Storm damage roof report in Lower Bourne: what you get
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. You get a written report with photos 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. If you are worried about damage from fallen branches or debris and gutters pulled loose in the wind, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In older homes around places like Lower Bourne, the underlay may be old bitumen felt, or there may be none at all. Once the slates or tiles let water past, there is little to stop it reaching the ceiling. Whether it’s long-term wear or recent damage makes a difference to what happens next. In the loft, damp battens or wet insulation are frequently the first clues.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

Before and after the survey
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
Once we’ve been, the findings are written up with photos. It covers the damage, its likely cause and any older defects. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Your policy may say how quickly you need to report damage. Let your insurer know early, and check what your policy asks for. Our report can then add a clear record. Blocked gutters on homes around Lower Bourne overflow and soak walls, especially where trees overhang. Dealing with the cause is simple; drying out a wall is not.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

Questions from Lower Bourne
Will you come out to Lower Bourne?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.

Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Lower Bourne is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Safely, from ground level or a window. Don’t use a ladder or go onto the roof. Binoculars can help you see damage from below and we will inspect the rest from safe positions.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Lower Bourne
Branches and trees often come down on roofs during storms. The report shows what was hit and the damage caused, backed up with photos.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- New damp or leaks inside
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
If you look after a building such as Farnham College, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
Questions to ask before you book
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- What exactly goes into their report
- Their report turnaround times
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
Landlords, agents and block managers in Lower Bourne
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed ahead of time. We survey on any day of the week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
How it works
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. The whole visit normally takes about one to two hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. A visit to a smaller place like Lower Bourne is no different on the day: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. It’s useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We look at 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
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
Book a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Lower Bourne
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. Historic houses like Farnham Castle, about 1.6 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Lower Bourne goes. 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.
If you own a rental within reach of Farnham station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. If you live near a park such as Underdown nature reserve, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
