About our storm damage roof report in Fulking
Our storm damage report starts from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It is not a repair quote and doesn’t include repair costs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. 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. We survey flashings, gutters and fascias and flat roofs, and people most frequently book us about gaps where slates or tiles have gone and damaged flat roof membrane.
Being in a small place like Fulking makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

How we price storm damage roof reports
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
Every price we give includes VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.
Booking your survey
There is no need for technical words. Just tell us:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- What made you get in touch
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
You can call us seven days a week. For a price or to book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Fulking?
Landlords and managing agents book reports to keep a record for owners and insurers. It helps when explaining damage to a building owner or insurer.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Water coming in after the storm
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Flat roof edges peeled back
Take an older house close to The Church of the Holy Trinity: water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.
What to check before booking
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
Tips that help
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Don’t go onto the roof to take pictures
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
The report is emailed to you, and you decide what to send to your insurer. It is your record to use.
Store invoices and reports for any roof work. They can help show the roof was looked after.
Fulking questions
How do I find out if my home in Fulking is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Fulking?
It can do. Within about 5 miles of the sea, as Fulking is, metal fixings wear faster and gales find any loose ridge or slate.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
We cannot say whether a claim will be paid. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed when booking.
How are storm damage reports priced?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. Repair costs aren’t part of the report.
How experienced are you?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you as you book.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Fulking
Fulking lies within about 5 miles of the sea, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Driving rain off the sea can be pushed into gaps that stay dry in calmer weather. The wider area around Fulking has a long history of building, with Portslade Manor about 3.3 miles south. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
If you own a rental within reach of Portslade station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

What happens on the day
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey usually takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. For a village or hamlet like Fulking, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
How to prepare
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Let us know where we can park nearby
