Storm Damage Roof Report in Brookhampton
Storm damage roof reports around Brookhampton, with findings in writing and pictures to back them up. Weekday and weekend visits available.
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Water coming in after the storm
What we do, 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 roof space where it can be reached. In total, it takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Around Brookhampton, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- 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.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

About our storm damage roof report in Brookhampton
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. Our report records both: recent damage alongside any older defects, like nail fatigue on slates or eroded pointing. We give an honest view of what we see. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. If you’ve noticed cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind and stains appearing after strong winds, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Roofs in small places like Brookhampton often stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. 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.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Storm damage roof reports in Brookhampton: local notes
The wider area around Brookhampton has a long history of building, with Garsington Manor about 2.7 miles north-west. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. Older buildings in west Oxfordshire often have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Stadhampton Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. For landlords with property near Radley station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

Common questions in Brookhampton
Is Brookhampton in the area you cover?
Yes, Brookhampton is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Brookhampton as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How do I find out if my home in Brookhampton is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Only from the ground or from windows. Don’t use a ladder or go onto the roof. Binoculars can help you see damage from below, and we’ll record the rest.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
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. Our report then records the roof.
Checking the roof from ground level
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Once the storm has passed, damage that looked minor can let water in for months. Acting quickly usually means less damage overall. In a small place like Brookhampton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.

When to book a survey in Brookhampton
Strong winds lift loose or poorly fixed slates and tiles, ridge pieces and flashings. Driving rain then gets in through the gaps. People typically call us after a storm, once they’ve noticed damage or a leak.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Damaged gutters and fascias
Take an older house close to Church of St John the Baptist: the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.
