About our storm damage roof report in Maresfield
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We are not loss adjusters, and we can’t say whether a claim will be paid. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. If you’ve noticed water coming in after the storm and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind, we can find out what’s behind it, on gutters and fascias, ridges and hips and slate and tile slopes alike.
For a small place like Maresfield, 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, along with any repairs done before. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Useful tips for Maresfield property owners
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Don’t go onto the roof to take pictures
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. You will have your own independent record to refer to.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
What this survey can’t tell you
No survey can tell you everything, and it is better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- Areas we can’t see safely
- The outcome of a claim
- A price for the repairs

Maresfield: your questions answered
Is Maresfield within the area you cover?
Yes, Maresfield is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
How do I find out if my home in Maresfield is listed?
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.
How long does the survey take?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. The report is sent afterwards by email.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. We note both storm damage and older defects, so you know what the roof shows. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.

What else we do in Maresfield
Can I check my roof myself?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
Storm damage roof reports in Maresfield: local notes
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. Older houses across Sussex often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings, alongside oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
Take an older house close to The Parish Church of St Bartholomew: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. If you let a flat or house near Uckfield station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

Common roof problems in Maresfield
Others book after an insurer has queried a claim. An independent report gives you another view of the roof. We cannot say whether the decision will change.
We are often asked to look at:
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Damaged flat roof membrane
Trees in and around West Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
Choosing a roof surveyor
