Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Frensham
Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies by policy. Check your own policy wording. We do not decide whether a storm met that test. Our part is recording the damage to your roof and its likely cause. The report includes photographs of each area of damage, and you decide what to send. The claim decision rests with your insurer. If you are worried about roofs hit by falling trees and gutters pulled loose in the wind, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Many homes in small places like Frensham face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Frensham?
Landlords and managing agents book reports to keep a record for owners and insurers. The report can be shared with owners, tenants or insurers.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
Homes near green spaces such as The Flashes can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn.

How it works
The visit has one job: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It normally takes about one to two hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Older rural homes like those around Frensham can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Before we arrive
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Check pets are kept safely away
How to book
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We will explain the options and the price.

What wind speed counts as a storm?
Each policy has its own definition. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but your policy sets the actual test.
How are storm damage reports priced?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. Repair costs aren’t part of the report.
Checking the roof from ground level
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Storm damage roof reports around Frensham
In Surrey, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. Historic houses such as Farnham Castle, about 3.6 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Frensham goes. 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 Farnham station may find that a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. The streets around a church like Church of St Mary the Virgin are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.
