Storm damage roof report in Tatsfield: what you get
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from the ground, from windows and higher points, from the roof space and from the roof where it’s safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. We note any part we couldn’t see. You get a written report with photos to give to your insurer. If you’re worried about lead lifted at abutments and damage from fallen branches or debris, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on slate and tile slopes, flashings and flat roofs alike.
Many London homes are well over a century old and their roofs have been patched more than once, so a new leak can be the latest sign of wear rather than a single event. Telling wear from a one-off event matters, because insurers usually exclude wear and tear. That is as true in Tatsfield as anywhere in London. A written record with photographs helps you explain what was found to whoever deals with it next.
The written findings come 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.

Useful tips for Tatsfield property owners
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Photograph damage inside the house too
If you are unhappy with how your insurer handles the claim, you can complain to them first. After that, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Store invoices and reports for any roof work. They help show the roof was in good order before a storm.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, with the most urgent items set out first.
Landlords and letting agents in Tatsfield book surveys as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photographs, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
What a storm damage roof report does not cover
No survey can tell you everything, and it is better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
- A price for the repairs
- A decision on your insurance claim
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will suggest the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

Wind, rain and roofs in Tatsfield
In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. If your home in Tatsfield is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. Historic houses such as Titsey Place, about 1.4 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Tatsfield goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Mary the Virgin, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. Controlled parking zones are common in London, so mention any permit rules for Tatsfield, along with any off-street space. Landlords with a home close to Oxted station may find that a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away.

The survey, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a report with photographs. As for time on site, it usually takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Many London properties are flats or terraces with no side access, so the back of the roof is frequently seen from upstairs windows, from inside or, where a flight is allowed, from the air. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when booking.
- 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.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- The findings are written up with photographs for you to share with your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
Book a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
