Useful tips for Bodle Street Green property owners
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Don’t go onto the roof to take pictures
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. If that does not resolve it, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Bodle Street Green
Our storm damage report starts from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It isn’t a repair quote and doesn’t include repair costs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. Common reasons to book are torn or lifted flat roof coverings and roofs hit by falling trees, on gutters and fascias, flashings and ridges and hips.
Roofs in small places like Bodle Street Green often stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Bodle Street Green
Older houses across Sussex frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs, and the county’s older buildings include oast houses and Wealden hall houses. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. About 4.6 miles west lies Horselunges Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Bodle Street Green has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near St John the Evangelist, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

The survey, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey typically takes between one and two hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Somewhere as small as Bodle Street Green, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent

What a storm damage roof report does not cover
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Bear these in mind:
- Your insurer’s view of the claim
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
- Negotiating a claim settlement
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.
Roofs we survey in Bodle Street Green
- Flashings
- Flat roofs
- Slate and tile slopes
- Chimney stacks
- Ridges and hips
- Gutters and fascias
Can I check my roof myself?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey.

Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Do I need to be at home?
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.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. Our report then records the roof.
What if the roof was already worn?
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. We note both storm damage and older defects, so it’s clear what we found. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
How long is the visit?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof; most visits take roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The report is sent afterwards by email.
