Storm damage roof report in Borden, Hampshire

Leave it or get it looked at?
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. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Borden, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT.
Why us?
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Visits on any day of the week
- An independent look at the roof
- Clear package prices, inc. VAT

Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Borden
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Falling branches can cause damage too. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. If you’re worried about lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and slipped or missing slates or tiles, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flat roofs, chimney stacks and gutters and fascias alike.
Being in a small place like Borden makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. 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.
It isn’t only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

What affects the price in Borden
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- House, block, shop or office
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The roof’s overall size

Prices quoted always include 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.

How the survey changes by roof type
Ridge and hip tiles
The ridge and hips are among the most exposed parts of a roof. The survey notes loose, cracked or missing ridge and hip tiles.
Lead flashings
When flashings lift, water can get behind them. The report records the flashing and any damp inside.
Wind, rain and roofs in Borden
About 4.4 miles south-east lies Cowdray House, a reminder of how long the area around Borden has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Peter are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. For landlords with property near Liss station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away.

Common questions in Borden
Do you cover Borden?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Borden as anywhere else.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Borden?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
What do I do if water is coming in?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. If it’s safe, take photos before it goes on. Our report then records the roof.
Will you check the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
How long will you be at the property?
Most surveys take an hour or two at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. We will confirm the timing when booking.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It’s 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.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
We cannot say whether a claim will be paid. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.

What happens on the day
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. Older rural homes like those around Borden can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there is access.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- The findings are written up with photos for you to share with your insurer.
Before the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
Book a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or email us.
