Normandy Storm Damage Roof Report
An independent record of roof damage after a storm around Normandy, with a written report you can act on. Book a weekday or weekend visit.
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Lead lifted at abutments
Roof by roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles without fixings can move more easily in wind. We record what we can see of the fixings.
Ridge and hip tiles
The ridge and hips are among the most exposed parts of a roof. We record any that have lifted, cracked or come away.
How a storm damage roof report works in Normandy
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. 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. 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 lead lifted at abutments, across flat roofs, ridges and hips and chimney stacks.
Being in a small place like Normandy makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What else we do in Normandy
For landlords and managing agents
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photos included.
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 with budgets and planning.
Common roof problems in Normandy
Storms don’t only affect pitched roofs. Wind can lift edges and tear coverings, and blocked outlets can leave water ponding after heavy rain. We record what we find on flat and pitched roofs alike.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Water coming in after the storm
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
The streets around a church such as Church of St Mark are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Their report turnaround times
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
Checking the roof from ground level
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book.
FAQs for Normandy
Do you cover smaller places like Normandy?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Normandy?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Normandy as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Larger or more complex roofs are quoted for their size. It doesn’t include repair costs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for those.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so it’s clear what we found. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We look at everything that can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Before and after the survey
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
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.
Keep records of roof work and surveys. They can help show the roof was looked after.
Storm damage roof reports around Normandy
About 1.6 miles south lies Wanborough Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Normandy has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wyke Primary School, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside. If you own a rental within reach of Wanborough station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

What happens on the day

Most visits take between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Rural addresses near Normandy can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We check the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
