What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
When we price a survey, we consider:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The size of the roof
- House, block, shop or office
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

How a storm damage roof report works in Bordon
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. It’s a written report with photos, sent by email. It doesn’t price the repairs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for that. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. We survey slate and tile slopes, chimney stacks and gutters and fascias, and people most often book us about damaged flat roof membrane and lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles.
In older homes around places like Bordon, the underlay may be old bitumen felt, or there may be none at all. Without a sound underlay, any gap in the coverings lets water straight through. Whether it is long-term wear or recent damage makes a difference to what happens next. In the loft, damp battens or wet insulation are frequently the first clues.
After the visit, you get a report with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Bordon
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mark's Sacred Church, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. If you look after a building such as Bordon Infant School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

Useful tips for Bordon property owners
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
Questions about the findings are always welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.

What we’re asked to look at in Bordon
Roofs that were already worn are more likely to suffer in a storm. Nail fatigue, eroded ridge mortar and tired flashings can all fail in high winds. We record recent damage alongside older defects.
Common reasons to book include:
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Broken or displaced guttering
If you own a rental within reach of Liphook station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Damage left open lets in more rain. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. In a smaller place like Bordon, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing doesn’t stay loose for long. Wind gets under it and lifts more.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, which starts from £400, including VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.

Take a look at what a roof survey costs and two real surveys.
How the survey works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Parking around Bordon is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. Low roofs on bungalows can frequently be seen well from ground level, and the loft shows the rest, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where applicable.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Before the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
Booking a survey
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or send us an email, let us know about the property and we will suggest the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

Roof by roof
Lead flashings
Flashings with older defects often fail in high winds. We record what looks recent and what looks older.
Slate roofs
In high winds, slates can slip or go, frequently where nails have rusted. We record which slates have moved and any signs of older nail fatigue.
Questions from Bordon
Do you carry out roof surveys in Bordon?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bordon?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It varies by policy. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but your policy sets the actual test.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Please don’t climb onto the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
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.
