FAQs for Cade Street
Is my home in Cade Street listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you cover smaller places like Cade Street?
Yes. Cade Street is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
How long does the survey take?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof, but most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. The written report follows by email.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Our reports start from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. Repair costs aren’t part of the report.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you as you book.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
There’s no single figure. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Check your policy wording.
About our storm damage roof report in Cade Street
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. 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. We survey flashings, chimney stacks and slate and tile slopes, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are damaged ridges and hips and damaged flat roof membrane.
Roofs in small places like Cade Street frequently stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it 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 decide what to do next.

How the survey changes by roof type
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles can lift, crack or blow off in high winds. The report shows each damaged area.
Slate roofs
Slates often outlast the nails that hold them. We look at whether slipped slates suggest storm damage, older wear or both.
Honest limits
It helps to know what a survey will not do before you book:
- Areas we can’t see safely
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
- A price for the repairs

Storm damage roof reports in Cade Street: local notes
About 4.7 miles east lies Bateman's, a reminder of how long the area around Cade Street has been built on. 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. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs, and oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of East Sussex’s older buildings. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
Take a building like Heathfield Community College: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of All Saints, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

What else we do in Cade Street
Can I check my roof myself?
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking.
What happens on the day
We look at the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the roof space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Somewhere like Cade Street needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We look at the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Keep pets in another room
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Leave it or get it looked at?
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. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Cade Street, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
Why book with us
- Surveys on any day of the week
- Clear package prices, inc. VAT
- An independent view of the roof
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
