Storm damage roof report in Woodham: what you get
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It isn’t a repair quote and doesn’t include repair costs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for that. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. If you’re worried about slipped or missing slates or tiles and ridge tiles that have come loose, we can find out what’s behind it, on flat roofs, gutters and fascias and flashings alike.
In older homes around places like Woodham, the underlay may be old bitumen felt, or there may be none at all. Without a sound underlay, any gap in the coverings lets water straight through. Finding where it gets in, and whether it is old wear or new damage, decides what comes next. Wet battens and insulation in the loft are often the first clue.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

Wind, rain and roofs in Woodham
About 2.2 miles north-west lies Botleys Mansion, a reminder of how long the area around Woodham has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
If you run a business near The Peacocks, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down. If you live in an older home near Church of St John the Baptist, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.
Woodham is about 3 miles north-east of Woking, in Surrey. We carry out storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Woodham and the surrounding area. Our area takes in places right across Surrey, large and small. Guildford is in our area too.

Close by, we survey roofs in West Byfleet (1 mile south-east), Sheerwater (1 mile south-west), Pyrford (1 mile south), Row Town (1 mile north) and Ottershaw (1 mile north-west).

Landlords, agents and block managers in Woodham

Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when you book and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
FAQs for Woodham
Is Woodham within the area you cover?
Yes, Woodham is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Woodham?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. Take photos from ground level first if it is safe. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
Each policy has its own definition. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but your policy sets the actual test.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Tell us about it as you book and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Roof by roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Strong gusts can lift and break tiles. The report shows each damaged area.
Slate roofs
After strong winds, we frequently see cracked and slipped slates. We photograph and describe each one.
DIY checks: what’s safe
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Leave it or get it looked at?
It’s useful to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. With lower homes, common in places like Woodham, there is little between a roof defect and the ceiling, so a small leak can mark a ceiling within a few storms. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.

How the survey works
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. If you have questions on the day, just ask. A visit to a smaller place like Woodham is no different on the day: we look from ground level, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it is safe. It helps to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We look at the roof from wherever it is safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Before the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
Book a survey
We survey roofs seven days a week. To arrange a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and the days you’d prefer.

Common roof problems in Woodham
A storm frequently finds a roof’s existing weak spots. Corroded nails on slate roofs, worn mortar on ridges and old flashings can all give way. We record recent damage alongside older defects.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Lead lifted at abutments
If you look after a building such as Fullbrook School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.
