Millbridge Storm Damage Roof Report

Storm damage roof report in Millbridge
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We are not loss adjusters and can’t tell you if your claim will succeed. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. If you’ve noticed holes or cracks caused by debris and loose or torn flashings, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Many homes in small places like Millbridge face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
After the visit, you get a report with photographs, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Useful tips for Millbridge property owners
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
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.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Millbridge
Before temporary repairs, photograph the damage from the ground if it’s safe. That keeps a record of how it looked. In a place like Millbridge, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT.
Why choose Independent Roof Survey in Millbridge
- Drones and thermal imaging where it applies
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Prices that include VAT
- Surveys seven days a week
How the survey changes by roof type
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles can lift, crack or blow off in high winds. We record which are damaged and where.
Flat roof coverings
Edge trims and laps are often where flat roof coverings start to peel back. We check whether the damage is recent or older.
What this survey can’t tell you
This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- Estimates of repair costs
- How your policy defines a storm
If you’re not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

Wind, rain and roofs in Millbridge
Farnham Castle, about 3.1 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Millbridge. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. 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. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary the Virgin: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. If you live near a park such as Underdown nature reserve, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. For landlords with property near Farnham station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
Millbridge is about 2 miles south of Farnham, in Surrey. If you’re in Millbridge, booking works exactly as it does anywhere else: a call or an email, a price, then a date.

The survey, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. For a village or hamlet like Millbridge, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Getting ready for the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Let us know about parking near the property

Advice
Landlords, agents and block managers in Millbridge
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. Surveys run on any day of the week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Tell us about it when booking and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
Millbridge: your questions answered
Is Millbridge in the area you cover?
Yes, Millbridge is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is my home in Millbridge listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Our reports start from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. The report doesn’t include repair costs.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. Take photos from the ground first if it’s safe. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
Will you check the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
Each policy has its own definition. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but your policy sets the actual test.
