About our storm damage roof report in Broomer's Corner
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. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. Typical surveys look at damaged pots on the stack and gaps where slates or tiles have gone, on ridges and hips, gutters and fascias and slate and tile slopes.
Many homes in small places like Broomer's Corner face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

What happens on the day
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Cottages and farmhouses around Broomer's Corner often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the loft space where it is safe.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Before we arrive

Advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That is where a survey comes in.
Storm damage roof reports around Broomer's Corner
Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand.
The streets around a church such as St Mary's Mission Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. Landlords with a home close to Billingshurst station may find that finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. Take a building like William Penn School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
Roof by roof
Slate roofs
Slates often outlast the nails that hold them. We check whether slipped slates suggest storm damage, older wear or both.
Ridge and hip tiles
Ridge tiles bedded in old mortar can loosen in high winds. We note whether the mortar looks recently broken or long worn.
Honest limits
It is a careful look at the roof, not the whole story. Its limits include:
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
