Tips that help
You do not need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
If you’re 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.

How a storm damage roof report works in Rushmoor
What counts as a storm depends on your policy, though many use gusts of about 55 mph. Your policy document sets out its own definition. Whether the weather met it is for your insurer. Our part is recording the damage to your roof and its likely cause. The report includes photos of each area of damage, and you decide what to send. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. If you are worried about gaps where slates or tiles have gone and flat roof edges peeled back, we can find out what’s behind it.
Somewhere as small as Rushmoor, older roofs have often been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. We check everything that’s safely in view and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Storm damage roof reports around Rushmoor
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. Farnham Castle, about 4.8 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Rushmoor. 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.
For landlords with property near Farnham station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

Roof by roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Broken or missing tiles leave the underlay exposed to rain. We photograph each gap.
Lead flashings
When flashings lift, water can get behind them. The report records the flashing and any damp inside.
What happens on the day
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Cottages and farmhouses around Rushmoor often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent

Common questions in Rushmoor
Will you come out to Rushmoor?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you cover Rushmoor?
Yes, Rushmoor is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. If you are still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, though we cannot predict the outcome.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. If it is safe, take photos before it goes on. Our report then records the roof.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. We note both storm damage and older defects, so it’s clear what we found. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.

DIY checks: what’s safe
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
