Storm Damage Roof Report in Staplers
Storm damage roof reports in Staplers, backed by more than 20 years’ experience. You get a clear report with photographs.
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Damaged ridges and hips
When to book a survey in Staplers
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:
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Flat roof edges peeled back
Trees in and around Seaclose Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
What to check before booking
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Their report turnaround times
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
How a storm damage roof report works in Staplers
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe 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. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. We survey ridges and hips, chimney stacks and slate and tile slopes, and people most often book us about cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind and holes or cracks caused by debris.
In a smaller place like Staplers, some roofs face open ground, so wind and driving rain find any weakness in ridges, verges and flashings. A leak that only appears in certain weather frequently points to an exposed detail. It is useful to know when and where the water appears. Gutters and downpipes on the exposed side are worth a look 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.

FAQs for Staplers
Do you cover smaller places like Staplers?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Staplers, take more of a battering?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, while strong wind lifts anything already loose.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Please do not climb onto the roof. Take photos from the ground or from windows. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
How long is the visit?
Expect it to take between one and two hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. You’ll then get the report by email.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. We will talk about access as you book.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The roof space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Wind, rain and roofs in Staplers
Staplers is within about 5 miles of the coast, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Strong wind lifts anything already loose, and driving rain gets in wherever it can, while salt slowly corrodes metal fixings and flashings. A number of the island’s villages keep thatched roofs on older buildings, and sea air and wind reach every part of the island. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
Take a building like Barton Primary School: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. Take an older house close to St Paul's Church: lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Staplers
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photographs included.
What happens on the day
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings as a photo-illustrated written report, sent to you by email. On timing, most surveys take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Being in a smaller place like Staplers does not change how the visit works: we look from ground level, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it is safe. It’s useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached

Your policy may say how quickly you need to report damage. Let your insurer know early, and check what your policy asks for. Our report can then add a clear record. On a bungalow or cottage around Staplers, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both inc. VAT. You’ll know the exact price before booking.
