How a storm damage roof report works in Hangleton
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. Our report shows the damage in photos and says whether it looks like storm damage, wear and tear, or a mix. We are not loss adjusters and can’t tell you if your claim will succeed. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. If you’ve noticed loose or torn flashings and new damp or leaks inside, we can find out what’s behind it.
Houses in smaller places like Hangleton can stand more in the open, where driving rain gets into any gap at a ridge, verge or flashing. A leak that only appears in certain weather often points to an exposed detail. Let us know when it happens when you contact us. Gutters and downpipes on the exposed side are worth a look as well.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Storm damage roof reports around Hangleton
Hangleton lies within about 2 miles of the sea, where storms can bring strong gusts off the sea. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording, and many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, though it varies. Historic houses such as Portslade Manor, about 0.9 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Hangleton goes. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Hangleton Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. The streets around a church such as St Helen's Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Hangleton?
Branches and trees frequently come down on roofs during storms. We record the damage and where it is, with photos.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Damaged gutters and fascias
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Churchill Square, water through a ceiling can damage stock and close a sales floor, so the source needs finding fast.

Useful tips for Hangleton property owners
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Hangleton
Do you cover smaller places like Hangleton?
Yes. Hangleton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Hangleton, take more of a battering?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there’s more wind, and more salt in the air. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it normally shows.
How do I book a survey in Hangleton?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. Repair costs are not part of the report.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
