Around Broadbridge Heath, leaves and moss in gutters lead to overflowing water and damp walls, especially where trees overhang. It’s easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.

Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Broadbridge Heath
High winds usually 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. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. Common reasons to book are gaps where slates or tiles have gone and flat roof edges peeled back, across ridges and hips, gutters and fascias and chimney stacks.
Houses in smaller places like Broadbridge Heath can stand more in the open, where driving rain gets into any gap at a ridge, verge or flashing. A leak that only appears in certain weather frequently points to an exposed detail. It’s useful to know when and where the water appears. Gutters and downpipes on the exposed side are worth a look as well.
The report is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

What we’re asked to look at in Broadbridge Heath
Landlords and building managers often need a written record after a storm. It helps when explaining damage to a building owner or insurer.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
Anyone responsible for a site like Shelley Primary School will know that tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Their insurance cover
- What experience they bring
- Their report turnaround times
What you can safely check yourself
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
Storm damage roof reports around Broadbridge Heath
Older houses across Sussex often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
If you let a flat or house near Christs Hospital station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. Living close to Farlington Strood Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

- How your policy defines a storm
If you’re not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking. What a survey covers and does not.
What this survey covers
- Chimney stacks
- Slate and tile slopes
- Flat roofs
- Gutters and fascias
- Ridges and hips
- Flashings
Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
You get the report by email and pass it to your insurer yourself. It is your record to use.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Don’t go up a ladder to look.
What we do, step by step
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. All told, expect roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. For a survey in Broadbridge Heath, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. Let us know about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the roof space where it is safe.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
