About our storm damage roof report in Middleton-on-Sea
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Photograph the damage from the ground or a window, and never climb up. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. 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 are worried about flashings pulled away from walls or stacks and damaged gutters and fascias, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a smaller place like Middleton-on-Sea, some roofs face open ground, so wind and driving rain find any weakness in ridges, verges and flashings. If a leak shows only when the wind is in a certain direction, that’s a useful clue. Tell us when it happens when you contact us. The gutters on the most exposed side can overflow too.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to.

What we are asked to look at in Middleton-on-Sea
Falling trees and branches can damage roofs in high winds. We record the damage and where it is, with photographs.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Broken or displaced guttering

- Water coming in after the storm
Anyone responsible for a site like Bishop Tufnell CofE Primary School will know that water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

What you can safely check yourself
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Storm damage roof reports in Middleton-on-Sea: local notes
Middleton-on-Sea lies within about 1 mile of the sea. What counts as a storm is set by each policy, frequently gusts of around 55 mph, and the insurer makes the decision. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. 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 check with the council.
The streets around a church such as St Nicholas Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. For landlords with property near Bognor Regis station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

Questions from Middleton-on-Sea
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Middleton-on-Sea, take more of a battering?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces.
How do I find out if my home in Middleton-on-Sea 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.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Wear and tear is not normally covered. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. Your insurer decides the claim.
Does someone need to be in?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you as you book.
Is Middleton-on-Sea in your area?
Yes. Middleton-on-Sea is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
Why it is worth a survey now in Middleton-on-Sea
Damage left open lets in more rain. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. In an older home around Middleton-on-Sea, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, inc. VAT.

How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roof coverings
Debris blown onto a flat roof can puncture the covering or block outlets. We record what we find.
Slate roofs
In high winds, slates can slip or go, frequently where nails have rusted. Our report notes moved slates and any sign of older corrosion.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Middleton-on-Sea
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. A photo-illustrated written report gives you a clear record of the roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
How it works
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It normally takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. Homes around Middleton-on-Sea frequently have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. The loft, where there’s safe access, completes the picture.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before the survey
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
