About our storm damage roof report in North Gorley
Our storm damage report starts from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It does not price the repairs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for that. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. We survey ridges and hips, slate and tile slopes and gutters and fascias, and common reasons people get in touch are broken or displaced guttering and damaged flat roof membrane.
Many homes in small places like North Gorley 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, with the urgent items made clear.

The survey, step by step
We’ll ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes an hour or two at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Older roofs in small places like North Gorley can have low, tight loft spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We look at the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at

What happens if roof problems are left?
Damage left open lets in more rain. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. Emergency temporary protection should be arranged with a roofer. In a place like North Gorley, 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 Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, which starts from £400, including VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Why book with us
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help
- Surveys seven days a week
- An independent view of the roof

Prices for storm damage roof reports in North Gorley
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The roof’s overall size
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
What to let us know when you get in touch
A little information up front helps. It helps to include:
- When you need the report by
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The address and postcode of the property
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Landlords, agents and block managers in North Gorley
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when you book and we will plan the survey around it.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget.
Practical tips
Getting the most from a storm damage roof report starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Check your policy for how to report damage
You’ll need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
Different roofs, different checks
Flat roof coverings
Debris blown onto a flat roof can puncture the covering or block outlets. Any damage is recorded with photos.
Lead flashings
Old flashings that were already loose can give way in a storm. Our report separates fresh damage from older wear where we can.
Leaks and storm damage in North Gorley
About 4.5 miles north lies Breamore House, a reminder of how long the area around North Gorley has been built on. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
Take a building like Hyde Church of England Primary School: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. If you live in an older home near Church of the Holy Ascension, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

Questions from North Gorley
Does a conservation area affect roof work in North Gorley?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you carry out roof surveys in North Gorley?
Yes, North Gorley is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. Take photos from the ground first if it’s safe. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not unless it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
