Wind, rain and roofs in Wrecclesham
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. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. With Farnham Castle about 1.6 miles north-east, Wrecclesham sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
Trees in and around Underdown nature reserve shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. If you own a rental within reach of Farnham station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away.

About our storm damage roof report in Wrecclesham
High winds usually affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Falling branches can cause damage too. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. We survey ridges and hips, slate and tile slopes and chimney stacks, and people most often book us about slates and tiles blown off the roof and broken or displaced guttering.
Around Wrecclesham, chimneys on older homes are a common source of leaks, at the flashings, the pointing or the mortar round the pots. Damp in a chimney breast can have more than one cause, so it isn’t always obvious where it starts. It is worth looking at the stack from outside and at the timbers beside it in the loft.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photograph. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

What we look for on each type of roof
Chimney stacks
Flashings around stacks can lift in strong winds. We photograph any we find.
Slate roofs
Slates often outlast the nails that hold them. We check whether slipped slates suggest storm damage, older wear or both.
What this survey cannot tell you
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Acting for you with the insurer
- Areas we cannot see safely
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll suggest the right survey before booking. The full list of what we check.
Roof types and parts we check

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Wrecclesham?
Gusts work at anything on a roof that’s loose or exposed. Driving rain then gets in through the gaps. People typically call us after a storm, once they’ve noticed damage or a leak.
Look out for signs like these:
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Damaged pots on the stack
- New damp or leaks inside
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
The streets around a church such as St Peter's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.
Questions to ask before booking
- What insurance they carry
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
Prices for storm damage roof reports in Wrecclesham
We confirm the price for your survey before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building

You do not need to know any roofing terms. Just let us know:
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- What made you get in touch
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them

Why act early in Wrecclesham
Your policy may say how quickly you need to report damage. Let your insurer know early, and check what your policy asks for. Our report can then add a clear record. Around Wrecclesham, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before booking.

Wrecclesham: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in Wrecclesham?
Yes, Wrecclesham is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Will you come out to Wrecclesham?
Yes, Wrecclesham is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
That is not something we can promise. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
How long does the survey take?
Expect it to take about one to two hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. You will then get the report by email, on the timescale of your package.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We aren’t loss adjusters and don’t act for you with the insurer. We give you an independent report of the damage for you to send to your insurer.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Larger or more complex roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs are not included, so ask a roofer to quote.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
Each policy has its own definition. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but your policy sets the actual test.
What we do, step by step
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. Most visits take between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In a smaller place like Wrecclesham, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from ground level, with the loft showing the underside, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where applicable.
- 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 is safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Before we arrive
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Leave side gates unlocked
