How a storm damage roof report works in Lingfield
After a storm, it’s useful to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We are not loss adjusters, and we cannot say whether a claim will be paid. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. We survey gutters and fascias, slate and tile slopes and flashings, and common reasons people get in touch are broken or displaced guttering and damaged flat roof membrane.
Around Lingfield, chimneys on older homes are a common source of leaks, at the flashings, the pointing or the mortar round the pots. Damp on a chimney breast isn’t always rain from above, which is why it is worth tracing properly. The stack, its flashings and the loft space beside it are all worth checking.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Honest limits
No survey can tell you everything, and it is better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
- Repair costs or quotes for the work

What you can safely check yourself

Lingfield roofs and the weather
About 4.5 miles south-east lies Hammerwood Park, a reminder of how long the area around Lingfield has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. In Surrey, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Peter and St Paul are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. Homes near green spaces such as Centenary Fields can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn.
Lingfield is about 3 miles north of East Grinstead, in Surrey. Whether the building in Lingfield is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, the roof can be surveyed on a weekday or at the weekend.

Different roofs, different checks
Ridge and hip tiles
A lifted ridge tile can let water into the roof. We photograph and describe the damage.
Lead flashings
When flashings lift, water can get behind them. The report records the flashing and any damp inside.
How the survey works
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take about one to two hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. Parking around Lingfield is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from the ground, and the loft shows the rest.
- You let us know when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We view the roof from wherever it can be seen safely, including the loft where there’s access.
- 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.
Before the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
