Storm damage roof report in Thorpe
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. It is yours to pass to your insurer. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We’re not loss adjusters, and we can’t tell you whether a claim will succeed. Common reasons to book are damaged ridges and hips and damaged gutters and fascias, across gutters and fascias, flashings and flat roofs.
Being in a small place like Thorpe makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Thorpe
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed beforehand. We survey on any day of the week, which can make access easier.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
Useful tips for Thorpe property owners
Getting the most from a storm damage roof report starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Don’t go onto the roof to take pictures
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. You will have your own independent record to refer to.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. With binoculars, you can frequently spot problems without climbing. Don’t go up a ladder to look.
What we do, step by step
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photographs. As for time on site, it normally takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In a small place like Thorpe, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Before the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
Arrange a survey
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Storm damage roof reports in Thorpe: local notes
Historic houses like Botleys Mansion, about 2.5 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Thorpe goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
Homes near green spaces such as Penton Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn. Take a building like Thorpe CofE Aided Primary School: a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside. For landlords with property near Virginia Water station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
