What we do, step by step
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. Most visits take between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Somewhere as small as Afton Park, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Getting ready for the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Afton Park
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. So it matters whether the damage came from the storm or from a roof that was already worn. Our report records both: recent damage alongside any older defects, like nail fatigue on slates or eroded pointing. We describe what we see, whichever way it points. Your insurer then decides how its policy applies. Typical surveys look at torn or lifted flat roof coverings and roofs hit by falling trees, on flat roofs, slate and tile slopes and chimney stacks.
Being in a small place like Afton Park makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Why act early in Afton Park
If a roofer needs to make the roof safe, take photos first if you can do so safely from ground level. Those photos show the damage as it was. For an older or listed building in a place like Afton Park, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.

Different roofs, different checks
Slate roofs
In high winds, slates can slip or go, often where nails have rusted. We record which slates have moved and any signs of older nail fatigue.
Flat roof coverings
Debris blown onto a flat roof can puncture the covering or block outlets. We record what we find.
Common roof problems in Afton Park
Branches and trees frequently come down on roofs during storms. The report shows what was hit and the damage caused, backed up with photos.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Water coming in after the storm
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Damaged flat roof membrane
Take an older house close to St. Agnes' Church: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

Storm damage roof reports in Afton Park: local notes
The coast is about 1 mile or less from Afton Park, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Strong wind lifts anything already loose, and driving rain gets in wherever it can, while salt slowly corrodes metal fixings and flashings. With Mottistone Manor about 3.8 miles south-east, Afton Park sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Take a building like All Saints Church of England Primary School: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
Afton Park is about 6 miles south of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. Surveys in Afton Park work the same way as everywhere we cover: a careful inspection, photographs and a written report.

Can I check my roof myself?
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
FAQs for Afton Park
Will you come out to Afton Park?
Yes. Afton Park is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Afton Park?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
How long will you be at the property?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof; most visits take about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The written report follows by email.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. If it’s safe, take photos before it goes on. Our report then records the roof.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
Each policy has its own definition. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but your policy sets the actual test.
