Storm damage roof report in Arreton: what you get
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Take photos from the ground or from windows, and do not climb onto the roof. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. We survey chimney stacks, ridges and hips and flashings, and common reasons people get in touch are ridge tiles that have come loose and slipped or missing slates or tiles.
For a small place like Arreton, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Why act early in Arreton
Your policy may say how quickly you need to report damage. Let your insurer know early, and check what your policy asks for. Our report can then add a clear record. For an older or listed building in a place like Arreton, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.

How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roof coverings
Edge trims and laps are often where flat roof coverings start to peel back. We look at whether the damage is recent or older.
Chimney stacks
Older stacks with worn pointing or cracked flaunching are more likely to suffer. Our report notes recent damage and older defects.
Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Arreton
Is my home in Arreton listed or in a conservation area?
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.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Arreton?
Places near the sea get more wind and more salt in the air than inland, and both are hard on roofs. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, while strong wind lifts anything already loose.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Complain to your insurer first. If you’re still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, but we can’t say how it will turn out.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the freeholder or managing agent. Let us know about it when you book and we’ll explain what’s needed.
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 you know what the roof shows. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when booking.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Arreton
Arreton is within about 4 miles of the coast, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, and driving rain finds any gap they leave. Historic houses such as Arreton Manor, about 0.5 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Arreton goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
If you own a rental within reach of Sandown 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. George's Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.
Arreton is about 3 miles south-east of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Whether the building in Arreton is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, we can survey the roof on a weekday or at the weekend.

What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a photo-illustrated written report. As for time on site, it typically takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. For a village or hamlet like Arreton, the journey is planned ahead of time: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before we arrive
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
