Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Adversane

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’s safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. We note any part we couldn’t see. You get a report with photographs to give to your insurer. Common reasons to book are lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and water coming in after the storm, on flashings, gutters and fascias and ridges and hips.

Being in a small place like Adversane makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.

The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

What this survey cannot tell you

Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:

  • The outcome of a claim
  • How your policy defines a storm
  • The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer

Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll tell you before you book. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

Roof types and parts we check

  • Flashings
  • Ridges and hips
  • Slate and tile slopes
  • Flat roofs
  • Gutters and fascias
  • Chimney stacks

Roof by roof

Ridge and hip tiles

Ridge and hip tiles take the full force of the wind. The survey notes loose, cracked or missing ridge and hip tiles.

Clay and concrete tiles

Older tiles held only by nibs, without nails or clips, can lift more easily. We record what we can see of the fixings.

What happens on the day

After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a report with photographs. On timing, most surveys take an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Somewhere as small as Adversane, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.

  1. You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
  2. We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
  3. The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it is safe.
  4. Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
  5. The report, with photos, is emailed to you.

Getting ready for the survey

  • Keep pets out of the way during the survey
  • Clear the way to the loft hatch
  • Point out any leaks or damp patches

Book a survey

Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you are ready.

Tips that help

These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:

  • Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
  • Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
  • Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
  • Keep invoices for temporary repairs

The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. You will have your own independent record to refer to.

Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.

Leaks and storm damage in Adversane

The wider area around Adversane has a long history of building, with Old Place Manor about 3.2 miles south-west. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. Older houses across Sussex often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.

If you look after a building such as The Weald School, a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside.
