Storm damage roof report in Flexford: what you get
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. We note signs of each: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems like corroded nails or worn mortar. We describe what we see, whichever way it points. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. We survey ridges and hips, slate and tile slopes and flat roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are roofs hit by falling trees and damaged flat roof membrane.
In a village or hamlet like Flexford, older cottages and farmhouses frequently have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. 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.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to.

Leaks and storm damage in Flexford
Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. Wanborough Manor, about 0.8 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Flexford. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Landlords with a home close to Wanborough station may find that a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. Take an older house close to Church of St Bartholomew: the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.
Flexford is about 4 miles east of Aldershot, in Surrey. Surveys in Flexford work the same way as everywhere we cover: a careful inspection, photos and a written report. Flexford is one of the towns and villages in Surrey we cover.

FAQs for Flexford
Do you cover Flexford?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and Flexford is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property.
Is Flexford within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Safely, from the ground or a window. Do not use a ladder or go onto the roof. Binoculars can help you see damage from below, and we’ll record the rest.
How do I book a survey in Flexford?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Give us the address and a few details about the roof. We survey seven days a week.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. If it is safe, take photos before it goes on. Our report then records the roof.
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. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.

How it works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, from ground level, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where applicable. The survey normally takes an hour or two at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a hamlet or village like Flexford, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We look at the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
Booking a survey
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and give us some details about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

- A decision on your insurance claim
- How your policy defines a storm
- Repair costs or quotes for the work

Roofs we survey in Flexford
- Slate and tile slopes
- Flat roofs
- Ridges and hips
- Chimney stacks
- Flashings
- Gutters and fascias
What we look for on each type of roof
Lead flashings
Flashings can lift or pull away from walls and chimneys in strong winds. We record which are loose or damaged.
Ridge and hip tiles
Worn mortar under ridge tiles can let them lift in a storm. Our report says whether it looks freshly damaged or worn over time.
Before and after the survey
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Don’t go onto the roof to take pictures
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Photograph damage inside the house too
If you are unhappy with how your insurer handles the claim, you can complain to them first. After that, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
