What a survey costs

Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

About our storm damage roof report in Puckpool
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. Our report shows the damage in photos and says whether it looks like storm damage, wear and tear, or a mix. 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. We are frequently asked to look into cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind and damaged ridges and hips, on gutters and fascias, flashings and flat roofs.
Many homes in small places like Puckpool face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

FAQs for Puckpool
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Puckpool?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you cover smaller places like Puckpool?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Larger or more complex roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs are not included, so ask a roofer to quote.
How long is the visit?
It usually takes about one to two hours for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. The report follows by email.
How do I book a survey in Puckpool?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Give us the address and some details about the roof. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It depends on your policy. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Check your policy wording.
Leaks and storm damage in Puckpool
Puckpool lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Driving rain off the sea can be pushed into gaps that stay dry in calmer weather. Some villages on the Isle of Wight still have thatched roofs, and the whole island is open to sea air and wind. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
For landlords with property near Ryde St Johns Road station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. Hotels and guest houses near Puckpool cannot easily close rooms for a leak.
Puckpool is about 1 mile east of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. Wherever you are in Puckpool, we can come and survey your property, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday. We cover towns and villages across the Isle of Wight, from the larger towns to small villages. Our Portsmouth page covers surveys nearby.

Different roofs, different checks
Ridge and hip tiles
Worn mortar under ridge tiles can let them lift in a storm. We note whether the mortar looks recently broken or long worn.
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles without fixings can move more easily in wind. We record what we can see of the fixings.
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Puckpool
Flat roofs can be damaged too. Coverings can tear or peel back at the edges, and water can pond where outlets are blocked. Our report covers flat and pitched roofs.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Damaged flat roof membrane
If you live in an older home near St John's Church, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Puckpool often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
