Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Foreland Fields
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. It is a report with photographs, sent by email. It isn’t a repair quote and doesn’t include repair costs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for that. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. Common reasons to book are torn or lifted flat roof coverings and loose or broken chimney pots and cowls, on flat roofs, chimney stacks and slate and tile slopes.
For a small place like Foreland Fields, 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, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

Wind, rain and roofs in Foreland Fields
Foreland Fields lies within about 1 mile of the sea, so storms can arrive with strong gusts off the water. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording, and many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, though it varies. About 2.6 miles west lies Yaverland Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Foreland Fields has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Take a building like Bembridge Church of England Primary School: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. If you let a flat or house near Brading station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Foreland Fields
Some people book because a claim has been questioned. An independent report gives you another view of the roof. What happens next is up to the insurer.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
The streets around a church such as Saint Luke are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- What happens after the report arrives
- Are they insured for the work?
Questions from Foreland Fields
Do you cover smaller places like Foreland Fields?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Is the coastal weather around Foreland Fields hard on roofs?
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 I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access; we’ll agree the details when you book.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. It does not include repair costs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for those.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we will take it from there. Surveys run seven days a week.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it’s safe. We check everything that can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
Leave it or get it looked at?
If a roofer needs to make the roof safe, take photos first if you can do so safely from the ground. That keeps a record of how it looked. For an older or listed building in a place like Foreland Fields, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

Checking the roof from ground level
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
What we do, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes about 1–2 hours for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. You are welcome to ask questions while we’re there. In a small place like Foreland Fields, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Advice
What we can’t see
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- How your policy defines a storm
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
- Estimates of repair costs
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or email us and we will suggest the right survey before you book. The full list of what we check.
