Storm Damage Roof Report in Tye
An experienced roof surveyor for storm damage roof reports in Tye. More than 20 years and over 5,000 surveys.
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
Checking the roof from the ground
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
How a storm damage roof report works in Tye
Wear and tear is typically excluded from home insurance. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. Our report records both: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems such as corroded nails or worn mortar. We give an honest view of what we see. Your insurer then decides how its policy applies. Common reasons to book are torn or lifted flat roof coverings and damaged pots on the stack, on gutters and fascias, chimney stacks and ridges and hips.
For a small place like Tye, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned in advance. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

FAQs for Tye
Will you come out to Tye?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is the coastal weather around Tye hard on roofs?
It can do. Within about 1 mile of the sea, as Tye is, metal fixings wear faster and gales find any loose ridge or slate.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. If it’s safe, take photos before it goes on. We can record the damage in our report.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed when you book.
Tips from our surveys
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Photograph the damage safely from below
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. If that doesn’t resolve it, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help.
Keep records of roof work and surveys. They can help show the roof was looked after.
Different roofs, different checks
Slate roofs
In high winds, slates can slip or go, often where nails have rusted. We record which slates have moved and any signs of older nail fatigue.
Chimney stacks
Wind can pull the flashings away from a chimney. We photograph any we find.
Leaks and storm damage in Tye
Tye is within about 1 mile of the coast, where storms can bring strong gusts off the sea. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies, and the insurer decides the claim. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. Landlords with a home close to Emsworth station may find that finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. With Warblington Castle about 2 miles north, the area around Tye has a long history. On older roofs nearby, leaks often trace back to lead flashings, valleys and gutters.

Why act early in Tye
If the damage is partly wear and tear, it is better to know. Our report gives an honest view of both, so there are no surprises later. Around Tye, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.

How it works
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. All told, expect about one to two hours on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. For a village or hamlet like Tye, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- 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.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent

For landlords and managing agents
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when booking and we’ll plan the survey around it.
