Duncton Storm Damage Roof Report
Storm damage roof reports in Duncton, with over 20 years’ experience behind it. Every survey ends with a written report and photographs.
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
Why get it checked now?
Before temporary repairs, photograph the damage from the ground if it’s safe. Those photos show the damage as it was. In a small place like Duncton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
All our prices include VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the exact price before booking.

How a storm damage roof report works in Duncton
High winds normally affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. Common reasons to book are loose or broken chimney pots and cowls and damaged gutters and fascias, on ridges and hips, slate and tile slopes and gutters and fascias.
Roofs in small places like Duncton often stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A record with photographs 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. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Duncton

An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
How we price storm damage roof reports
To price your survey, we look at:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

The survey, step by step
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. For a village or hamlet like Duncton, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We check the roof from wherever it is safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
Booking a survey
If you are buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or email us when you are ready.
Advice
Duncton questions
Do you cover smaller places like Duncton?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Duncton in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
How do I book a survey in Duncton?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we will point you to the right survey. We survey seven days a week.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
Only your insurer can decide that. We record the damage, with photos and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
What do I do if water is coming in?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. We can record the damage in our report.
What if the roof was already worn?
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so you know what the roof shows. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
Storm damage roof reports around Duncton
With Bignor Roman Villa about 2.4 miles south-east, Duncton sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Older houses across Sussex frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Duncton CofE Junior School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of Holy Trinity, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
