Storm damage roof report in Wisley
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. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. Typical surveys look at slipped or missing slates or tiles and broken or displaced guttering, on ridges and hips, chimney stacks and gutters and fascias.
Roofs in small places like Wisley frequently stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Why act early in Wisley
Knowing whether older wear played a part helps you understand your position. We record storm damage and older defects, so you know what the roof shows. In a small place like Wisley, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
All our prices include VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.

Wisley roofs and the weather
Historic houses such as Byfleet Manor, about 0.8 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Wisley goes. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. 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. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed.
If you live in an older home near Wisley Church, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. For businesses in and around places like The Peacocks, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters.

What we’re asked to look at in Wisley
Branches and trees often come down on roofs during storms. We record the damage and where it is, backed up with photos.
Common reasons to book include:
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind

Questions to ask before booking
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Whether you get a written report with photos
What happens on the day
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there is safe access. All told, expect about one to two hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Somewhere as small as Wisley, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- The findings are written up with photographs for you to share with your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Find any records of previous roof work

Common questions in Wisley
Is Wisley in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Wisley as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How do I find out if my home in Wisley is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It varies by policy. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but your policy sets the actual test.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs are not part of the report.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only if it’s safe. We look at everything that can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
