Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Norleywood
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. Common reasons to book are loose or broken chimney pots and cowls and ridge tiles that have come loose, on ridges and hips, flashings and chimney stacks.
Being in a small place like Norleywood makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned in advance. It’s useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
Roof by roof
Ridge and hip tiles
Worn mortar under ridge tiles can let them lift in a storm. Our report says whether it looks freshly damaged or worn over time.
Flat roof coverings
Edge trims and laps are often where flat roof coverings start to peel back. We check whether the damage is recent or older.
FAQs for Norleywood
Do you cover smaller places like Norleywood?
Yes. Norleywood is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Norleywood?
It can do. Within about 2 miles of the sea, as Norleywood is, metal fixings wear faster and gales find any loose ridge or slate.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We’re not loss adjusters, and we don’t negotiate claims. We provide an independent record of the roof for you to send to your insurer.
What does a storm damage report cost?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. The report doesn’t include repair costs.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Stay off the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
Will you check the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
How it works
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Somewhere like Norleywood needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
Book a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Advice
Storm damage roof reports around Norleywood
Norleywood is within about 2 miles of the coast, so there is more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Driving rain off the sea can be pushed into gaps that stay dry in calmer weather, and salt air slowly wears metal fixings. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
If you let a flat or house near Lymington Pier station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. Take a building like South Baddesley Church of England Primary School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
