Tyler Hill Storm Damage Roof Report
We take a careful look at the roof at your property in Tyler Hill, and put it all in a photo-illustrated written report.
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Water coming in after the storm
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
What we do, step by step
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Rural addresses near Tyler Hill can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before we arrive
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
How to book
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from ground level or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Storm damage roof report in Tyler Hill: what you get
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there’s access, and the roof itself where that is safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. We note any part we couldn’t see. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. If you’ve noticed lead lifted at abutments and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Roofs in small places like Tyler Hill frequently stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A record with photographs 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.

Can I check my roof myself?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Tyler Hill
Tyler Hill is within about 4 miles of the coast. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording, and many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, though it varies. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
Shop and office owners around Whitefriars Shopping Centre may find that a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters. Take an older house close to Church of St Cosmus and St Damian: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

Tyler Hill: your questions answered
Is my home in Tyler Hill listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you cover smaller places like Tyler Hill?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We’ll talk about access as you book.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
Each policy has its own definition. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but your policy sets the actual test.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. The report does not include repair costs.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
That’s not something we can promise. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
Different roofs, different checks
Lead flashings
When flashings lift, water can get behind them. We note where this has happened and any damp inside.
Slate roofs
Slates often outlast the nails that hold them. We look at whether slipped slates suggest storm damage, older wear or both.
Why it is worth a survey now in Tyler Hill
If a roofer needs to make the roof safe, take photos first if you can do so safely from the ground. Those photos show the damage as it was. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Tyler Hill, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, from £400 inc. VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.
Why choose Independent Roof Survey in Tyler Hill
- Every finding written up with photos
- Weekday and weekend surveys
- An independent view of the roof
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Tyler Hill?
Flat roofs can be damaged too. Wind can lift edges and tear coverings, and blocked outlets can leave water ponding after heavy rain. Our report covers flat and pitched roofs.
People typically book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
If you look after a building such as Blean Primary School, a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Will the report include photos?
Practical tips
You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- File receipts for anything you pay for
After the visit, we write up the report with photographs of each area of damage. It sets out what is damaged, the likely cause and any signs of older wear. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
