About our storm damage roof report in Wymering
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. It sets out what is damaged, with photographs, and what we think the likely cause is. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We’re not loss adjusters, and we cannot tell you whether a claim will succeed. We’re often asked to look into flashings pulled away from walls or stacks and water coming in after the storm, across flat roofs, slate and tile slopes and gutters and fascias.
Around Wymering, chimneys on older homes are a common source of leaks, at the flashings, the pointing or the mortar round the pots. Damp on a chimney breast isn’t always rain from above, which is why it’s worth tracing properly. The stack, its flashings and the loft space beside it are all worth checking.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

The survey, step by step
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Parking around Wymering is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from the ground, with the loft showing the underside.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
Getting a price
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or email us. You will have a price before anything is arranged.

Wymering roofs and the weather
Wymering lies within about 1 mile of the sea, 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. The wider area around Wymering has a long history of building, with Warblington Castle about 4.8 miles east. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Tricorn Centre, water through a ceiling can damage stock and close a sales floor, so the source needs finding fast. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Peter and St Paul, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. Living close to Alexandra Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.
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.
What a survey costs
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- House, block, shop or office
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT.
Helping us price your survey
A little information up front helps. It helps to include:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- What’s prompted the survey
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- What kind of property and roof it is
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email to find out.
Wymering: your questions answered
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Wymering, 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.
Is my home in Wymering listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Stay off the roof. Take photos from ground level or from windows. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Wymering?
It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof. We survey on any day of the week.
Do you cover Wymering for storm damage roof reports?
Yes, we do. Wymering is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Damage left open lets in more rain. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. Emergency temporary protection should be arranged with a roofer. Around Wymering, leaves and moss in gutters lead to overflowing water and damp walls, particularly where trees overhang. It is easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.
Every price we give includes VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for the job before you book.
