Storm damage roof report in Thorpe Green
We inspect the roof from wherever it can safely be seen: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there is access, and the roof itself where that’s safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. We note any part we couldn’t see. You get a written report with photos to give to your insurer. If you’ve noticed damage from fallen branches or debris and new damp or leaks inside, we can find out what’s behind it.
Roofs in small places like Thorpe Green often stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
After the visit, you get a report with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

What affects the price in Thorpe Green
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
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 which survey you book.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Thorpe Green?
A storm frequently finds a roof’s existing weak spots. Nail fatigue, eroded ridge mortar and tired flashings can all fail in high winds. Our report notes both the storm damage and any older wear.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- New damp or leaks inside
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Broken or displaced guttering
If you let a flat or house near Virginia Water station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether you get a written report with photos
What this survey cannot tell you
No survey can tell you everything, and it’s better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- Estimates of repair costs
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer

Leaks and storm damage in Thorpe Green
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. Historic houses such as Botleys Mansion, about 2.1 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Thorpe Green goes. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Trees in and around Riverside Walk shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Thorpe Green?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof. We survey on any day of the week.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.

How it works
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It typically takes about one to two hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Cottages and farmhouses around Thorpe Green often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Keep pets in another room

How the survey changes by roof type
Ridge and hip tiles
Worn mortar under ridge tiles can let them lift in a storm. Our report says whether it looks freshly damaged or worn over time.
Flat roof coverings
Edge trims and laps are often where flat roof coverings start to peel back. We check whether the damage is recent or older.
