Storm damage roof report in Wentworth, Surrey
Wondering about the roof at a property in Wentworth? You can book a storm damage roof report in Wentworth and across Surrey, with plain-English findings.
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Wentworth
Strong winds lift loose or poorly fixed slates and tiles, ridge pieces and flashings. Rain can then blow in where slates or tiles have gone. Most people book a report soon after a storm, when they’ve seen damage or water has come in.
People normally book a survey after spotting one of these:
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
Take an older house close to Christ Church: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens after the report arrives
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- How long the report takes to arrive
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Wentworth
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. Common reasons to book are torn or lifted flat roof coverings and lead lifted at abutments, on slate and tile slopes, flashings and gutters and fascias.
Roofs in small places like Wentworth 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, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

Leaks and storm damage in Wentworth
About 3.1 miles south-east lies Botleys Mansion, a reminder of how long the area around Wentworth has been built on. 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. Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. 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.
If you own a rental within reach of Longcross station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. If you look after a building such as Christ Church CofE Aided Infant School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
Wentworth is about 3 miles south-west of Egham, in Surrey. Surveys in Wentworth work the same way as everywhere we cover: a careful inspection, photos and a written report.

We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photos, useful for planning maintenance.
What we look for on each type of roof
Chimney stacks
Flashings around stacks can lift in strong winds. Loose flashings are recorded.
Lead flashings
Flashings with older defects frequently fail in high winds. We record what looks recent and what looks older.
Why it is worth a survey now in Wentworth
A clear, independent record helps you explain the damage to your insurer. It records the damage and what seems to have caused it, so you are not relying only on your own photos. For an older or listed building in a place like Wentworth, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, including VAT, and we can help you choose.

Can I check my roof myself?
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
The survey, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. The visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Older roofs in small places like Wentworth can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Tell us about parking before the day

Advice
Questions from Wentworth
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Wentworth?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you cover smaller places like Wentworth?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. Take photos from the ground first if it is safe. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Our reports start from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. Repair costs aren’t part of the report.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details as you book.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. We note both storm damage and older defects, so it’s clear what we found. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
