Storm Damage Roof Report in Braishfield
Find out the condition of the roof at your property in Braishfield from an independent roof surveyor. Visits run on weekdays and weekends, in the daytime.
- Water coming in after the storm
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Damaged gutters and fascias
Checking the roof from ground level
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
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.
About our storm damage roof report in Braishfield
Wear and tear is normally excluded from home insurance. So it matters whether the damage came from the storm or from a roof that was already worn. We note signs of each: recent damage alongside any older defects, like nail fatigue on slates or eroded pointing. We describe what we see, whichever way it points. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. If you’ve noticed cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind and damage from fallen branches or debris, we can find out what’s behind it, on slate and tile slopes, flat roofs and gutters and fascias alike.
Many homes in small places like Braishfield face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Braishfield
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. Historic houses like Mottisfont Abbey, about 3.3 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Braishfield goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Braishfield Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. Take an older house close to Church of All Saints: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. If you own a rental within reach of Romsey station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
