The survey, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photographs, emailed to you. On timing, it typically takes between one and two hours for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a small place like Bucks Green, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.

- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photos.

Advice
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Bucks Green
What counts as a storm depends on your policy, though many use gusts of about 55 mph. Your policy document sets out its own definition. Whether the weather met it is for your insurer. Our part is recording the damage to your roof and its likely cause. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We survey ridges and hips, slate and tile slopes and chimney stacks, and the problems we are asked to look at most are damaged ridges and hips and gutters pulled loose in the wind.
For a small place like Bucks Green, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned in advance. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Do you cover smaller places like Bucks Green?
Yes. Bucks Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.

It normally takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. The report follows by email.

Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to.

Wind, rain and roofs in Bucks Green
Older houses across Sussex often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
If you live in an older home near St John the Baptist, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. If you let a flat or house near Christs Hospital station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. Anyone responsible for a site like Pennthorpe School will know that a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.

Tips from our surveys
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
