Burridge Storm Damage Roof Report
Find out what’s going on with the roof before you spend money on it. We carry out storm damage roof reports in Burridge.
- New damp or leaks inside
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Roofs hit by falling trees
Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
Questions about the findings are always welcome. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.
How a storm damage roof report works in Burridge
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It is not a repair quote and does not include repair costs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for that. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. We survey slate and tile slopes, flat roofs and gutters and fascias, and common reasons people get in touch are flat roof edges peeled back and water coming in after the storm.
Roofs in small places like Burridge often stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Roofs we survey in Burridge
- Slate and tile slopes
- Flashings
- Gutters and fascias
- Ridges and hips
- Chimney stacks
- Flat roofs
Roof by roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Broken or missing tiles leave the underlay exposed to rain. We photograph each gap.
Lead flashings
Flashings can lift or pull away from walls and chimneys in strong winds. Loose or damaged flashings are photographed and noted.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Your policy may say how quickly you need to report damage. Check the wording and tell your insurer as soon as you can. Our report can then add a clear record. Older cottages and farmhouses around Burridge can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Burridge?
Insurers often want evidence of what has been damaged and why. An independent report gives you a clear record to send. Your insurer still makes the decision.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Water coming in after the storm
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Whiteley Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

FAQs for Burridge
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Burridge, take more of a battering?
It can do. Within about 4 miles of the sea, as Burridge is, metal fixings wear faster and gales find any loose ridge or slate.
Will you come out to Burridge?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
We can’t say whether a claim will be paid. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. If you’re still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. An independent report can add to your evidence, but we cannot say how it will turn out.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.

Leaks and storm damage in Burridge
Burridge is within about 4 miles of the coast, so storms can arrive with strong gusts off the water. What counts as a storm is set by each policy, frequently gusts of around 55 mph, and the insurer makes the decision. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask.
If you own a rental within reach of Swanwick station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away.

The survey, step by step
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. Most surveys take an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Around Burridge, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We look at the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Leave a clear route to the loft
