Storm damage roof report in Itchingfield: what you get
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. It is a photo-illustrated written report, sent by email. It is not a repair quote and does not include repair costs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. If you are worried about torn or lifted flat roof coverings and loose or broken chimney pots and cowls, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Itchingfield, older roofs have often been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. We look at everything that’s safely in view and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photographs show what each point refers to.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Itchingfield
Do you carry out roof surveys in Itchingfield?
Yes, Itchingfield is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Itchingfield?
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.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Safely, from ground level or a window. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. With binoculars, you can see a lot from the ground, and we will record the rest.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
What if the roof was already worn?
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so it is clear what we found. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
When you need someone else
No survey can tell you everything, and it is better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- How your policy defines a storm
- Estimates of repair costs
- Negotiating a claim settlement

When to book a survey in Itchingfield
Insurers often want evidence of what has been damaged and why. An independent report gives you a clear record to send. Your insurer still makes the decision.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- New damp or leaks inside
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
If you let a flat or house near Christs Hospital station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
What to check before booking
- When you’ll get the report
- What happens after the report arrives
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- What exactly goes into their report

What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs, sent to you by email. On timing, it typically takes about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Somewhere as small as Itchingfield, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there is access.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Storm damage roof reports in Itchingfield: local notes
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
Take a building like Barns Green Primary School: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Nicolas, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
