Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Haslemere
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from ground level, from windows and higher points, from the roof space and from the roof where it is safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. We note any part we couldn’t see. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. If you’re worried about roofs hit by falling trees and new damp or leaks inside, we can find out what’s behind it, on slate and tile slopes, chimney stacks and flashings alike.
Around Haslemere, chimneys on older homes are a common source of leaks, through worn flaunching, failed pointing or lifted flashings. Damp in a chimney breast can have more than one cause, so it is not always obvious where it starts. It is worth looking at the stack from outside and at the timbers beside it in the loft.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible.

Wind, rain and roofs in Haslemere
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
For landlords with property near Haslemere station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. The streets around a church such as Church of St Christopher are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
What we look for on each type of roof
Lead flashings
Lifted flashings let rain run behind them into the roof. The report records the flashing and any damp inside.
Clay and concrete tiles
Broken or missing tiles leave the underlay exposed to rain. We photograph each gap.
What this survey can’t tell you
We only report whatever is safely visible on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- A decision on your insurance claim
- Your insurer’s view of the claim
- Estimates of repair costs
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll tell you. What our survey covers.

Haslemere: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in Haslemere?
Yes, Haslemere is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Haslemere as anywhere else.
Do you cover smaller places like Haslemere?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Start by complaining to the insurer. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that doesn’t resolve it. The Ombudsman asks about storm conditions, whether the damage is consistent with a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
There is no single figure. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Check your policy wording.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
How long will you be at the property?
Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The report follows by email.
What affects the price in Haslemere
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Roof area
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.
What we need to know
We’ll typically ask about:
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Where the property is, with the postcode
You can call us seven days a week. For a price or to book, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
What happens on the day
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Being in a smaller place like Haslemere does not change how the visit works: we look from ground level, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it is safe. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- You tell us when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there is access.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- The findings are written up with photos for you to share with your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

- Damaged flat roof membrane
- New damp or leaks inside
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
