Different roofs, different checks
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.
Slate roofs
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, but the nails frequently fail first. The report records whether slipped slates look like storm damage or older wear.
How a storm damage roof report works in West Molesey
Our storm damage report starts from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It doesn’t price the repairs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. If you are worried about flat roof edges peeled back and ridge tiles that have come loose, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flashings, gutters and fascias and ridges and hips alike.
In older homes around places like West Molesey, the underlay may be old bitumen felt, or there may be none at all. Without a sound underlay, any gap in the coverings lets water straight through. Finding where it gets in, and whether it is old wear or new damage, decides what comes next. In the loft, damp battens or wet insulation are often the first clues.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Common questions in West Molesey
Is West Molesey within the area you cover?
Yes, West Molesey is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
How do I find out if my home in West Molesey is listed?
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. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We look at everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Our reports start from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. The report doesn’t include repair costs.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
For landlords and managing agents
Letting agents and landlords in West Molesey book surveys as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photos.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, with the report sent to whoever needs it. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
What affects the price in West Molesey
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- How big the roof is
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Helping us price your survey
What helps most when you contact us:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Leaks and storm damage in West Molesey
In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. Historic houses like Hampton Court Palace, about 1.6 miles east, show how far back building in the area around West Molesey goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you own a rental within reach of Hampton station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. Homes near green spaces like Lower Hampton Road can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn. For businesses in and around places such as Bentall Centre, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters.

What you can safely check yourself
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
It is useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Why it is worth a survey now in West Molesey
It helps to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Further storms and quick fixes can make the picture less clear. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like West Molesey, so it is useful to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.
All our prices include VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for your survey before you book.

How the survey works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Parking around West Molesey is typically easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from ground level, and the loft shows the rest.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Keep pets in another room
- Jot down any questions you want answered
