Why it is worth a survey now in Brighton Hill
Your policy may say how quickly you need to report damage. Let your insurer know early, and check what your policy asks for. An independent report can follow. In a smaller place like Brighton Hill, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing doesn’t stay loose for long. Each storm lifts it a little further.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Why book with us
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed
- Drone and thermal imaging surveys available
- Package prices that include VAT
- Plain-English reports with photos

How a storm damage roof report works in Brighton Hill
High winds normally affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Falling branches can cause damage too. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. If you’re worried about damaged ridges and hips and gutters pulled loose in the wind, we can find out what’s behind it, on flat roofs, flashings and ridges and hips alike.
In older homes around places like Brighton Hill, the underlay may be old bitumen felt, or there may be none at all. Once the slates or tiles let water past, there is little to stop it reaching the ceiling. Whether it is long-term wear or recent damage makes a difference to what happens next. In the loft, damp battens or wet insulation are frequently the first clues.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Can I check my roof myself?
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
Common roof problems in Brighton Hill
Insurers often want evidence of what has been damaged and why. A written report with photos gives you something clear to pass on. The decision still rests with the insurer.
People usually book a survey when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- New damp or leaks inside
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Damaged flat roof membrane
Anyone responsible for a site like Brighton Hill Community School will know that tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- Are they insured for the work?
- What happens after the report arrives
What affects the price in Brighton Hill
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- Height and safe access
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, from £400 including VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Booking your survey
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- What made you get in touch
We survey roofs on any day of the week. To find a date that works for you, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and the days you’d prefer.
How the survey works
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It normally takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In a smaller place like Brighton Hill, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before the survey
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Wind, rain and roofs in Brighton Hill
About 4 miles north lies The Vyne, a reminder of how long the area around Brighton Hill has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
If you run a business near Festival Place, a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running. For an older house near a landmark such as The Church Of Christ The King, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
You’ll need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
Keep records of roof work and surveys. They can help show the roof was looked after.
Common questions in Brighton Hill
Will you come out to Brighton Hill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How do I find out if my home in Brighton Hill is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Complain to your insurer first. If you are still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, but we cannot say how it will turn out.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Our reports start from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. Repair costs aren’t part of the report.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
We cannot 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.
