Easebourne Storm Damage Roof Report
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Easebourne. More than 5,000 surveys completed across London and South East England.
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Lead lifted at abutments
Before and after the survey
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
If anything in the report is not clear, just ask us. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
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.
Storm damage roof report in Easebourne
The Financial Ombudsman looks at three things when it considers a storm damage complaint: were there storm conditions on or around the date, is the damage consistent with a storm, and was the storm the main cause. We record what the roof shows about the damage and its likely cause. Weather records for the date are for you or your insurer to check. We survey ridges and hips, slate and tile slopes and chimney stacks, and people most frequently book us about damaged flat roof membrane and holes or cracks caused by debris.
Somewhere as small as Easebourne, older roofs have often been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. We check what can be seen safely and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

How it works
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. You are welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Somewhere like Easebourne needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Leave a clear route to the loft
Getting a price
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know where you stand. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. To book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Advice
FAQs for Easebourne
How do I find out if my home in Easebourne is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Easebourne in the area you cover?
Yes, Easebourne is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Let us know the address and a little about the roof. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
How many surveys have you done?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Only from the ground or from windows. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. Binoculars can help you see damage from below, and we’ll record the rest.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Easebourne
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. A report with photographs gives you a clear record of the roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Prices for storm damage roof reports in Easebourne
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own

- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both including VAT. You’ll know the price for your roof before booking.
Getting in touch
You do not need to know any roofing terms. It is enough to tell us:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
Checking the roof from the ground
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Easebourne
Historic houses like Cowdray House, about 0.6 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Easebourne goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
Take an older house close to The Parish Church of St Mary: leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. Take a building like Easebourne CofE Primary School: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Easebourne?
Gusts work at anything on a roof that’s loose or exposed. Driving rain then gets in through the gaps. Most people book a report soon after a storm, when they’ve seen damage or water has come in.
Common reasons to book include:
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
For hotels and guest houses around Easebourne, a roof problem found early is far less disruptive than one found by a guest, so it pays to find faults before guests do.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Their insurance cover
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Whether the price includes VAT
