Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Tyler's Green
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: were there storm conditions on or around the date, is the damage consistent with a storm, and was the storm the main cause. We record what the roof shows about the damage and its likely cause. Weather records for the date are for you or your insurer to check. We survey slate and tile slopes, gutters and fascias and flat roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are damaged flat roof membrane and broken or displaced guttering.
In a village or hamlet like Tyler's Green, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

FAQs for Tyler's Green
How do I find out if my home in Tyler's Green is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is Tyler's Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Tyler's Green is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the building owner or managing agent. Tell us about it when booking and we will explain what’s needed.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Only from ground level or from windows. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. With binoculars, you can see a lot from the ground and we’ll inspect the rest from safe positions.
What does a storm damage report cost?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. Repair costs are not part of the report.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We’re not loss adjusters, and we don’t negotiate claims. We give you an independent report of the damage for you to send to your insurer.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We check everything that can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
Leaks and storm damage in Tyler's Green
With Titsey Place about 3.9 miles north-east, Tyler's Green sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
Landlords with a home close to Caterham station may find that a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

Useful tips for Tyler's Green property owners
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. After that, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.

How it works
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey typically takes between one and two hours at a typical home, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. For a village or hamlet like Tyler's Green, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- You let us know when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the roof space where it is safe.

Can I check my roof myself?
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
What we are asked to look at in Tyler's Green
Falling trees and branches can damage roofs in high winds. We record the damage and where it is, backed up with photos.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
Homes near green spaces such as Bay Pond can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
What to check before booking
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- Whether VAT is added on top
Why act early in Tyler's Green

In a small place like Tyler's Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.

Different roofs, different checks

A lifted ridge tile can let water into the roof. Each one is recorded with photos.
Chimney stacks
Older stacks with worn pointing or cracked flaunching are more likely to suffer. We record both the storm damage and the older wear.
