What happens if roof problems are left?
Leaving storm damage can let water into the roof space and rooms below. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. Emergency temporary protection should be arranged with a roofer. Around Branstone, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we can help you choose.

Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Branstone
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Photograph the damage from ground level or a window, and never climb up. Emergency temporary protection, like covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. We survey gutters and fascias, flashings and flat roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are damaged flat roof membrane and damage from fallen branches or debris.
Many homes in small places like Branstone face open ground, 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 written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Questions from Branstone
How do I find out if my home in Branstone is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you cover smaller places like Branstone?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. It doesn’t include repair costs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for those.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Branstone?
Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
The survey, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes between one and two hours for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Rural addresses near Branstone can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photos.
How to prepare
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
How to book
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to phone 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We’ll explain the options and the price.
Advice
Tips that help
Getting the most from a storm damage roof report starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. If that does not resolve it, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.

Checking the roof from the ground
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book and it will help the survey.
Wind, rain and roofs in Branstone
Branstone lies within about 3 miles of the sea, so storms can arrive with strong gusts off the water. What counts as a storm is set by each policy, frequently gusts of around 55 mph, and the insurer makes the decision. A number of the island’s villages keep thatched roofs on older buildings, and nowhere on the island is far from the sea. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Newchurch Primary School, a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside. Haseley Manor lies about 1.2 miles north-west, so building around Branstone goes back a long way. Leaks in period homes nearby frequently come from lead work and valleys that have been patched before. If you own a rental within reach of Shanklin station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
