About our storm damage roof report in Broughton
Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies by policy. Check your own policy wording. We do not decide whether a storm met that test. We record the damage and what seems to have caused it. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. The claim decision rests with your insurer. If you’ve noticed torn or lifted flat roof coverings and gutters pulled loose in the wind, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Broughton, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Storm damage roof reports in Broughton: local notes
Historic houses such as Mottisfont Abbey, about 3.9 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Broughton goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
If you look after a building such as Broughton Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Damage left open lets in more rain. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. Emergency temporary protection should be arranged with a roofer. For older village homes like those around Broughton, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.

Can I check my roof myself?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey.

What happens on the day
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a hamlet or village like Broughton, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, 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.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
How to book
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or send us an email, and we will ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Advice
FAQs for Broughton
Is Broughton in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Broughton?
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.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Insurers usually exclude wear and tear. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. Your insurer decides the claim.
How many surveys have you done?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
It depends on your policy. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Your policy document will say.
When you need someone else
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Estimates of repair costs
- Your insurer’s view of the claim
- Negotiating a claim settlement
