Storm damage roof report in Gossops Green: what you get
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We are not loss adjusters, and we can’t tell you whether a claim will succeed. We survey flat roofs, slate and tile slopes and flashings, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are ridge tiles that have come loose and flat roof edges peeled back.
In a smaller place like Gossops Green, some roofs face open ground, so wind and driving rain find any weakness in ridges, verges and flashings. A leak that only appears in certain weather frequently points to an exposed detail. It’s useful to know when and where the water appears. The gutters on the most exposed side can overflow too.
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
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a smaller place like Gossops Green, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from ground level and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Getting ready for the survey
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent

Common questions in Gossops Green
Do you cover smaller places like Gossops Green?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Should a flat-roofed garage or porch in Gossops Green be checked too?
Often, yes, so mention it as you book. Flat-roofed garages and porches are common in new towns like Crawley, and older felt coverings may be near the end of their life.
What’s the best way to book?
It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Let us know the address and a little about the roof. Surveys run on any day of the week.
How experienced are you?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. Take photos from ground level first if it is safe. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
Do you look in the loft space?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Storm damage roof reports around Gossops Green
Crawley, which Gossops Green is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Homes from the post-war decades are common in the new towns, many with low-pitched roofs in concrete tiles and flat-roofed garages or porches. Low pitches let wind-driven rain reach further under the tiles, and flat-roofed garages and porches are common leak points. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
For landlords with property near Ifield station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. Take a building like Ifield Community College: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

What we’re asked to look at in Gossops Green
Some people book because a claim has been questioned. An independent report gives you another view of the roof. We can’t say whether the decision will change.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Water coming in after the storm
Take an older house close to St Peter's: water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.
