Farnham Royal: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Farnham Royal is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a 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.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Farnham Royal?
Yes, Farnham Royal is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Farnham Royal as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. Repair costs are not included, so ask a roofer to quote.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Most policies do not 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 use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Farnham Royal?
Simply call 07833 053749 or email us with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
It varies by policy. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but check your own wording.
How a storm damage roof report works in Farnham Royal
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. It’s a written report with photos, sent by email. It is not a repair quote and does not include repair costs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. Common reasons to book are slipped or missing slates or tiles and broken or displaced guttering, on slate and tile slopes, flat roofs and ridges and hips.
Somewhere as small as Farnham Royal, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
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.

Storm damage roof reports in Farnham Royal: local notes
Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. About 3.3 miles west lies Cliveden, a reminder of how long the area around Farnham Royal has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Living close to Cocksherd Wood is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

Advice
When to book a survey in Farnham Royal
Insurers often want evidence of what has been damaged and why. A written report with photos gives you something clear to pass on. Your insurer still makes the decision.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Damaged pots on the stack
- New damp or leaks inside
- Lead lifted at abutments
If you let a flat or house near Burnham station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What experience they bring
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Are they insured for the work?
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
What a storm damage roof report doesn’t cover
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:

- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
