How a storm damage roof report works in Hunny Hill
We inspect the roof from wherever it can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows and higher points, from the roof space and from the roof where it is safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. If part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. If you’re worried about damaged ridges and hips and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a smaller place like Hunny Hill, some roofs face open ground, where driving rain gets into any gap at a ridge, verge or flashing. A leak that only appears in certain weather often points to an exposed detail. It’s useful to know when and where the water appears. Gutters and downpipes on the exposed side are worth a look as well.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Practical tips
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Take photos from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
If you are unhappy with how your insurer handles the claim, you can complain to them first. After that, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.

FAQs for Hunny Hill
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Hunny Hill?
Generally, yes: wind and salt air take more of a toll near the sea. Exposed details like ridges, verges, flashings and metal fixings are the ones to watch.
Is my home in Hunny Hill listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access when you book.
How long does the survey take?
Expect it to take about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Please don’t climb onto the roof. Take photos from the ground or from windows. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
We can’t say whether a claim will be paid. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.

Yes. We carry out storm damage roof reports in Hunny Hill.
Storm damage roof reports in Hunny Hill: local notes
The coast is about 4 miles or less from Hunny Hill, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, and driving rain finds any gap they leave. Some villages on the Isle of Wight still have thatched roofs, and the whole island is open to sea air and wind. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
Hotels and guest houses near Hunny Hill cannot easily close rooms for a leak, so it pays to find faults before guests do. Living close to Seaclose Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. Take a building like Hunnyhill Primary School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

DIY checks: what’s safe
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
Leave it or get it looked at?
The sooner the damage is recorded, the clearer the evidence. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. Around Hunny Hill, leaves and moss in gutters lead to overflowing water and damp walls. It’s easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.

What we do, step by step
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Parking around Hunny Hill is typically easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from ground level, and the loft shows the rest.
- 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 the ground, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
