About our storm damage roof report in Norton
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We are not loss adjusters, and we can’t say whether a claim will be paid. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. If you’re worried about flat roof edges peeled back and broken or displaced guttering, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Being in a small place like Norton makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

What we do, step by step
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. All told, expect an hour or two at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Somewhere like Norton needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- 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.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Wind, rain and roofs in Norton
Norton is within about 1 mile of the coast, where storms can bring strong gusts off the sea. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording, and many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, though it varies. If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
If you own a rental within reach of Lymington Pier station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. For an older house near a landmark such as St. James' Church, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.
Norton is about 4 miles south of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. Norton is part of the area we cover across London and South East England. We cover towns and villages across the Isle of Wight. For surveys nearby, see our Southampton page.

Norton: your questions answered
Is Norton within the area you cover?
Yes, Norton is covered. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Is the coastal weather around Norton hard on roofs?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there’s more wind, and more salt in the air. Exposed details such as ridges, verges, flashings and metal fixings are the ones to watch, and Norton is within about 1 mile of the coast.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
How long will you be at the property?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof, but most surveys take about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The report is sent afterwards by email.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. An independent report can add to your evidence, but we can’t say how it will turn out.
What if the roof was already worn?
Insurers normally exclude wear and tear. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Our reports start from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. The report doesn’t include repair costs.
What a storm damage roof report does not cover
A survey is a close look at the roof, but it cannot do everything. The main limits are:
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
- A price for the repairs
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll suggest the right survey before you book. The full list of what we check.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Norton
Insurers frequently want evidence of what has been damaged and why. A written report with photos gives you something clear to pass on. Your insurer still makes the decision.
Look out for signs like these:
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Water coming in after the storm
Take a building like Yarmouth Church of England Aided Primary School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.
