Storm damage roof report in Faygate: what you get
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. It is a written report with photos, sent by email. It doesn’t price the repairs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. Common reasons to book are lead lifted at abutments and flat roof edges peeled back, across chimney stacks, slate and tile slopes and flashings.
Roofs in small places like Faygate 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, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Faygate
Flat roofs can be damaged too. Coverings can tear or peel back at the edges, and water can pond where outlets are blocked. Our report covers flat and pitched roofs.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Flat roof edges peeled back
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Holy Trinity CofE Secondary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- What experience they bring
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
How we price storm damage roof reports
When we price a survey, we consider:
- How big the roof is
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Helping us price your survey
What helps most when you contact us:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
We survey roofs on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Roof by roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Older tiles held only by nibs, without nails or clips, can lift more easily. We note what we can see of how tiles are fixed.
Flat roof coverings
Wind can lift the edges of flat roof coverings or tear them. Damage is photographed and described.
Useful tips for Faygate property owners
Getting the most from a storm damage roof report starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Photograph damage inside the house too
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. You’ll have your own independent record to refer to.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
Storm damage roof reports in Faygate: local notes
In Sussex, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
For landlords with property near Faygate station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. If you live near a park such as Target Hill Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. It normally takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Around Faygate, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before the survey
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
