Storm damage roof report in Shalcombe: what you get
After a storm, safety comes first. Photograph the damage from the ground or a window, and never climb up. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. We survey slate and tile slopes, gutters and fascias and ridges and hips, and people most frequently book us about loose or torn flashings and flat roof edges peeled back.
Being in a small place like Shalcombe makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned in advance. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
After the visit, you get a report with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Tips from our surveys
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Photograph damage inside the house too
You get the report by email and pass it to your insurer yourself. It’s your record to use.
Check the roof from ground level after strong winds. With binoculars, you can often spot problems without climbing. Never climb onto the roof yourself.

How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes an hour or two at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. In a hamlet or village like Shalcombe, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Getting ready for the survey
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Jot down any questions you want answered
Book a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Storm damage roof reports in Shalcombe: local notes
Shalcombe is within about 2 miles of the coast, 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. A number of the island’s villages keep thatched roofs on older buildings, and the whole island is open to sea air and wind. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
Mottistone Manor lies about 1.3 miles south-east, so building around Shalcombe goes back a long way. On older roofs nearby, leaks frequently trace back to lead flashings, valleys and gutters. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St. Mary's Church, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

Shalcombe: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Shalcombe is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Will you come out to Shalcombe?
Yes, Shalcombe is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. Repair costs are not included, so ask a roofer to quote.
Will you check the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Stay off the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
What’s the best way to book?
Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
Prices for storm damage roof reports in Shalcombe
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT.

What you can safely check yourself
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
