Storm damage roof report in York Town
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It doesn’t price the repairs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. 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. We are frequently asked to look into broken or displaced guttering and lead lifted at abutments, across slate and tile slopes, ridges and hips and chimney stacks.
In a smaller place like York Town, some roofs face open ground, where driving rain gets into any gap at a ridge, verge or flashing. A leak that only appears in certain weather often points to an exposed detail. Let us know when it happens when you get in touch. Gutters and downpipes on the exposed side are worth a look as well.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
We confirm the exact price before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- The size of the roof
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Helping us price your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Dates you are working to, like exchange
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email to find out.
York Town: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in York Town?
Yes, York Town is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in York Town is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s 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.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Stay off the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
Only your insurer can decide that. We record the damage, with photographs and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
How the survey changes by roof type
Slate roofs
After strong winds, we frequently see cracked and slipped slates. We photograph and describe each one.
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles can lift, crack or blow off in high winds. The report shows each damaged area.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Leaving storm damage can let water into the loft space and rooms below. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like York Town, so it’s useful to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. A survey gives you that notice.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 inc. VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.

York Town roofs and the weather
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
If you let a flat or house near Camberley station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. If you live in an older home near Church of St Michael York Town, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

How it works
The visit has one job: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. The visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. For a survey in York Town, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Getting ready for the survey
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
Getting a price
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Tips that help
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
Questions about the findings are always welcome. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. With binoculars, you can often spot problems without climbing. Don’t go up a ladder to look.
Do you need a storm damage roof report in York Town?
Landlords and managing agents book reports to keep a record for owners and insurers. The report can be shared with owners, tenants or insurers.
Signs worth acting on include:
- New damp or leaks inside
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Damaged ridges and hips
Trees in and around Tekels Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Questions to ask before booking
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- What they will not be able to tell you
- When you will get the report
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
