Storm damage roof report in Bramshaw
High winds normally 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. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. We survey flat roofs, ridges and hips and slate and tile slopes, and people most frequently book us about loose or torn flashings and new damp or leaks inside.
Roofs in small places like Bramshaw often stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
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.

The survey, step by step
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. All told, expect an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a small place like Bramshaw, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We check the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
How to prepare

Bramshaw roofs and the weather
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. About 2.3 miles north lies Landford Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Bramshaw has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Bramshaw
A clear, independent record helps you explain the damage to your insurer. It records the damage and what seems to have caused it, alongside any photos you took yourself. In a place like Bramshaw, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Roof by roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Broken or missing tiles leave the underlay exposed to rain. Each gap is recorded with a photo.
Lead flashings
When flashings lift, water can get behind them. We note where this has happened and any damp inside.
What we are asked to look at in Bramshaw
Roofs that were already worn are more likely to suffer in a storm. Nail fatigue, eroded ridge mortar and tired flashings can all fail in high winds. We record recent damage alongside older defects.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Loose or torn flashings
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Damaged flat roof membrane
Take an older house close to Church of St Peter: leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Their track record with similar roofs
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Whether the price includes VAT
- What exactly goes into their report
Before and after the survey
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Check how your policy defines a storm
For repair costs, ask a roofer to quote. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
Honest limits
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Keep these in mind:
- Acting for you with the insurer
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
- Your insurer’s view of the claim
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will recommend the right survey. What our survey covers.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Bramshaw
Will you come out to Bramshaw?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Is my home in Bramshaw 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.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Our reports start from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. Repair costs aren’t part of the report.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Will you check the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Only from ground level or from windows. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. With binoculars, you can see a lot from the ground, and we’ll record the rest.
How long is the visit?
Time on site depends on the roof; most visits take about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The written report follows by email.
