face open ground, so wind and driving rain find any weakness in ridges, verges and flashings. If a leak shows only when the wind is in a certain direction, that’s a useful clue. It’s useful to know when and where the water appears. The gutters on the most exposed side can overflow too.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Storm damage roof reports around Sunninghill
Historic houses such as St Leonard's Hill, about 4.6 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Sunninghill goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
Living close to Silwood Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. For landlords with property near Ascot station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Sunninghill
Damage left open lets in more rain. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. Around Sunninghill, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than the original defect.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Sunninghill?
When you claim, your insurer may ask for evidence of the damage and its cause. An independent report gives you a clear record to send. The decision still rests with the insurer.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Water coming in after the storm
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
Anyone responsible for a site like St Michael's CofE Primary School will know that a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside.
Choosing a roof surveyor

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Sunninghill
Do you cover Sunninghill?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you cover smaller places like Sunninghill?
Yes. Sunninghill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Raise it with your insurer first. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that doesn’t resolve it. The Ombudsman asks about storm conditions, whether the damage is consistent with a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Usually, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The roof space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
To price your survey, we look at:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The roof’s overall size
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
Getting in touch
When you call or email, these details help:
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Anything about access we should know
- What’s prompted the survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, take photos as we go and make notes for the report. It usually takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Parking around Sunninghill is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from ground level, and the loft shows the rest, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where applicable.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
How to prepare
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
How to book
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know the cost up front. Prices start from £150, including VAT. To book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
