How we price storm damage roof reports
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Height and safe access
- Which survey package you book
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, including VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Booking your survey
A little information up front helps. It is useful to include:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Anything about access we should know
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email to find out.
How a storm damage roof report works in Bepton
Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies by policy. Your policy document sets out its own definition. Whether the weather met it is for your insurer. We record the damage and what seems to have caused it. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. The claim decision rests with your insurer. If you are worried about damaged ridges and hips and gutters pulled loose in the wind, we can find out what’s behind it.
Somewhere as small as Bepton, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. 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.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Bepton
Landlords, agents and building managers in Bepton and across West Sussex can book any of our surveys. For a price for a let property or a block, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Bigger roofs take more time.
When to book a survey in Bepton
Landlords and building managers often need a written record after a storm. The report can be shared with owners, tenants or insurers.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Broken or displaced guttering
- New damp or leaks inside
For an older house near a landmark like The Parish Church of St Mary, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Will the report include photos?
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, from ground level, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where it applies. Most surveys take an hour or two at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Somewhere like Bepton needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the loft space where it is safe.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
Arrange a survey
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Bepton
Is Bepton in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is Bepton within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Just say which days work for you.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we will explain what’s needed.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, though we cannot predict the outcome.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
It varies by policy. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but check your own wording.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
