How a storm damage roof report works in Trumps Green
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there is access, and the roof itself where that is safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. If part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. We’re often asked to look into damaged ridges and hips and lead lifted at abutments, across slate and tile slopes, flashings and gutters and fascias.
Roofs in small places like Trumps Green often stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. 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.
The report is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to.

What a survey costs

- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight

Helping us price your survey
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, let us know:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The property’s address and postcode
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
To book a survey, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know the address and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price before you book.
What we do, step by step
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey normally takes about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Trumps Green often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- 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.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
Getting a price
Getting a price is simple: just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and give us a few details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

Trumps Green roofs and the weather
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. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. With Botleys Mansion about 2.2 miles south-east, Trumps Green 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.
Take an older house close to Christ Church: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. For landlords with property near Virginia Water station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

DIY checks: what’s safe
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
When to book a survey in Trumps Green
Landlords and building managers frequently need a written record after a storm. The report can be shared with owners, tenants or insurers.
Common reasons to book include:
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Stains appearing after strong winds
Take a building like Trumps Green Infant School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.
Before you book anyone
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- What follow-up you get after the report
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours

What else we do in Trumps Green
Trumps Green: your questions answered
Do you cover Trumps Green?
Yes, Trumps Green is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Trumps Green as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How do I find out if my home in Trumps Green is listed?
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.
How are storm damage reports priced?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs are not part of the report.
What if the roof was already worn?
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so you know what the roof shows. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details when you book.
Does this replace a RICS home 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.
How long does the survey take?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof, but most surveys take an hour or two on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. The report is sent afterwards by email.
