Storm damage roof report in Titsey, Surrey
We carry out storm damage roof reports in Titsey and the rest of Surrey. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
How it works
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. For a village or hamlet like Titsey, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
How to prepare
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Leave a clear route to the loft

How a storm damage roof report works in Titsey
What counts as a storm depends on your policy, though many use gusts of about 55 mph. Your policy document sets out its own definition. We do not decide whether a storm met that test. Our part is recording the damage to your roof and its likely cause. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. Typical surveys look at cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind and roofs hit by falling trees, across chimney stacks, gutters and fascias and flat roofs.
Roofs in small places like Titsey 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, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: 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.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Why act early in Titsey
Once the storm has passed, damage that looked minor can let water in for months. Getting it recorded and repaired sooner is typically better. For an older or listed building in a place like Titsey, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.

Leaks and storm damage in Titsey
The wider area around Titsey has a long history of building, with Titsey Place about 0.3 miles west. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. In Surrey, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
If you let a flat or house near Oxted station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. If you look after a building such as Oxted School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. The streets around a church like Church of St James the Greater are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.
Titsey is about 5 miles east of Caterham, in Surrey. Whether the building in Titsey is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, the roof can be surveyed on a weekday or at the weekend. Our Surrey coverage includes Titsey and the places around it. There is also a page for Crawley.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Titsey
Do you carry out roof surveys in Titsey?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Titsey is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details.
Do you cover smaller places like Titsey?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
We cannot say whether a claim will be paid. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Please do not climb onto the roof. Take photos from ground level or from windows. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
Complain to your insurer first. If you’re still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. An independent report can add to your evidence, though we can’t predict the outcome.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
For landlords and managing agents
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer.
If you own several properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To discuss a number of properties, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the addresses.
Before and after the survey
Getting the most from a storm damage roof report starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
Once we’ve been, the findings are written up with photos. It covers the damage, its likely cause and any older defects. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.
