About our storm damage roof report in Woolmer Hill
We inspect the roof from wherever it can safely be seen: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there’s access, and the roof itself where that is safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. We note any part we couldn’t see. You get a report with photographs to give to your insurer. If you are worried about flashings pulled away from walls or stacks and new damp or leaks inside, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Many homes in small places like Woolmer Hill face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

FAQs for Woolmer Hill
Do you cover smaller places like Woolmer Hill?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Is Woolmer Hill in the area you cover?
Yes, Woolmer Hill is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Woolmer Hill as anywhere else.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
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.
How long does the survey take?
It typically takes about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The report follows by email.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We are not loss adjusters, and we do not negotiate claims. We give you an independent report of the damage for you to send to your insurer.

Woolmer Hill roofs and the weather
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. In Surrey, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
Anyone responsible for a site like Camelsdale Primary School will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. For landlords with property near Haslemere station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

Practical tips
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. They can damage the roof in high winds.
Can I check my roof myself?
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Woolmer Hill
With an independent report, you have something specific to show your insurer. It records the damage and what seems to have caused it, so you’re not relying only on your own photos. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Woolmer Hill, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, including VAT, and we can help you choose.
