How a storm damage roof report works in Worplesdon
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Take photos from the ground or from windows, and do not climb onto the roof. Emergency temporary protection, like covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. If you’re worried about damaged flat roof membrane and lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Roofs in small places like Worplesdon often stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Worplesdon?
When you claim, your insurer may ask for evidence of the damage and its cause. An independent report gives you a clear record to send. Your insurer still makes the decision.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
Take a building like Worplesdon Primary School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

Worplesdon questions
Do you cover smaller places like Worplesdon?
Yes, Worplesdon is covered. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
How do I find out if my home in Worplesdon is listed?
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. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Larger or more complex roofs are quoted for their size. It doesn’t include repair costs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for those.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know the address and what you’d like to know. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
Each policy has its own definition. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but your policy sets the actual test.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We are not loss adjusters and do not act for you with the insurer. We give you an independent report of the damage for you to send to your insurer.
Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
The report is emailed to you, and you decide what to send to your insurer. It is your record to use.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.

Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.

A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report.

Worplesdon roofs and the weather
Guildford Castle, about 3.3 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Worplesdon. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung 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.
For businesses in and around places such as The Peacocks, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down. Living close to Fox Corner Wildlife Area is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
