About our storm damage roof report in Jury's Gap
Wear and tear is normally excluded from home insurance. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. Our report records both: recent damage alongside any older defects, like nail fatigue on slates or eroded pointing. We give an honest view of what we see. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. Common reasons to book are slates and tiles blown off the roof and water coming in after the storm, on chimney stacks, gutters and fascias and flat roofs.
For a small place like Jury's Gap, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
It isn’t only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

What else we do in Jury's Gap
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Jury's Gap?
A storm often finds a roof’s existing weak spots. Corroded nails on slate roofs, worn mortar on ridges and old flashings can all give way. Our report notes both the storm damage and any older wear.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Loose or torn flashings
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Damaged flat roof membrane
Lamb House lies about 4.4 miles west, so building around Jury's Gap goes back a long way. Leaks in period homes nearby often come from lead work and valleys that have been patched before.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- What insurance they carry
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
Wind, rain and roofs in Jury's Gap
The coast is about 1 mile or less from Jury's Gap, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Strong wind lifts anything already loose, and driving rain gets in wherever it can, and salt air slowly wears metal fixings. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs, and oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of East Sussex’s older buildings. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
If you let a flat or house near Rye station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

Questions from Jury's Gap
Is my home in Jury's Gap listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you cover smaller places like Jury's Gap?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Safely, from the ground or a window. Do not use a ladder or go onto the roof. Binoculars can help you see damage from below, and we will record the rest.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We’re not loss adjusters, and we don’t negotiate claims. We give you an independent report of the damage, which you can pass to your insurer.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
What we look for on each type of roof
Chimney stacks
Older stacks with worn pointing or cracked flaunching are more likely to suffer. We record both the storm damage and the older wear.
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles can lift, crack or blow off in high winds. We record which are damaged and where.
The survey, step by step
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes between one and two hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. If you have questions on the day, just ask. For a village or hamlet like Jury's Gap, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We look at the roof from wherever it is safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
How to book
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email, let us know about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
