Storm damage in Beverley

Storm damage in Beverley. We survey the roof first, photograph what we find and give you an itemised written quote, so you know what you are paying for before anyone starts. Our Hull office covers Beverley on 01482 961 240.

Beverley is about 8 miles north west of Hull, so it is part of the Hull office's normal patch rather than a job we have to travel for. It sits in the HU17 postcode district. That matters when you need somebody back to look at something.

The roofs in Beverley

Outside the historic core, Beverley is a mix of Victorian and interwar housing and substantial modern estates on the edges of the town. The older stock tends to need ridge, verge, chimney and leadwork long before the covering itself. The newer estates are the familiar concrete tile and felt combination reaching the end of the line together.

Beverley has a large conservation area around the Minster and Saturday Market, so on older property in the centre the covering and the detailing need to be sympathetic as well as watertight.

Storm work in Beverley often involves older property where the mortar bedding was already at the end of its life and the wind simply finished it. Insurers look closely at that, which is why the photographs and the written scope matter so much.

What storm damage roof repairs in Beverley involves

• Permanent repairsTiles, ridge, verge, flashings, valleys and roofline reinstated once cover is confirmed.
• Uninsured workIf the claim only covers part of it, we price the rest separately so you can see exactly what is what.
• Fences, roofline and outbuildingsStorm damage rarely stops at the main roof, so we quote the garage, the porch and the roofline in the same visit.

That is the short version. There is a fuller explanation of the work, the materials and the detailing on our storm damage roof repairs page.

Signs your Beverley property needs this

• Tiles or slates on the lawn, the drive or in the gutter after high wind
• Ridge tiles moved, lifted or missing along the top of the roof
• Lead flashing peeled back from a chimney or abutment

What insurers actually want to see

Storm claims get refused far more often than people expect, and usually for one of two reasons. Either there is no evidence tying the damage to a specific weather event, or the roof was already in poor condition and the insurer treats the damage as wear and tear.
