Wind, rain and roofs in Rowledge
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. With Farnham Castle about 2.6 miles north, Rowledge sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you own a rental within reach of Bentley (Hampshire) station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. Homes near green spaces like Underdown nature reserve can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn.

Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Rowledge
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. We survey flashings, chimney stacks and flat roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are gaps where slates or tiles have gone and broken or displaced guttering.
For a small place like Rowledge, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It’s useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Rowledge
Some people book because a claim has been questioned. You get an independent record of what the roof shows. What happens next is up to the insurer.
People normally book a survey after spotting one of these:
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Damaged flat roof membrane
Anyone responsible for a site like Rowledge Church of England Controlled Primary School will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Whether VAT is added on top
How it works
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes about one to two hours at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Somewhere as small as Rowledge, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Before the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Tell us about parking before the day

Why it’s worth a survey now in Rowledge
Your policy may say how quickly you need to report damage. Check the wording and tell your insurer as soon as you can. Our report can then add a clear record. For older village homes like those around Rowledge, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
Why book with us
- 5,000+ surveys completed
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- An independent look at the roof
- 20+ years’ experience
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
