Storm damage roof report in Tandridge, Surrey

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Tandridge
A storm frequently finds a roof’s existing weak spots. Corroded nails on slate roofs, worn mortar on ridges and old flashings can all give way. We record recent damage alongside older defects.
People usually book a survey when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Broken or displaced guttering
The streets around a church such as Church of St Peter are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Are they insured for the work?
- What the survey won’t cover
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
Storm damage roof report in Tandridge
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. It’s a written report with photographs, sent by email. It is not a repair quote and doesn’t include repair costs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for that. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. We survey gutters and fascias, slate and tile slopes and flashings, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged gutters and fascias and water coming in after the storm.
Somewhere as small as Tandridge, 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. We check everything that’s safely in view and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Tandridge
With Titsey Place about 3.4 miles north-east, Tandridge sits in an area with a long building history. 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. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
If you let a flat or house near Godstone station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. If you look after a building such as St Peter's CofE Infant School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

Tiles without fixings can move more easily in wind. We record what we can see of the fixings.
Flat roof coverings
On flat roofs, storms can lift edges and tear membranes. We record any damage and where it is.
FAQs for Tandridge
Do you cover smaller places like Tandridge?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Is my home in Tandridge 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.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the survey around it.
How long is the visit?
It typically takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. We’ll confirm the timing when booking.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. Take photos from ground level first if it’s safe. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Once the storm has passed, damage that looked minor can let water in for months. Acting quickly typically means less damage overall. For an older or listed building in a place like Tandridge, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.

What a survey costs
When we price a survey, we consider:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- House, block, shop or office
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
What we need to know
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- Anything about access we should know
- What’s prompted the survey
- Dates you are working to, like exchange
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or email us. The price is agreed before a date is set.

The survey, step by step
We’ll ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Rural addresses near Tandridge can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Jot down any questions you want answered

If you are buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or email us when you’re ready.
