Storm damage roof report in Batt's Corner: what you get
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We are not loss adjusters and can’t say whether a claim will be paid. Typical surveys look at new damp or leaks inside and damaged ridges and hips, on flat roofs, chimney stacks and flashings.
Being in a small place like Batt's Corner makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Wind, rain and roofs in Batt's Corner
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. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. The wider area around Batt's Corner has a long history of building, with Farnham Castle about 4 miles north. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For an older house near a landmark such as The Church Of The Good Shepherd, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.
Batt's Corner is about 4 miles south-west of Farnham, in Surrey. From houses to flats and shops in Batt's Corner, we can survey the roof. Our area takes in places right across Surrey. For surveys nearby, see our Guildford page.

Tips from our surveys
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Don’t go onto the roof to take pictures
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
You will need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
Checking the roof from the ground
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.

Batt's Corner: your questions answered
Is Batt's Corner in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Is Batt's Corner within the area you cover?
Yes, Batt's Corner is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We’re not loss adjusters, and we don’t negotiate claims. We give you an independent report of the damage, which you can pass to your insurer.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the freeholder or managing agent. Let us know about it when you book and we will plan the survey around it.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
There is no single figure. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Your policy document will say.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
What we do, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. Most visits take between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a hamlet or village like Batt's Corner, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We look at the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
How to book
We confirm the price for your survey before booking, so you know the cost up front. Our price is from £150, including VAT. To book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

- Broken or displaced guttering
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Roofs hit by falling trees
