Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Hurst Green
We inspect the roof from wherever it can safely be seen: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there’s access, and the roof itself where that’s safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. We note any part we couldn’t see. You get a photo-illustrated written report to give to your insurer. Common reasons to book are slipped or missing slates or tiles and ridge tiles that have come loose, across flashings, ridges and hips and slate and tile slopes.
Being in a small place like Hurst Green makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Why act early in Hurst Green
Many policies expect damage to be reported promptly. Let your insurer know early, and check what your policy asks for. An independent report can follow. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hurst Green can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. You’ll know the price for the job before booking.
Why us?
- Surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Every finding written up with photos
How it works
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It usually takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. For a village or hamlet like Hurst Green, the journey is planned ahead of time: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- You let us know when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the loft space where it’s safe.
- The damage is recorded with photos, area by area.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming

Common roof problems in Hurst 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.
People normally book a survey after spotting something like this:
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Lead lifted at abutments
Anyone responsible for a site like Hurst Green Church of England Primary School and Nursery will know that water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
What to check before booking
- Will the report include photos?
- How long the report takes to arrive
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
Useful tips for Hurst Green property owners
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
If you’re unhappy with how your insurer handles the claim, you can complain to them first. After that, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Keep records of roof work and surveys. They help show the roof was in good order before a storm.
Hurst Green roofs and the weather
The wider area around Hurst Green has a long history of building, with Bateman's about 4.4 miles south-west. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. In Sussex, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings, alongside oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
For landlords with property near Etchingham station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. Take an older house close to Holy Trinity: lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

FAQs for Hurst Green
Is my home in Hurst Green listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover Hurst Green?
Yes, Hurst Green is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Will you check the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
How are storm damage reports priced?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. The report doesn’t include repair costs.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. If it’s safe, take photos before it goes on. We can record the damage in our report.
