Storm damage roof report in Tilford Common: what you get
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. It is yours to pass to your insurer. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We’re not loss adjusters, and we can’t tell you whether a claim will succeed. We survey chimney stacks, flat roofs and slate and tile slopes, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged ridges and hips and damaged flat roof membrane.
For a small place like Tilford Common, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
After the visit, you get a report with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
Our packages start from £150, including VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Roof area
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.

Tips from our surveys
You do not need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. You will have your own independent record to refer to.
Store invoices and reports for any roof work. They help show the roof was in good order before a storm.
How it works
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey usually takes an hour or two on an ordinary house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Older roofs in small places like Tilford Common can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- 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’s safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Getting ready for the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
Getting a price
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Why get it checked now?
It is useful to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Further storms and quick fixes can make the picture less clear. In a small place like Tilford Common, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
Why book us in Tilford Common

DIY checks: what’s safe
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
Storm damage roof reports in Tilford Common: local notes
Older houses across Surrey frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. 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. Farnham Castle, about 3.9 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Tilford Common. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Homes near green spaces such as Thundry Meadows can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. Anyone responsible for a site like All Saints CofE Aided Infant School will know that tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. Landlords with a home close to Farnham station may find that a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away.

Questions from Tilford Common
Is my home in Tilford Common listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Tilford Common in the area you cover?
Yes, Tilford Common is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Only from ground level or from windows. Do not use a ladder or go onto the roof. Binoculars can help you see damage from below, and we’ll record the rest.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
Raise it with your insurer first. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that doesn’t resolve it. The Ombudsman asks about storm conditions, whether the damage is consistent with a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
