When you need someone else

- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- Areas we cannot see safely

Storm damage roof report in Flansham
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: whether there were storm conditions around the date, whether the damage fits a storm, and whether the storm was the main cause. Our report focuses on the second and third points. Weather records for the date are for you or your insurer to check. We survey chimney stacks, gutters and fascias and slate and tile slopes, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged ridges and hips and lead lifted at abutments.
For a small place like Flansham, 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. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Flansham
Is my home in Flansham listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is Flansham within the area you cover?
Yes. Flansham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
That is not something we can promise. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run seven days a week. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is usually excluded from home insurance. 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.
Tips from our surveys
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
You get the report by email and pass it to your insurer yourself. We don’t deal with the insurer on your behalf.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Flansham
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
When to book a survey in Flansham
Falling trees and branches can damage roofs in high winds. The report shows what was hit and the damage caused, backed up with photos.
Common reasons to book include:
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Roofs hit by falling trees
If you let a flat or house near Barnham station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
What to check before booking
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
The survey, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a small place like Flansham, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- 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
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent

Storm damage roof reports around Flansham
Flansham lies within about 2 miles of the sea, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Strong wind lifts anything already loose, and driving rain gets in wherever it can. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask.
If you live near a park such as The Brooks Local Nature Reserve, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. The streets around a church like Bilsham Chapel are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.
