What a storm damage roof report looks like in Brockhill
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. The wider area around Brockhill has a long history of building, with St Leonard's Hill about 3.4 miles north-east. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Landlords with a home close to Martins Heron station may find that a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Mary, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. Shop and office owners around The Lexicon may find that a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters.

Storm damage roof report in Brockhill
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. It sets out what is damaged, with photos, and what we think the likely cause is. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We are not loss adjusters, and we can’t tell you whether a claim will succeed. We survey gutters and fascias, flashings and chimney stacks, and common reasons people get in touch are new damp or leaks inside and gutters pulled loose in the wind.
Somewhere as small as Brockhill, older roofs have often been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you are thinking of an insurance claim. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Brockhill
Do you cover Brockhill?
Yes, Brockhill is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and South East England. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details.
Is my home in Brockhill 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.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Complain to your insurer first. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, but we cannot say how it will turn out.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
What if the roof was already worn?
Wear and tear is not usually covered. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. Your insurer decides the claim.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. If it is safe, take photos before it goes on. We can record the damage in our report.
Do you look in the loft space?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Towns and villages near Brockhill
What else we do in Brockhill
Different roofs, different checks
Lead flashings
Lifted flashings let rain run behind them into the roof. The report records the flashing and any damp inside.
Slate roofs
After strong winds, we often see cracked and slipped slates. We photograph and describe each one.
Practical tips
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. You’ll have your own independent record to refer to.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Brockhill
It helps to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. For older village homes like those around Brockhill, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, from £400 inc. VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
What you get with us
- Customer satisfaction of 98%
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Drones and thermal imaging where it applies

Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
How the survey works
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Rural addresses near Brockhill can be hard to find from a postcode alone, 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.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We look at the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Jot down any questions you want answered
Arrange a survey
