Leaks and storm damage in Bramshott Chase
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
If you own a rental within reach of Haslemere station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Luke, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

About our storm damage roof report in Bramshott Chase
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Take photos from the ground or from windows, and don’t climb onto the roof. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. If you’ve noticed torn or lifted flat roof coverings and loose or torn flashings, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Roofs in small places like Bramshott Chase frequently stand in the open, 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.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photographs show what each point refers to.

Why get it checked now?
Leaving storm damage can let water into the roof space and rooms below. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. For an older or listed building in a place like Bramshott Chase, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Bramshott Chase?
Gusts work at anything on a roof that is loose or exposed. Driving rain then gets in through the gaps. People normally call us after a storm, once they’ve noticed damage or a leak.
Common reasons to book include:
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Damaged flat roof membrane
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Woolmer Hill School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
Before booking anyone
- When you’ll get the report
- What the survey will not cover
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- What exactly goes into their report
What happens on the day
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Around Bramshott Chase, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
How to prepare
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Check pets are kept safely away

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Bramshott Chase
Will you come out to Bramshott Chase?
Yes, Bramshott Chase is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bramshott Chase?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
How do I book a survey in Bramshott Chase?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof. Surveys run seven days a week.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
Each policy has its own definition. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but check your own wording.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we are given access to.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. An independent report can add to your evidence, but we can’t say how it will turn out.
What if the roof was already worn?
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. We note both storm damage and older defects, so you know what the roof shows. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
