About our storm damage roof report in Bramling
After a storm, it helps to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. Our report shows the damage in photos and says whether it looks like storm damage, wear and tear, or a mix. We are not loss adjusters, and we can’t say whether a claim will be paid. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. Typical surveys look at flat roof edges peeled back and gaps where slates or tiles have gone, across ridges and hips, flashings and flat roofs.
Somewhere as small as Bramling, older roofs have often been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. We look at whatever is safely visible and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Storm damage roof reports around Bramling
Historic houses such as Goodnestone Park, about 2.1 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Bramling goes. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
Anyone responsible for a site like Wingham Primary School will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. If you own a rental within reach of Adisham station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. Take an older house close to Church of St John: water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

Bramling questions
Do you cover smaller places like Bramling?
Yes, Bramling is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Is Bramling in the area you cover?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Bramling is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
How long will you be at the property?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof, but most surveys take about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The written report follows by email.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Your policy may say how quickly you need to report damage. Check the wording and tell your insurer as soon as you can. An independent report can follow. For older village homes like those around Bramling, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both inc. VAT. We confirm the price for the job before you book.

What happens on the day
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes between one and two hours at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In a hamlet or village like Bramling, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- 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.
Before the survey
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
Booking a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.

What you can safely check yourself
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
Tips from our surveys
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
