Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Westcott
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It does not price the repairs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. Typical surveys look at flat roof edges peeled back and loose or broken chimney pots and cowls, on flashings, gutters and fascias and ridges and hips.
For a small place like Westcott, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned in advance. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

FAQs for Westcott
Do you cover smaller places like Westcott?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Westcott?
Yes, Westcott is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and the South East. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. If it is safe, photograph the damage before it is covered. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Raise it with your insurer first. If it isn’t resolved, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help. The Ombudsman asks about storm conditions, whether the damage is consistent with a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. It normally takes an hour or two at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Older rural homes like those around Westcott can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Getting ready for the survey
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
Booking a survey
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or email us, and we will ask about the building and what you need. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
Advice
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Westcott
With Polesden Lacey about 2.2 miles north, Westcott sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, 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. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
If you live near a park such as Milton Heath and The Nower, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys. If you live in an older home near St John's Community Hall, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. If you look after a building such as Surrey Hills All Saints Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

How we price storm damage roof reports
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The roof’s overall size
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.

- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
