About our storm damage roof report in Ashey
What counts as a storm depends on your policy, though many use gusts of about 55 mph. Check your own policy wording. Whether the weather met it is for your insurer. Our part is recording the damage to your roof and its likely cause. The report includes photographs of each area of damage, and you decide what to send. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. If you’ve noticed gutters pulled loose in the wind and damaged ridges and hips, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Roofs in small places like Ashey frequently stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Ashey
Ashey is within about 3 miles of the coast, so storms can arrive with strong gusts off the water. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies, and the insurer decides the claim. The wider area around Ashey has a long history of building, with Nunwell House about 1.5 miles south-east. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you look after a building such as Ryde Academy, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. If you own a rental within reach of Smallbrook Junction station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
Ashey is about 2 miles south-west of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. Ashey is part of the area we cover as part of our work across London and South East England. Our the Isle of Wight coverage includes Ashey. Portsmouth is in our area too.
Storm damage roof reports in PO33 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. We also cover the places around Ashey: Adgestone (2 miles south-east), Brading (2 miles south-east), Morton (2 miles south-east), Alverstone Garden Village (2 miles south) and Yarbridge (2 miles south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Newport (5 miles west), Cowes (7 miles north-west), Sandown (3 miles south), Shanklin (5 miles south), Ventnor (7 miles south) and East Cowes (6 miles north-west). If you are somewhere remote, a little more planning is needed, so mention it when you book.
What’s near Ashey
Ashey’s nearest station is Smallbrook Junction station, about 1.5 miles north-east. Other landmarks nearby include Sandown Castle (3.3 miles south-east) and Cothey Bottom Heritage Centre (2 miles north-east). Not far away are Briddlesford Nature Reserve and Brading Down.
Can I check my roof myself?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
With a portfolio of properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Questions from Ashey
Is Ashey within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Is my home in Ashey listed or in a conservation area?
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.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
Only your insurer can decide that. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
What’s the best way to book?
It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we will point you to the right survey. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
How long is the visit?
Most surveys take between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. The report follows by email.
What happens on the day
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It usually takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Older rural homes like those around Ashey can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- 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.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
