Storm damage roof report in Honey Hill
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. Our report shows the damage in photos and says whether it looks like storm damage, wear and tear, or a mix. We aren’t loss adjusters, and we cannot say whether a claim will be paid. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. Common reasons to book are loose or torn flashings and holes or cracks caused by debris, across slate and tile slopes, gutters and fascias and flat roofs.
Many homes in small places like Honey Hill face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

For landlords and managing agents
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.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Knowing whether older wear played a part helps you understand your position. Our report gives an honest view of both, so you know what the roof shows. In a small place like Honey Hill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.

The survey, step by step
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. All told, expect an hour or two on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Rural addresses near Honey Hill can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Getting ready for the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
Booking a survey
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or email us.

When you need someone else
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
- Areas we cannot see safely
- Acting for you with the insurer
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will recommend the right survey. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
Roof types and parts we check
- Flat roofs
- Chimney stacks
- Slate and tile slopes
- Gutters and fascias
- Flashings
- Ridges and hips
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.
Slate roofs
Broken slates and slates that have slid out of place are common after a storm. Each area is photographed and described.
Common roof problems in Honey Hill
Branches and trees often come down on roofs during storms. The report shows what was hit and the damage caused, with photographs.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- New damp or leaks inside
- Loose or torn flashings
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
Take an older house close to Church of St Cosmus and St Damian: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

Common questions in Honey Hill
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Honey Hill, 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 Honey Hill is within about 3 miles of the coast.
Will you come out to Honey Hill?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
That is not something we can promise. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Our reports start from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. The report doesn’t include repair costs.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. Our report then records the roof.
How do I book a survey in Honey Hill?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us the address and what you’d like to know. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Honey Hill roofs and the weather
Honey Hill lies within about 3 miles of the sea, where storms can bring strong gusts off the sea. What counts as a storm is set by each policy, often gusts of around 55 mph, and the insurer makes the decision. If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
