Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Boundstone
After a storm, safety comes first. Photograph the damage from ground level or a window, and never climb up. 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. Keep receipts for any emergency work. We survey chimney stacks, flashings and gutters and fascias, and the problems we are asked to look at most are new damp or leaks inside and broken or displaced guttering.
In older homes around places like Boundstone, the underlay may be old bitumen felt, or there may be none at all. Once the slates or tiles let water past, there’s little to stop it reaching the ceiling. Whether it’s long-term wear or recent damage makes a difference to what happens next. Wet battens and insulation in the loft are frequently the first clue.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Leave it or get it looked at?
With an independent report, you have something specific to show your insurer. It sets out what we found and the likely cause, alongside any photos you took yourself. With lower homes, common in places like Boundstone, there’s little between a roof defect and the ceiling, so a small leak can mark a ceiling within a few storms. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Why choose Independent Roof Survey in Boundstone
- Plain-English reports with photos
- Drone and thermal imaging surveys available
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Weekday and weekend surveys
Different roofs, different checks
Clay and concrete tiles
A missing tile lets rain reach the underlay. Each gap is recorded with a photo.
Slate roofs
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, but the nails often fail first. We look at whether slipped slates suggest storm damage, older wear or both.
DIY checks: what’s safe
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
How we price storm damage roof reports
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- House, block, shop or office
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Which survey package you book
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Booking your survey
There’s no need for technical words. It’s enough to tell us:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Boundstone
Landlords and building managers often need a written record after a storm. It helps when explaining damage to a building owner or insurer.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Water coming in after the storm
Take a building like St Peter's CofE Primary School: a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside.
What to check before booking
- What insurance they carry
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Boundstone
In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. Farnham Castle, about 2 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Boundstone. 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 a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Landlords with a home close to Farnham station may find that tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. Homes near green spaces such as Underdown nature reserve can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

What happens on the day
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. A visit to a smaller place like Boundstone is no different on the day: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. It helps to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Before the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
How to book
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or email us to find out.

Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. If it’s safe, photograph the damage before it’s covered. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Raise it with your insurer first. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that does not resolve it. The Ombudsman asks about storm conditions, whether the damage is consistent with a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
