Why act early in Apuldram
A few slipped slates can soon lead to wet timbers. Acting quickly normally means less damage overall. In a place like Apuldram, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. You’ll know the exact price before booking.

How a storm damage roof report works in Apuldram
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It does not price the repairs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. We survey slate and tile slopes, ridges and hips and flashings, and the problems we are asked to look at most are new damp or leaks inside and damaged gutters and fascias.
For a small place like Apuldram, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
After the visit, you get a report with photographs, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In a hamlet or village like Apuldram, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You tell us when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from 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.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
Booking a survey

Advice
When to book a survey in Apuldram
Some people book because a claim has been questioned. You get an independent record of what the roof shows. What happens next is up to the insurer.
Problems we come across often include:
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Fishbourne CofE Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

FAQs for Apuldram
How do I find out if my home in Apuldram is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Will you come out to Apuldram?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access; we’ll agree the details when you book.
How long is the visit?
Most surveys take between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. The report follows by email.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. The report does not include repair costs.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is not usually covered. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. Your insurer decides the claim.
Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
After the visit, we write up the report with photos of each area of damage. It sets out what is damaged, the likely cause and any signs of older wear. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
Store invoices and reports for any roof work. They can help show the roof was looked after.
