Adgestone: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Adgestone is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Adgestone?
Frequently, yes. Within about 2 miles of the sea, as Adgestone is, metal fixings wear faster and gales find any loose ridge or slate.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
What if the roof was already worn?
Wear and tear is normally excluded from home insurance. We note both storm damage and older defects, so it’s clear what we found. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
Will you check the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Stay off the roof. Take photos from ground level or from windows. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
Storm damage roof report in Adgestone: what you get
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there’s access, and the roof itself where that is safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. We note any part we couldn’t see. You get a written report with photos to give to your insurer. Common reasons to book are loose or broken chimney pots and cowls and torn or lifted flat roof coverings, across flat roofs, gutters and fascias and chimney stacks.
In a village or hamlet like Adgestone, older cottages and farmhouses frequently have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

What else we do in Adgestone
DIY checks: what’s safe
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Leave it or get it looked at?
A clear, independent record helps you explain the damage to your insurer. It records the damage and what seems to have caused it, so you are not relying only on your own photos. In a small place like Adgestone, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

What we can’t see
We only report everything that’s safely in view on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- Estimates of repair costs
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- A decision on your insurance claim

How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Rural addresses near Adgestone can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the roof space where it is safe.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- The findings are written up with photos for you to share with your insurer.
How to prepare
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
How to book
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or email us and give us a few details about the property and we will suggest the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

For landlords and managing agents
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.

Storm damage roof reports around Adgestone
The coast is about 2 miles or less from Adgestone, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. In a coastal gale, rain is driven sideways into laps, verges and flashings, while salt slowly corrodes metal fixings and flashings. Thatch survives on some older Isle of Wight buildings, and sea air and wind reach every part of the island. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
Hotels and guest houses near Adgestone can’t easily close rooms for a leak. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St. John the Evangelist, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. If you own a rental within reach of Sandown station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
