About our storm damage roof report in Tourner Bury
Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies by policy. Check your own policy wording. Whether the weather met it is for your insurer. Our part is recording the damage to your roof and its likely cause. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. If you are worried about ridge tiles that have come loose and new damp or leaks inside, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on chimney stacks, gutters and fascias and slate and tile slopes alike.
For a small place like Tourner Bury, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Tourner Bury
Insurers frequently want evidence of what has been damaged and why. A written report with photos gives you something clear to pass on. The decision still rests with the insurer.
Look out for signs like these:
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Roofs hit by falling trees
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
What to check before booking
- What insurance they carry
- When you will get the report
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA

Questions from Tourner Bury
Is the coastal weather around Tourner Bury hard on roofs?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces.
Is my home in Tourner Bury listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
Only your insurer can decide that. We record the damage, with photographs and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. If you’re still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. An independent report can add to your evidence, but we can’t say how it will turn out.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. Take photos from ground level first if it’s safe. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
What if the roof was already worn?
Wear and tear is usually excluded from home insurance. We note both storm damage and older defects, so it’s clear what we found. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
How long is the visit?
Most surveys take between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. We’ll confirm the timing when booking.

What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and make notes for the report. It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Around Tourner Bury, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- You tell us when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the roof space where it is safe.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.

- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.

Advice
DIY checks: what’s safe
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Tourner Bury
Tourner Bury lies within about 1 mile of the sea, so storms can arrive with strong gusts off the water. What counts as a storm is set by each policy, often gusts of around 55 mph, and the insurer makes the decision. Warblington Castle, about 3.5 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Tourner Bury. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
Take a building like Mengham Junior School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. Landlords with a home close to Warblington station may find that finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
