Storm damage roof report in Marehill: what you get
After a storm, it helps to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. Our report shows the damage in photos and says whether it looks like storm damage, wear and tear, or a mix. We are not loss adjusters, and we cannot say whether a claim will be paid. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. Common reasons to book are lead lifted at abutments and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind, across chimney stacks, ridges and hips and gutters and fascias.
Roofs in small places like Marehill often stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

What else we do in Marehill
When to book a survey in Marehill
Flat roofs can be damaged too. Coverings can tear or peel back at the edges, and water can pond where outlets are blocked. We record what we find on flat and pitched roofs alike.
Look out for signs like these:
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
If you look after a building like St Mary's Church of England Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
Questions to ask before booking
- Are they insured for the work?
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
Questions from Marehill
Is my home in Marehill 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 carry out roof surveys in Marehill?
Yes, Marehill is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Marehill as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We inspect what can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
That’s not something we can promise. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. If it’s safe, take photos before it goes on. We can record the damage in our report.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Marehill
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when booking and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
How it works
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there is safe access. All told, expect between one and two hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a hamlet or village like Marehill, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Getting ready for the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
Book a survey
If you’re buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you are ready.
Advice
DIY checks: what’s safe
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Storm damage roof reports in Marehill: local notes
Older houses across Sussex often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed. Old Place Manor, about 1.4 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Marehill. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
For landlords with property near Pulborough station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. The streets around a church like Wiggonholt Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
