Storm Damage Roof Report in Parkhurst
An independent record of roof damage after a storm in Parkhurst, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photos.
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Loose or torn flashings
What happens on the day
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It normally takes about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Around Parkhurst, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Note where any stains or damp appear

Storm damage roof report in Parkhurst
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. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. We survey flat roofs, flashings and gutters and fascias, and people most often book us about ridge tiles that have come loose and loose or broken chimney pots and cowls.
Roofs in small places like Parkhurst frequently stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
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.

Parkhurst questions
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Parkhurst?
Often, yes. Parkhurst is within about 4 miles of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
Is Parkhurst within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
How long is the visit?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take between one and two hours at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. The written report follows by email.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
How experienced are you?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when booking.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. Take photos from ground level first if it is safe. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roof coverings
Debris blown onto a flat roof can puncture the covering or block outlets. Any damage is recorded with photos.
Ridge and hip tiles
Ridge tiles bedded in old mortar can loosen in high winds. Our report says whether it looks freshly damaged or worn over time.
Honest limits
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Areas we can’t see safely
- The outcome of a claim
- How your policy defines a storm
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will recommend the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and does not.

Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
After the visit, we write up the report with photographs of each area of damage. It covers the damage, its likely cause and any older defects. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.
Storm damage roof reports around Parkhurst
Parkhurst lies within about 4 miles of the sea, where storms can bring strong gusts off the sea. What counts as a storm is set by each policy, often gusts of around 55 mph, and the insurer makes the decision. Historic houses like Carisbrooke Castle, about 2.1 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Parkhurst goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Take a building like Hunnyhill Primary School: a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside. Living close to Seaclose Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. For hotels and guest houses around Parkhurst, a roof problem found early is far less disruptive than one found by a guest, so it is worth knowing the roof’s condition.

What happens if roof problems are left?
The sooner the damage is recorded, the clearer the evidence. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
