Aldingbourne Storm Damage Roof Report
An independent record of roof damage after a storm around Aldingbourne, with a written report you can act on. Weekday and weekend visits available.
- Broken or displaced guttering

How the survey changes by roof type
Lead flashings
When flashings lift, water can get behind them. We note where this has happened and any damp inside.
Flat roof coverings
Debris blown onto a flat roof can puncture the covering or block outlets. Any damage is recorded with photos.
Storm damage roof report in Aldingbourne: what you get
After a storm, it is useful to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We are not loss adjusters and cannot tell you if your claim will succeed. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. We survey flat roofs, slate and tile slopes and flashings, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and slates and tiles blown off the roof.
For a small place like Aldingbourne, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. Let us know 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.
It is not only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Common questions in Aldingbourne
Is the coastal weather around Aldingbourne hard on roofs?
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.
How do I find out if my home in Aldingbourne is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
How do I book a survey in Aldingbourne?

How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
What does a storm damage report cost?

Which days do you carry out surveys?

What do I do if water is coming in?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. Take photos from ground level first if it’s safe. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.

What else we do in Aldingbourne
Why act early in Aldingbourne
If a roofer needs to make the roof safe, take photos first if you can do so safely from the ground. That keeps a record of how it looked. In a place like Aldingbourne, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.

Leaks and storm damage in Aldingbourne
Aldingbourne lies within about 5 miles of the sea, where storms can bring strong gusts off the sea. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording, and many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, though it varies. The wider area around Aldingbourne has a long history of building, with Goodwood House about 3.2 miles north-west. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near The Parish Church of St Mary, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. If you look after a building like Aldingbourne Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. Landlords with a home close to Barnham station may find that tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Aldingbourne
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
How the survey works
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. For a village or hamlet like Aldingbourne, the journey is planned ahead of time: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- You tell us when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We view the roof from wherever it can safely be seen, including the loft where there’s access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
How to book
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so ring 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
