Hulverstone Storm Damage Roof Report
Find out what’s going on with the roof before you spend money on it. Storm damage roof reports in Hulverstone.
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
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 about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a hamlet or village like Hulverstone, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You tell us when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We view the roof from wherever it can safely be seen, including the loft where there’s access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
Book a survey
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Storm damage roof report in Hulverstone: what you get
What counts as a storm depends on your policy, though many use gusts of about 55 mph. Your policy document sets out its own definition. We don’t decide whether a storm met that test. We record the damage and what seems to have caused it. The report includes photos of each area of damage, and you decide what to send. The claim decision rests with your insurer. We survey gutters and fascias, slate and tile slopes and flat roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are slipped or missing slates or tiles and lead lifted at abutments.
Being in a small place like Hulverstone makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

Common roof problems in Hulverstone
Falling trees and branches can damage roofs in high winds. The report shows what was hit and the damage caused, with photos.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Stains appearing after strong winds
Take an older house close to St. Mary's Church: lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.
Before you book anyone
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- When you will get the report
- Will the report include photos?
What we cannot see
This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- The outcome of a claim
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will point you to the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.

Questions from Hulverstone
How do I find out if my home in Hulverstone is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Hulverstone?
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 you cover Hulverstone for storm damage roof reports?
Yes. We survey roofs in Hulverstone and the rest of the Isle of Wight. To book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. If it is safe, photograph the damage before it’s covered. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Please do not climb onto the roof. Take photos from the ground or from windows. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
