Storm damage roof report in Lambs Green: what you get
After a storm, safety comes first. Photograph the damage from ground level or a window, and never climb up. Emergency temporary protection, such as covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. If you’ve noticed damaged flat roof membrane and holes or cracks caused by debris, we can find out what’s behind it, on ridges and hips, gutters and fascias and chimney stacks alike.
Somewhere as small as Lambs Green, older roofs have often been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, particularly to an insurer. We check 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.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Lambs Green
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
What we do, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a hamlet or village like Lambs Green, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We check 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
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
Book a survey
We survey roofs seven days a week. To find a date that works for you, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Practical tips
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
You get the report by email and pass it to your insurer yourself. It is your record to use.
Keep records of roof work and surveys. They can help show the roof was looked after.
What we cannot see
Our survey isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
- A price for the repairs
- The outcome of a claim

Prices for storm damage roof reports in Lambs Green
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- How big the roof is
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- House, block, shop or office
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.
Booking your survey
Before you get in touch, it’s useful to have:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know where you stand. Our price is from £150, including VAT. To book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Storm damage roof reports around Lambs Green
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your 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, so the council is the place to ask.
If you run a business near County Mall, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down. If you look after a building like Rusper Primary School, a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside. If you own a rental within reach of Faygate station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

Common questions in Lambs Green
Is my home in Lambs Green listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you cover smaller places like Lambs Green?
Yes, Lambs Green is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It depends on your policy. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Your policy document will say.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. Repair costs are not included, so ask a roofer to quote.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Stay off the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. We note both storm damage and older defects, so it is clear what we found. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
