Do you need a storm damage roof report in Domewood?
Branches and trees often come down on roofs during storms. The report shows what was hit and the damage caused, with photos.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Damaged flat roof membrane
If you let a flat or house near East Grinstead station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- What the survey will not cover
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
How a storm damage roof report works in Domewood
We inspect the roof from wherever it can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows and higher points, from the roof space and from the roof where it is safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. We note any part we couldn’t see. You get a written report with photos to give to your insurer. If you’ve noticed damaged ridges and hips and damaged gutters and fascias, we can find out what’s behind it, on chimney stacks, flat roofs and flashings alike.
Roofs in small places like Domewood often stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Common questions in Domewood
Do you cover Domewood?
Yes, Domewood is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is Domewood within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. 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 is disturbed.
How experienced are you?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Will you check the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. Take photos from ground level first if it’s safe. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.

Our survey isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:

- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
- A decision on your insurance claim
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking. The full list of what we check.

Storm damage roof reports around Domewood
In Sussex, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. Saint Hill Manor, about 3.5 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Domewood. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
Take a building like Imberhorne School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as householders. A report with photographs gives you a clear record of the roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
How it works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Older rural homes like those around Domewood can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We check the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Leave side gates unlocked
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
Getting a price
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Advice
Before and after the survey
You do not need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. After that, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. With binoculars, you can often spot problems without climbing. Don’t go up a ladder to look.
