Thursley Storm Damage Roof Report
A careful look at the roof at your property in Thursley, with photos and a written report.

How a storm damage roof report works in Thursley
The Financial Ombudsman looks at three things when it considers a storm damage complaint: were there storm conditions on or around the date, is the damage consistent with a storm, and was the storm the main cause. Our report focuses on the second and third points. Weather records for the date are for you or your insurer to check. If you’ve noticed holes or cracks caused by debris and ridge tiles that have come loose, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Being in a small place like Thursley makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Will you come out to Thursley?
Yes. Thursley is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed when booking.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Wear and tear is not typically covered. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
Only your insurer can decide that. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.

Thursley roofs and the weather
In Surrey, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many 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. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
If you own a rental within reach of Witley station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
Thursley is about 5 miles south-east of Farnham, in Surrey. If you are in Thursley, booking works exactly as it does anywhere else: a call or an email, a price, then a date. We cover towns and villages across Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. We also survey roofs in Guildford.

What happens on the day
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take about one to two hours at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Rural addresses near Thursley can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Thursley
A storm frequently finds a roof’s existing weak spots. Nail fatigue, eroded ridge mortar and tired flashings can all fail in high winds. Our report notes both the storm damage and any older wear.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Loose or torn flashings
If you live in an older home near Church of St Michael and All Angels, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- What experience they bring
- Which limits apply to the survey
- What happens after the report arrives
- When you will get the report
Why get it checked now?
The sooner the damage is recorded, the clearer the evidence. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, with VAT included.

What you can safely check yourself
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
Before and after the survey
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
For repair costs, ask a roofer to quote. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
