Storm damage roof report in Wanborough: what you get
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. It sets out what is damaged, with photos, and what we think the likely cause is. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We are not loss adjusters, and we cannot tell you whether a claim will succeed. Typical surveys look at flat roof edges peeled back and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind, across flashings, ridges and hips and gutters and fascias.
Roofs in small places like Wanborough 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 record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

What happens on the day
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. The whole visit typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. Somewhere as small as Wanborough, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- 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
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
Arrange a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Leave it or get it looked at?
If a roofer needs to make the roof safe, take photos first if you can do so safely from ground level. That keeps a record of how it looked. In a small place like Wanborough, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.

When to book a survey in Wanborough
Others book after an insurer has queried a claim. You get an independent record of what the roof shows. We cannot say whether the decision will change.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- New damp or leaks inside
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
If you live near a park such as Pucks Oak Barn and McAlmont Reserves, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
Before booking anyone
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
Common questions in Wanborough
Is Wanborough in the area you cover?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Wanborough is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Is my home in Wanborough listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Wanborough?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us the address and what you need to know. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We are not loss adjusters and don’t act for you with the insurer. We give you an independent report of the damage, which you can pass to your insurer.
How long will you be at the property?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof, but most surveys take an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Different roofs, different checks
Ridge and hip tiles
The ridge and hips are among the most exposed parts of a roof. The survey notes loose, cracked or missing ridge and hip tiles.
Flat roof coverings
Branches and debris can damage flat roofs or block outlets. We record what we find.

Checking the roof from ground level
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Wind, rain and roofs in Wanborough
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. About 0.1 miles east lies Wanborough Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Wanborough has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Take an older house close to Church of St Bartholomew: the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. Take a building like Puttenham CofE Infant School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
