Storm damage roof reports in Hollington: local notes
The coast is about 2 miles or less from Hollington, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. In a coastal gale, rain is driven sideways into laps, verges and flashings, while salt slowly corrodes metal fixings and flashings. Durhamford Manor, about 4.8 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Hollington. 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 a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For landlords with property near St Leonards Warrior Square station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. The streets around a church like St Anne are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. If you live near a park like Old Roar Gill and Coronation Wood, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.

Storm damage roof report in Hollington
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 aren’t loss adjusters, and we can’t say whether a claim will be paid. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. If you’ve noticed stains appearing after strong winds and roofs hit by falling trees, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Houses in smaller places like Hollington can stand more in the open, where driving rain gets into any gap at a ridge, verge or flashing. If a leak shows only when the wind is in a certain direction, that is a useful clue. Let us know when it happens when you get in touch. Gutters and downpipes on the exposed side are worth a look as well.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

How the survey works
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is safe access, from inside the roof space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. The whole visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. A visit to Hollington is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed ahead of time. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Tell us about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- You let us know 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.

Hollington questions
Do you cover smaller places like Hollington?
Yes. Hollington is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
How do I find out if my home in Hollington is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
What if the roof was already worn?
Wear and tear is not normally covered. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We aren’t loss adjusters and do not act for you with the insurer. We give you an independent report of the damage for you to send to your insurer.
Practical tips
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
For repair costs, ask a roofer to quote. They can use our report to see what needs doing.
Store invoices and reports for any roof work. They help show the roof was in good order before a storm.
Why act early in Hollington
Knowing whether older wear played a part helps you understand your position. Our report gives an honest view of both, so there are no surprises later. In a smaller place like Hollington, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing doesn’t stay loose for long. Each storm lifts it a little further.
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.

Roof by roof
Ridge and hip tiles
The ridge and hips are among the most exposed parts of a roof. The survey notes loose, cracked or missing ridge and hip tiles.
Flat roof coverings
Branches and debris can damage flat roofs or block outlets. We record what we find.
Can I check my roof myself?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Hollington
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the survey around it.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
