Angmering-on-Sea Storm Damage Roof Report

How a storm damage roof report works in Angmering-on-Sea
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Take photos from the ground or from windows, and do not climb onto the roof. Emergency temporary protection, such as covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. We survey chimney stacks, flat roofs and slate and tile slopes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are loose or torn flashings and water coming in after the storm.
Being in a small place like Angmering-on-Sea makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

Storm damage roof reports around Angmering-on-Sea
Angmering-on-Sea is within about 1 mile of the coast, where storms can bring strong gusts off the sea. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies, and the insurer decides the claim. With Ecclesden Manor about 1.7 miles north, Angmering-on-Sea sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Take an older house close to The Parish Church of St Mary: leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as East Preston Infant School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

FAQs for Angmering-on-Sea
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Angmering-on-Sea?
Often, yes. Angmering-on-Sea is within about 1 mile of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
Is Angmering-on-Sea within the area you cover?
Yes. Angmering-on-Sea is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How many surveys have you done?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when booking.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
We can’t say whether a claim will be paid. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
Roof by roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Broken or missing tiles leave the underlay exposed to rain. We photograph each gap.
Ridge and hip tiles
Ridge tiles bedded in old mortar can loosen in high winds. Our report says whether it looks freshly damaged or worn over time.
How it works
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey usually takes between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Older roofs in small places like Angmering-on-Sea can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave side gates unlocked

Related advice
Tips from our surveys
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Check how your policy defines a storm
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. After that, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
Honest limits
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Negotiating a claim settlement
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
- A decision on your insurance claim

- Damaged pots on the stack
