Storm damage roof report in Hambledon, Surrey
Wondering about the roof at a property in Hambledon? You can book a storm damage roof report in Hambledon and across Surrey, with plain-English findings.
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
Check the roof from the ground after strong winds. With binoculars, you can frequently spot problems without climbing. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Hambledon
Our storm damage report starts from £150. It’s a 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. We survey flashings, slate and tile slopes and gutters and fascias, and people most often book us about loose or broken chimney pots and cowls and slipped or missing slates or tiles.
Many homes in small places like Hambledon 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 record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, and recommendations are put by urgency where it matters.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Hambledon
How do I find out if my home in Hambledon is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Hambledon in the area you cover?
Yes, Hambledon is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Only from the ground or from windows. Don’t use a ladder or go onto the roof. With binoculars, you can see a lot from the ground, and we’ll record the rest.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
That is not something we can promise. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. If you are still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. An independent report can add to your evidence, though we cannot predict the outcome.
How it works
There isn’t much for you to do 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 between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In a small place like Hambledon, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We check the roof from wherever it is safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent

Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Advice
Leaks and storm damage in Hambledon
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Hambledon Church, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. Landlords with a home close to Witley station may find that finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. Take a building like St Dominic's School: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

How we price storm damage roof reports

- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The shape of the roof and its details
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details. We will confirm the figure before booking.
What we need to know
There is no need for technical words. Just let us know:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Where the property is, with the postcode
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email, let us know about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
What this survey can’t tell you
A survey is a proper look at the roof, but it can’t do everything. The main limits are:
- The outcome of a claim
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
- Areas we can’t see safely
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will tell you before you book. What a survey covers and does not.
What we check
- Flat roofs
- Ridges and hips
- Chimney stacks
- Flashings

- Slate and tile slopes
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Hambledon. To discuss a property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Damage left open lets in more rain. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. Emergency temporary protection should be arranged with a roofer. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Hambledon, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 inc. VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.
What you get with us
- Clear package prices, including VAT
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability
