About our storm damage roof report in Lurgashall
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It doesn’t price the repairs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. If you’ve noticed damaged ridges and hips and damage from fallen branches or debris, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a village or hamlet like Lurgashall, older cottages and farmhouses frequently have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you are thinking of an insurance claim. 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.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Questions from Lurgashall
Do you carry out roof surveys in Lurgashall?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Lurgashall is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Will you come out to Lurgashall?
Yes, Lurgashall is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
How long is the visit?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof; most visits take about 1–2 hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Stay off the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We are not loss adjusters, and we do not negotiate claims. We provide an independent record of the roof for you to send to your insurer.
How the survey works
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there is safe access. In total, it takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Around Lurgashall, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photos.
How to prepare
- Keep pets in another room
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Related advice
What you can safely check yourself
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Wind, rain and roofs in Lurgashall
Petworth House, about 3.9 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Lurgashall. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. In Sussex, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
If you own a rental within reach of Haslemere station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Lawrence, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.
