What a storm damage roof report looks like in Chillerton
The coast is about 4 miles or less from Chillerton. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording, and many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, though it varies. The wider area around Chillerton has a long history of building, with Sheat Manor about 0.6 miles north-east. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you look after a building such as Chillerton and Rookley Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. Take an older house close to St. Olave's Church: lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

About our storm damage roof report in Chillerton
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We’re not loss adjusters and cannot tell you if your claim will succeed. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. We survey slate and tile slopes, flat roofs and flashings, and people most often book us about broken or displaced guttering and ridge tiles that have come loose.
In a village or hamlet like Chillerton, older cottages and farmhouses frequently have roofs that have been patched over many years. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What else we do in Chillerton
Landlord and commercial surveys in Chillerton
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. A photo-illustrated written report gives you a clear record of the roof.
The survey, step by step
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Around Chillerton, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- 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.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Before we arrive
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
How to book
Our phone lines are open seven days a week. For a price or to book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Different roofs, different checks
Chimney stacks
Pots, cowls and aerials on chimneys can be damaged or dislodged in a storm. We record any damage we can see.
Slate roofs
Slates can slip or blow off in a storm, particularly where the nails have corroded. Our report notes moved slates and any sign of older corrosion.
Tips that help
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
For repair costs, ask a roofer to quote. They can use our report to see what needs doing.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Chillerton
Damage left open lets in more rain. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. Older and listed buildings around Chillerton may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. You will know the price for the job before booking.
Why book with us
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- 5,000+ surveys completed

Chillerton questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Chillerton?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Chillerton, take more of a battering?
Generally, yes: wind and salt air take more of a toll near the sea. Exposed details such as ridges, verges, flashings and metal fixings are the ones to watch, and Chillerton is within about 4 miles of the coast.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We are not loss adjusters, and we do not negotiate claims. We provide an independent record of the roof, which you can pass to your insurer.
How do I book a survey in Chillerton?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us the address and what you need to know. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Do you look in the loft space?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. If it’s safe, photograph the damage before it’s covered. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. An independent report can add to your evidence, but we cannot say how it will turn out.
