How a storm damage roof report works in Millbrook
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Take photos from the ground or from windows, and don’t climb onto the roof. Emergency temporary protection, such as covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. Typical surveys look at new damp or leaks inside and flat roof edges peeled back, on slate and tile slopes, flat roofs and gutters and fascias.
Houses in smaller places like Millbrook can stand more in the open, where driving rain gets into any gap at a ridge, verge or flashing. If a leak shows only when the wind is in a certain direction, that’s a useful clue. It helps to know when and where the water appears. Gutters and downpipes on the exposed side are worth a look as well.
It is not only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Common questions in Millbrook
Is my home in Millbrook listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Millbrook within the area you cover?
Yes, Millbrook is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
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.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Millbrook?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Larger or more complex roofs are quoted for their size. It does not include repair costs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for those.
Storm damage roof reports in Millbrook: local notes
Millbrook lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. In a coastal gale, rain is driven sideways into laps, verges and flashings, and salt air slowly wears metal fixings. Historic houses such as Southampton Tudor House and Garden, about 2.2 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Millbrook goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Living close to St James' Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. If you look after a building such as Tanners Brook Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
Millbrook is about 2 miles west of Southampton, in Southampton. We survey roofs in Millbrook and the rest of Southampton. Millbrook is one of the towns and villages in Southampton we cover.

DIY checks: what’s safe
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.

Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.

What else we do in Millbrook
How the survey changes by roof type
Clay and concrete tiles
Strong gusts can lift and break tiles. We record which are damaged and where.
Flat roof coverings
Wind can lift the edges of flat roof coverings or tear them. We record any damage and where it is.
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Millbrook
Others book after an insurer has queried a claim. An independent report gives you another view of the roof. We can’t say whether the decision will change.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Loose or torn flashings
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Trinity, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.
What to check before booking
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Which limits apply to the survey
- What exactly goes into their report
The survey, step by step
It’s useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a smaller place like Millbrook, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. Low roofs on bungalows can frequently be seen well from the ground, and the loft shows the rest, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where applicable.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We look at the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Before the survey
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Jot down any questions you want answered
