Common questions in Wyke
Is my home in Wyke listed or in a conservation area?
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.
Is Wyke within the area you cover?
Yes, Wyke is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Please do not climb onto the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
How long does the survey take?
It typically takes about one to two hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. The report follows by email.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We are not loss adjusters, and we don’t negotiate claims. We give you an independent report of the damage for you to send to your insurer.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
Start by complaining to the insurer. If it is not resolved, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help. The Ombudsman asks about storm conditions, whether the damage is consistent with a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Wyke
High winds normally affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. 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. If you’re worried about damaged gutters and fascias and gaps where slates or tiles have gone, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
For a small place like Wyke, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Leave it or get it looked at?
It helps to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Further storms and quick fixes can make the picture less clear. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Wyke, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.

Tips from our surveys
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.

DIY checks: what’s safe
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
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.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Wyke
About 2.2 miles south-east lies Wanborough Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Wyke has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. 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.
For landlords with property near Ash station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Peter, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Lead lifted at abutments

The survey, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Older roofs in small places like Wyke can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
How to prepare
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
How to book
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email, let us know about the property and we will suggest the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
