Brockbridge Storm Damage Roof Report
We take a careful look at the roof at your property in Brockbridge, and put it all in a photo-illustrated written report.
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Damaged flat roof membrane
What we do, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey usually takes about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Somewhere as small as Brockbridge, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

Advice
Storm damage roof report in Brockbridge: what you get
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. 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 cannot tell you if your claim will succeed. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. Common reasons to book are loose or broken chimney pots and cowls and damage from fallen branches or debris, across slate and tile slopes, ridges and hips and gutters and fascias.
Many homes in small places like Brockbridge face open ground, 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 you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

Wind, rain and roofs in Brockbridge
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so check with the council. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary and All Saints, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. Anyone responsible for a site like Meonstoke Church of England Infant School will know that tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

Before and after the survey
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
Once we have been, the findings are written up with photos. It sets out what is damaged, the likely cause and any signs of older wear. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
What we look for on each type of roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Older tiles held only by nibs, without nails or clips, can lift more easily. We record what we can see of the fixings.
Slate roofs
Broken slates and slates that have slid out of place are common after a storm. We photograph and describe each one.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Brockbridge
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the survey around it.

Brockbridge questions
Is my home in Brockbridge listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you cover Brockbridge?
Yes, Brockbridge is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We inspect what can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
What if the roof was already worn?
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. We note both storm damage and older defects, so it’s clear what we found. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
Leave it or get it looked at?
With an independent report, you have something specific to show your insurer. It sets out what we found and the likely cause, alongside any photos you took yourself. Older cottages and farmhouses around Brockbridge can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
