What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. It normally takes between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Older roofs in small places like Woldingham Garden Village can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- You let us know when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We view the roof from wherever it can safely be seen, including the loft where there is access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
How to prepare
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at

Advice
How a storm damage roof report works in Woldingham Garden Village
Wear and tear is normally excluded from home insurance. So it matters whether the damage came from the storm or from a roof that was already worn. We note signs of each: recent damage alongside any older defects, like nail fatigue on slates or eroded pointing. We describe what we see, whichever way it points. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. If you’ve noticed broken or displaced guttering and holes or cracks caused by debris, we can find out what’s behind it.
Somewhere as small as Woldingham Garden Village, older roofs have often been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, particularly to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Woldingham Garden Village
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. 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 such as Titsey Place, about 3 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Woldingham Garden Village goes. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Woodlea Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. If you live in an older home near Church of St Paul, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

Can I check my roof myself?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
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.
Common roof problems in Woldingham Garden Village
Storms don’t only affect pitched roofs. Coverings can tear or peel back at the edges, and water can pond where outlets are blocked. Our report covers flat and pitched roofs.
We are often asked to look at:
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- New damp or leaks inside
Homes near green spaces such as Blanchman's Farm can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

FAQs for Woldingham Garden Village
Do you carry out roof surveys in Woldingham Garden Village?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is Woldingham Garden Village within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
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, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
There is no single figure. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Your policy document will say.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
That’s not something we can promise. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
How we price storm damage roof reports
