Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Binley
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. 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. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. If you are worried about damaged ridges and hips and damaged flat roof membrane, we can find out what’s behind it, on flashings, ridges and hips and slate and tile slopes alike.
Being in a small place like Binley makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: 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. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

What you can safely check yourself
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Many policies expect damage to be reported promptly. Let your insurer know early, and check what your policy asks for. An independent report can follow. In a place like Binley, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both including VAT. You’ll know the price for the job before booking.

Common questions in Binley
Is Binley within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Binley?
Yes, Binley is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
How long will you be at the property?
It usually takes about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. We will confirm the timing when booking.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is not usually covered. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. Your insurer decides the claim.
How do I book a survey in Binley?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Before and after the survey
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Check your policy for how to report damage
Once we have been, the findings are written up with photos. It covers the damage, its likely cause and any older defects. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
How it works
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photographs, sent to you by email. As for time on site, most surveys take between one and two hours at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Around Binley, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the loft space where it is safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Note where any stains or damp appear

Leaks and storm damage in Binley
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. With Highclere Castle about 3.8 miles north-east, Binley sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
