Storm Damage Roof Report in Chilton Green
An independent record of roof damage after a storm for Chilton Green, from an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photos.
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- New damp or leaks inside
How a storm damage roof report works in Chilton Green
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from ground level, from windows and higher points, from the roof space and from the roof where it is safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. We note any part we couldn’t see. You get a written report with photos to give to your insurer. We survey flashings, ridges and hips and flat roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are flat roof edges peeled back and new damp or leaks inside.
Many homes in small places like Chilton Green face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Storm damage roof reports around Chilton Green
Chilton Green lies within about 1 mile of the sea, so there is more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Strong wind lifts anything already loose, and driving rain gets in wherever it can, while salt slowly corrodes metal fixings and flashings. Some villages on the Isle of Wight still have thatched roofs, and nowhere on the island is far from the sea. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed.
For an older house near a landmark like St Peter and St Paul's Church, leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. Mottistone Manor lies about 0.9 miles north-west, so building around Chilton Green goes back a long way. Older roofs around here can leak at old repairs as readily as at original details.

Checking the roof from ground level
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.
How the survey works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes an hour or two for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. Around Chilton Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is 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.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- 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.
Before the survey
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent

When to book a survey in Chilton Green
Others book after an insurer has queried a claim. You get an independent record of what the roof shows. What happens next is up to the insurer.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Lead lifted at abutments
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Brighstone Church of England Aided Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
Before you book anyone
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- What experience they bring
What we look for on each type of roof
Ridge and hip tiles
Worn mortar under ridge tiles can let them lift in a storm. We note whether the mortar looks recently broken or long worn.
Chimney stacks
Pots, cowls and aerials on chimneys can be damaged or dislodged in a storm. The report notes any damage to the stack.
FAQs for Chilton Green
How do I find out if my home in Chilton Green is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Chilton Green within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
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.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. We can record the damage in our report.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It varies by policy. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but check your own wording.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
Only your insurer can decide that. We record the damage, with photographs and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Chilton Green?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Prices for storm damage roof reports in Chilton Green
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Which survey package you book
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
