FAQs for Brooks Green
Is my home in Brooks Green listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Brooks Green?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, and Brooks Green is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. If it is safe, take photos before it goes on. Our report then records the roof.
Do you use drones?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Do you look in the loft space?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
About our storm damage roof report in Brooks Green
After a storm, it helps to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We are not loss adjusters, and we can’t say whether a claim will be paid. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. If you’ve noticed lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and slates and tiles blown off the roof, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on slate and tile slopes, ridges and hips and flat roofs alike.
Being in a small place like Brooks Green makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned in advance. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

What happens if roof problems are left?
If a roofer needs to make the roof safe, take photos first if you can do so safely from ground level. Those photos show the damage as it was. Outbuildings and barns around Brooks Green are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. You’ll know the exact price before booking.

Prices for storm damage roof reports in Brooks Green
To price your survey, we look at:
- The size of the roof
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.

Some details help us point you to the right survey and price. When you get in touch, it’s useful to mention:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The kind of building and roof involved

What we look for on each type of roof
Ridge and hip tiles
The ridge and hips are among the most exposed parts of a roof. We record any that have lifted, cracked or come away.
Slate roofs
In high winds, slates can slip or go, frequently where nails have rusted. We record which slates have moved and any signs of older nail fatigue.
When you need someone else
Before booking, it is worth knowing what a survey won’t do:
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
- A decision on your insurance claim
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll suggest the right survey before booking. The full list of what we check.
What we check
- Ridges and hips
- Flashings
- Chimney stacks
- Flat roofs
- Slate and tile slopes
- Gutters and fascias
Common roof problems in Brooks Green
Some people book because a claim has been questioned. An independent report gives you another view of the roof. We can’t say whether the decision will change.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
If you own a rental within reach of Billingshurst station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
What we do, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It typically takes about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a small place like Brooks Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before we arrive
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
Booking a survey
We confirm the price for your survey before you book, so you know where you stand. Our price is from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Advice
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Brooks Green
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. 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 you look after a building like Barns Green Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.
