Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Newington
High winds usually affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Falling branches can cause damage too. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. If you are worried about roofs hit by falling trees and lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles, we can find out what’s behind it.
Older cottages and houses around Newington may have roofs with little or no underlay. Without a sound underlay, any gap in the coverings lets water straight through. Whether it’s long-term wear or recent damage makes a difference to what happens next. In the loft, damp battens or wet insulation are often the first clues.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to.

Questions from Newington
Is my home in Newington 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’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Is Newington within the area you cover?
Yes, Newington is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll explain what’s needed.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Larger or more complex roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs aren’t included, so ask a roofer to quote.
Can I check my roof myself?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Newington
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 will plan the visit with that in mind.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. Surveys run on any day of the week, which can make access easier.
Why act early in Newington
Your policy may say how quickly you need to report damage. Check the wording and tell your insurer as soon as you can. Our report can then add a clear record. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Newington, so it helps to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.

The survey, step by step
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes an hour or two for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Parking around Newington is typically easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from the ground, with the loft showing the underside.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We check the roof from wherever it is safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.

Advice
Storm damage roof reports around Newington
The coast is about 3 miles or less from Newington, so storms can arrive with strong gusts off the water. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies, and the insurer decides the claim. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. Anyone responsible for a site like Newington Church of England Primary School will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
