How a storm damage roof report works in Binscombe
After a storm, safety comes first. Take photos from the ground or from windows, and don’t climb onto the roof. Emergency temporary protection, such as covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. Typical surveys look at water coming in after the storm and slipped or missing slates or tiles, on ridges and hips, gutters and fascias and chimney stacks.
Roofs in small places like Binscombe often stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Why act early in Binscombe
The sooner the damage is recorded, the clearer the evidence. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. For older village homes like those around Binscombe, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.

How the survey works
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In a small place like Binscombe, access is usually the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.

Useful tips for Binscombe property owners
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Take photos from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
The report is emailed to you, and you decide what to send to your insurer. We don’t deal with the insurer on your behalf.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
Checking the roof from ground level
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.

Leaks and storm damage in Binscombe
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. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. The wider area around Binscombe has a long history of building, with Loseley Park about 0.7 miles north-east. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Living close to Farncombe Wood is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Loseley Fields Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. Landlords with a home close to Farncombe station may find that a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

Common questions in Binscombe
Will you come out to Binscombe?

Is Binscombe in the area you cover?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, and Binscombe is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so you know what the roof shows. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?

Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
