Why act early in Heathfield

Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.

Storm damage roof report in Heathfield: what you get
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. We note signs of each: recent damage alongside any older defects, like nail fatigue on slates or eroded pointing. We give an honest view of what we see. Your insurer then decides how its policy applies. We survey flat roofs, gutters and fascias and chimney stacks, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are gutters pulled loose in the wind and lead lifted at abutments.
Chimney stacks on older houses around places like Heathfield can let water in, through worn flaunching, failed pointing or lifted flashings. Damp on a chimney breast isn’t always rain from above, which is why it’s worth tracing properly. It is worth looking at the stack from outside and at the timbers beside it in the loft.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Heathfield
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed ahead of time. Surveys run on any day of the week, which can make access easier.
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photographs, useful for planning maintenance.
Common roof problems in Heathfield
Branches and trees often come down on roofs during storms. The report shows what was hit and the damage caused, with photos.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- New damp or leaks inside
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Fareham Shopping Centre, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters.
Before booking anyone
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- Whether VAT is added on top
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
The survey, step by step
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. A visit to a smaller place like Heathfield is no different on the day: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Getting ready for the survey
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Keep pets in another room

Storm damage roof reports around Heathfield
Heathfield is within about 3 miles of the coast, 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. If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near St Columba, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. If you look after a building such as Ranvilles Infant School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

Questions from Heathfield
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Heathfield?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there’s more wind, and more salt in the air. Exposed details such as ridges, verges, flashings and metal fixings are the ones to watch.
Will you come out to Heathfield?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. The roof space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Heathfield?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. If it is safe, take photos before it goes on. Our report then records the roof.
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, for you to give to your insurer.
