Storm damage roof report in Findon
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. It’s a photo-illustrated written report, sent by email. It isn’t a repair quote and doesn’t include repair costs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for that. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. If you’ve noticed broken or displaced guttering and damaged pots on the stack, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
For a small place like Findon, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. Access is agreed with the tenant beforehand.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
What happens on the day
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In a hamlet or village like Findon, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

Advice
DIY checks: what’s safe
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
Findon roofs and the weather
Findon is within about 5 miles of the coast, where storms can bring strong gusts off the sea. What counts as a storm is set by each policy, often gusts of around 55 mph, and the insurer makes the decision. Historic houses such as Ecclesden Manor, about 3.8 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Findon goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you look after a building like St John the Baptist CofE Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. For landlords with property near West Worthing station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St John the Baptist, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.
Findon is about 3 miles north of Worthing, in West Sussex. Bookings from Findon are handled just like any other: get in touch, agree the price and pick a day. Findon is one of the towns and villages in West Sussex where we work. Brighton is in our area too.
Here we cover the BN14 postcode area for storm damage roof reports. If you need a storm damage roof report at a property on High Street, Southview Road and Summerfields or a nearby road, we can help.

What’s near Findon
Typical jobs here are in homes near The Old Village House Hotel. For rail, the closest station is West Worthing station, about 3.4 miles south. A little further out are Worthing Hospital (3.9 miles south-east) and Old Castle (2.9 miles south). Not far away are Chanctonbury Hill.
Why get it checked now?
Before temporary repairs, photograph the damage from ground level if it’s safe. That keeps a record of how it looked. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Findon, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

Findon questions
How do I find out if my home in Findon is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Is the coastal weather around Findon hard on roofs?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
