The survey, step by step
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. All in, the survey usually takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Rural addresses near Badshot Lea can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photos.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Find any records of previous roof work
Booking a survey
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and give us a few details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.

Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Badshot Lea
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Take photos from ground level or from windows, and do not climb onto the roof. Emergency temporary protection, like covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. We are often asked to look into holes or cracks caused by debris and lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles, on slate and tile slopes, ridges and hips and flashings.
For a small place like Badshot Lea, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. It’s useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

What else we do in Badshot Lea
Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
You will need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
What this survey cannot tell you
Before booking, it is worth knowing what a survey will not do:

Landlord and commercial surveys in Badshot Lea
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photos included.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
What you can safely check yourself
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.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.

I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Let us know about it when booking and we will plan the survey around it.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. Take photos from ground level first if it is safe. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Badshot Lea
Farnham Castle, about 1.8 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Badshot Lea. 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. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
If you look after a building like Badshot Lea Village Infant School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. If you live near a park like Weybourne LNR, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. For landlords with property near Aldershot station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

What happens if roof problems are left?
