Storm damage roof report in Broughton
High winds typically affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. If you’re worried about stains appearing after strong winds and gutters pulled loose in the wind, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In older homes around places like Broughton, the underlay may be old bitumen felt, or there may be none at all. Once the slates or tiles let water past, there’s little to stop it reaching the ceiling. Whether it’s long-term wear or recent damage makes a difference to what happens next. Wet battens and insulation in the loft are often the first clue.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

FAQs for Broughton
Do you cover smaller places like Broughton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Broughton?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
How long does the survey take?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take about one to two hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. The written report follows by email.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is usually excluded from home insurance. We note both storm damage and older defects, so it’s clear what we found. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. Repair costs aren’t included, so ask a roofer to quote.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
It varies by policy. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but your policy sets the actual test.
Leaks and storm damage in Broughton
The wider area around Broughton has a long history of building, with Linford Manor about 3.1 miles north-west. 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. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
If you let a flat or house near Woburn Sands station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. The streets around a church such as St Lawrence's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

When to book a survey in Broughton
A storm frequently finds a roof’s existing weak spots. Nail fatigue, eroded ridge mortar and tired flashings can all fail in high winds. Our report notes both the storm damage and any older wear.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Loose or torn flashings
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
Shop and office owners around Midsummer Place may find that water through a ceiling can damage stock and close a sales floor, so the source needs finding fast.

What happens on the day
We look at the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is safe access, from inside the loft space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit usually takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. For a survey in Broughton, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- 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
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
