What affects the price in Broomershill

Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.

How a storm damage roof report works in Broomershill
Our storm damage report starts from £150. It’s a written report with photos, sent by email. It does not price the repairs, 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. We survey flashings, flat roofs and chimney stacks, and people most often book us about new damp or leaks inside and flashings pulled away from walls or stacks.
Being in a small place like Broomershill makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Broomershill
Will you come out to Broomershill?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Broomershill?
Yes, Broomershill is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Raise it with your insurer first. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that does not resolve it. The Ombudsman asks about storm conditions, whether the damage is consistent with a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only if it is safe. We inspect what can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We are not loss adjusters and don’t act for you with the insurer. We provide an independent record of the roof for you to send to your insurer.
What does a storm damage report cost?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs aren’t part of the report.
Can I check my roof myself?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Storm damage roof reports around Broomershill
Historic houses like Old Place Manor, about 1 mile west, show how far back building in the area around Broomershill goes. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Older houses across Sussex often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
Take an older house close to The Parish Church of St Mary: leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. If you own a rental within reach of Pulborough station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

What we do, step by step

Then the inspection itself takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Around Broomershill, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We view the roof from wherever it can safely be seen, including the loft where there is access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

Tips that help
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
You will need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.
Common roof problems in Broomershill
Strong winds lift loose or poorly fixed slates and tiles, ridge pieces and flashings. Rain can then blow in where slates or tiles have gone. People usually call us after a storm, once they’ve noticed damage or a leak.
We are often asked to look at:
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Water coming in after the storm
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
Take a building like St Mary's Church of England Primary School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
What to check before booking
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- What insurance they carry
- What happens after the report arrives
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
