Cottages and farmhouses around West Clandon often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- You tell us when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there is access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.

Storm damage roof report in West Clandon: what you get
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. It sets out what is damaged, with photos, and what we think the likely cause is. It is yours to pass to your insurer. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We are not loss adjusters, and we can’t tell you whether a claim will succeed. Common reasons to book are damaged pots on the stack and new damp or leaks inside, across gutters and fascias, flat roofs and flashings.
In a village or hamlet like West Clandon, older cottages and farmhouses frequently have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you are thinking of an insurance claim. We look at everything that’s safely in view and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
The report does not just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

What you can safely check yourself
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
How the survey changes by roof type
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
Debris blown onto a flat roof can puncture the covering or block outlets. Any damage is recorded with photos.
Do you need a storm damage roof report in West Clandon?
Insurers often want evidence of what has been damaged and why. An independent report gives you a clear record to send. Your insurer still makes the decision.
People typically book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Lead lifted at abutments
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter and St Paul, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.
Before booking anyone
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Will the report include photos?
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in West Clandon
Is my home in West Clandon listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Do you cover West Clandon?
Yes, West Clandon is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in West Clandon as anywhere else.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so you know what the roof shows. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
How long does the survey take?
Most surveys take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. The report follows by email.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Just say which days work for you.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. If it is safe, take photos before it goes on. Our report then records the roof.

Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung 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.
For landlords with property near Clandon station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. Anyone responsible for a site like Clandon CofE Aided Primary School will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Damage left open lets in more rain. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. Emergency temporary protection should be arranged with a roofer. Older and listed buildings around West Clandon may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
