Storm Damage Roof Report in Broxhill
An independent record of roof damage after a storm for Broxhill, from an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photographs.
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
When to book a survey in Broxhill
Flat roofs can be damaged too. Coverings can tear or peel back at the edges, and water can pond where outlets are blocked. We record what we find on flat and pitched roofs alike.
Problems we come across often include:
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Roofs hit by falling trees
The streets around a church such as Church of St James are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.
What to check before booking
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- When you will get the report
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- What insurance they carry
About our storm damage roof report in Broxhill
Wear and tear is typically excluded from home insurance. So it matters whether the damage came from the storm or from a roof that was already worn. We note signs of each: recent damage alongside any older defects, like nail fatigue on slates or eroded pointing. We give an honest view of what we see. Your insurer then decides how its policy applies. Typical surveys look at lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and damage from fallen branches or debris, across ridges and hips, slate and tile slopes and gutters and fascias.
Being in a small place like Broxhill makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned in advance. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Leaks and storm damage in Broxhill
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
In and around Broxhill, as anywhere, a roof is easiest to deal with when its problems are found early.

Tips from our surveys
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
Questions about the findings are always welcome. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
What a survey costs
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- How big the roof is
- Height and safe access
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
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.
Getting in touch
What helps most when you contact us:
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- The property’s address and postcode
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can ring 07833 053749 or email us to find out.
What we do, step by step
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take about 1–2 hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. Somewhere as small as Broxhill, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Before the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
Book a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Questions from Broxhill
Do you cover smaller places like Broxhill?
Yes. Broxhill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How do I find out if my home in Broxhill is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
How experienced are you?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, though we can’t predict the outcome.
What’s the best way to book?
It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Tell us the address and a little about the roof. We survey seven days a week.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. Take photos from the ground first if it’s safe. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.

How the survey changes by roof type
Slate roofs
Slates frequently outlast the nails that hold them. The report records whether slipped slates look like storm damage or older wear.
Chimney stacks
Pots, cowls and aerials on chimneys can be damaged or dislodged in a storm. We record any damage we can see.
For landlords and managing agents
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed in advance. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the addresses.
