Storm Damage Roof Report in Whitmoor Vale
Not sure what state the roof is in? We carry out storm damage roof reports in Whitmoor Vale and across Surrey.
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
About our storm damage roof report in Whitmoor Vale
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Falling branches can cause damage too. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. If you’ve noticed gaps where slates or tiles have gone and damaged gutters and fascias, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Whitmoor Vale, older cottages and farmhouses frequently have roofs that have been patched over many years. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. We check what can be seen safely and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Why act early in Whitmoor Vale
Many policies expect damage to be reported promptly. Let your insurer know early, and check what your policy asks for. An independent report can follow. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Why us?
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed
- Surveys seven days a week
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

Whitmoor Vale: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Whitmoor Vale?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Whitmoor Vale?
Yes, Whitmoor Vale is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and the South East. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
It depends on your policy. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Check your policy wording.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed as you book.
Is this a RICS 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 and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Stay off the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
What happens on the day
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Somewhere like Whitmoor Vale needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
How to prepare
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Note where any stains or damp appear

Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.

Leaks and storm damage in Whitmoor Vale
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
Anyone responsible for a site like Beacon Hill Community Primary School will know that a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside. Trees in and around The Flashes shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.

When to book a survey in Whitmoor Vale
When you claim, your insurer may ask for evidence of the damage and its cause. An independent report gives you a clear record to send. Your insurer still makes the decision.
Problems we come across often include:
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Loose or torn flashings
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Luke, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.
