Prices for storm damage roof reports in Hampers Green
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- Roof area
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.
Booking your survey
There is no need for technical words. It is enough to let us know:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- What kind of property and roof it is
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
How a storm damage roof report works in Hampers Green
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there is access, and the roof itself where that is safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. If part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. We’re frequently asked to look into loose or broken chimney pots and cowls and flashings pulled away from walls or stacks, on ridges and hips, flat roofs and slate and tile slopes.
Roofs in small places like Hampers Green 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.

Tips that help
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
When to book a survey in Hampers Green
Branches and trees often come down on roofs during storms. We record the damage and where it is, backed up with photos.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- New damp or leaks inside
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Petworth Cof E Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Their insurance cover
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Their report turnaround times
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
Leaks and storm damage in Hampers Green
About 0.6 miles south lies Petworth House, a reminder of how long the area around Hampers Green has been built on. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near The Church of St Mary the Virgin, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. If you own a rental within reach of Pulborough station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away.

Common questions in Hampers Green
Is Hampers Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Hampers Green is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
How do I find out if my home in Hampers Green is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you look in the loft space?
Normally, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Larger or more complex roofs are quoted for their size. It doesn’t include repair costs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for those.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
How long does the survey take?
It usually takes about one to two hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. You will then get the report by email, on the timescale of your package.
What’s the best way to book?
Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.

Checking the roof from the ground
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
