Storm damage roof report in Heyshott Green: what you get
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there’s access, and the roof itself where that is safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. We note any part we couldn’t see. You get a written report with photos to give to your insurer. If you’ve noticed holes or cracks caused by debris and damaged pots on the stack, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Being in a small place like Heyshott Green makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It’s useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Tips that help
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Take photos from the ground or a window, never by climbing
Once we’ve been, the findings are written up with photos. It covers the damage, its likely cause and any older defects. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
Keep records of roof work and surveys. They can help show the roof was looked after.
How the survey changes by roof type
Lead flashings
Lifted flashings let rain run behind them into the roof. The report records the flashing and any damp inside.
Ridge and hip tiles
Worn mortar under ridge tiles can let them lift in a storm. We note whether the mortar looks recently broken or long worn.
What a survey costs
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- House, block, shop or office
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Height and safe access
- Which survey package you book
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

Common questions in Heyshott Green
Do you cover smaller places like Heyshott Green?
Yes, Heyshott Green is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Do you cover Heyshott Green?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and Heyshott Green is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so you know what the roof shows. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
How long is the visit?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof; most visits take an hour or two for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. It doesn’t include repair costs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for those.
How it works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely. Most surveys take an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a hamlet or village like Heyshott Green, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Heyshott Green roofs and the weather
With Cowdray House about 1.9 miles north, Heyshott Green sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near The Parish Church of St James, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. If you look after a building like Midhurst Rother College, a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside.
