Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Hollington
Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies by policy. Your policy document sets out its own definition. Whether the weather met it is for your insurer. Our part is recording the damage to your roof and its likely cause. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. If you are worried about cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind and torn or lifted flat roof coverings, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Many homes in small places like Hollington face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
The report is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

What else we do in Hollington
Storm damage roof reports in Hollington: local notes
Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. About 0.8 miles north-west lies Stargroves, a reminder of how long the area around Hollington has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For landlords with property near Kintbury station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Thomas, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. If you look after a building like St Thomas' Church of England Infant School, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.

How the survey works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. Older roofs in small places like Hollington can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We view the roof from wherever it can be seen safely, including the loft where there is access.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

Advice
Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
If anything in the report isn’t clear, just ask us. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. They can damage the roof in high winds.
Why act early in Hollington
It’s useful to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.

Can I check my roof myself?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
What we can’t see
Before booking, it’s worth knowing what a survey won’t do:
- Estimates of repair costs
- A decision on your insurance claim
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer

Common questions in Hollington
Will you come out to Hollington?
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 when you book.
How do I find out if my home in Hollington is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
What’s the best way to book?
It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we will take it from there. Surveys run on any day of the week.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Safely, from ground level or a window. Do not use a ladder or go onto the roof. Binoculars can help you see damage from below, and we’ll record the rest.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It depends on your policy. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Check your policy wording.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
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.
