Storm damage roof report in Bachelor's Bump: what you get
Our storm damage report starts from £150. It’s a written report with photos, sent by email. It is not a repair quote and doesn’t include repair costs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. We survey chimney stacks, gutters and fascias and ridges and hips, and common reasons people get in touch are cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind and holes or cracks caused by debris.
In a village or hamlet like Bachelor's Bump, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Bachelor's Bump
The sooner the damage is recorded, the clearer the evidence. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Bachelor's Bump, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Roof by roof
Flat roof coverings
Edge trims and laps are often where flat roof coverings start to peel back. The report notes signs of recent damage and older wear.
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.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Bachelor's Bump
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Bachelor's Bump, take more of a battering?
Generally, yes: wind and salt air take more of a toll near the sea. Exposed details such as ridges, verges, flashings and metal fixings are the ones to watch, and Bachelor's Bump is within about 2 miles of the coast.
Is Bachelor's Bump within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we will agree the details when booking.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Bachelor's Bump?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know the address and what you’d like to know. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Bachelor's Bump
Bachelor's Bump lies within about 2 miles of the sea, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, and driving rain finds any gap they leave, while salt slowly corrodes metal fixings and flashings. Older houses across Sussex frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs, and oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of East Sussex’s older buildings. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
Landlords with a home close to Three Oaks station may find that finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. For businesses in and around places like Priory Meadow Shopping Centre, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down.

What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take between one and two hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time.

- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.

- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
