Questions from Cooper's Green
How do I find out if my home in Cooper's Green is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is Cooper's Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Cooper's Green is covered. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Wear and tear is not usually covered. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. Your insurer decides the claim.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access.
How do I book a survey in Cooper's Green?
Simply call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Cooper's Green
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: whether there were storm conditions around the date, whether the damage fits a storm, and whether the storm was the main cause. We record what the roof shows about the damage and its likely cause. You or your insurer can check the weather for the date. We survey ridges and hips, flat roofs and slate and tile slopes, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are damage from fallen branches or debris and damaged flat roof membrane.
Roofs in small places like Cooper's Green often stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What we do, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Older rural homes like those around Cooper's Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before the survey
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached

How the survey changes by roof type
Clay and concrete tiles
Strong gusts can lift and break tiles. We record which are damaged and where.
Slate roofs
In high winds, slates can slip or go, often where nails have rusted. Our report notes moved slates and any sign of older corrosion.
When you need someone else
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Bear these in mind:
- Estimates of repair costs
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
- Your insurer’s view of the claim

What happens if roof problems are left?
Leaving storm damage can let water into the loft space and rooms below. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. Emergency temporary protection should be arranged with a roofer. In a place like Cooper's Green, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.

Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
If anything in the report isn’t clear, just ask us. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.

Cooper's Green roofs and the weather
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs, and the county’s older buildings include oast houses and Wealden hall houses. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting 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, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
If you own a rental within reach of Buxted station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Five Ash Down Independent Chapel, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. Trees in and around Hempstead Meadow shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters.
