Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Bramley
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: 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 slates and tiles blown off the roof and lead lifted at abutments, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Houses in smaller places like Bramley can stand more in the open, where driving rain gets into any gap at a ridge, verge or flashing. If a leak shows only when the wind is in a certain direction, that is a useful clue. It’s useful to know when and where the water appears. The gutters on the most exposed side can overflow too.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Bramley roofs and the weather
About 1.9 miles south-west lies The Vyne, a reminder of how long the area around Bramley has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
If you own a rental within reach of Bramley (Hants) station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. The streets around a church like Church of St James are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

What else we do in Bramley
Honest limits
To be straight with you, a roof survey has limits:
- How your policy defines a storm
- A decision on your insurance claim
- Acting for you with the insurer
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll suggest the right survey before you book. The full list of what we check.
What we check
- Flat roofs
- Slate and tile slopes
- Ridges and hips
- Flashings
- Gutters and fascias
- Chimney stacks
When to book a survey in Bramley
Others book after an insurer has queried a claim. You get an independent record of what the roof shows. We cannot say whether the decision will change.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Water coming in after the storm
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
Anyone responsible for a site like Bramley Church of England Primary School will know that a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside.
Questions to ask before you book
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- How soon the report will arrive
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- File receipts for anything you pay for
If you are 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.
Keep records of roof work and surveys. They can help show the roof was looked after.
What a survey costs
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The shape of the roof and its details
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Getting in touch
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It is useful to include:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- What’s prompted the survey
- Anything about access we should know
- The property’s address and postcode
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
What happens on the day
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take an hour or two for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Bramley, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we can’t get to. The loft, where there is safe access, completes the picture.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
Book a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

FAQs for Bramley
Is Bramley within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Bramley?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Bramley is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only if it’s safe. We check everything that can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. If it’s safe, photograph the damage before it’s covered. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We aren’t loss adjusters and don’t act for you with the insurer. We give you an independent report of the damage, which you can pass to your insurer.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when you book.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
For landlords and managing agents
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Bramley. For a price for a let property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
