Storm damage roof report in Willey Green: 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 photographs, 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 aren’t loss adjusters and cannot say whether a claim will be paid. If you’re worried about damaged pots on the stack and damaged ridges and hips, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
For a small place like Willey Green, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. Let us know 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.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, with the report sent to whoever needs it. Access is agreed with the tenant beforehand.
We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photographs.
Checking the roof from the ground
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.
What happens on the day
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit normally takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In a hamlet or village like Willey Green, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Let us know where we can park nearby

Practical tips
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
If anything in the report is not clear, just ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Willey Green
With Wanborough Manor about 1.8 miles south, Willey Green sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. 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. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Kings College Guildford, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. Homes near green spaces such as Broadstreet can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. Landlords with a home close to Wanborough station may find that tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

FAQs for Willey Green
Do you carry out roof surveys in Willey Green?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Willey Green is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Is my home in Willey Green listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
How long is the visit?
Expect it to take about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. The written report follows by email.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. If it’s safe, photograph the damage before it’s covered. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
Do you use drones?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only if it is safe. We check everything that can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed as you book.
