About our storm damage roof report in Mill Corner
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. 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 can’t tell you if your claim will succeed. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. If you are worried about stains appearing after strong winds and slipped or missing slates or tiles, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
For a small place like Mill Corner, 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, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
It isn’t only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

When to book a survey in Mill Corner
Flat roofs can be damaged too. Wind can lift edges and tear coverings, and blocked outlets can leave water ponding after heavy rain. Our report covers flat and pitched roofs.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Damaged ridges and hips
- New damp or leaks inside
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Northiam Church of England Primary School, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

Common questions in Mill Corner
Is my home in Mill Corner 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 cover smaller places like Mill Corner?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
We can’t say whether a claim will be paid. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Complain to your insurer first. If you’re still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. An independent report can add to your evidence, though we can’t predict the outcome.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Safely, from the ground or a window. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. With binoculars, you can see a lot from the ground, and we will record the rest.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
How long is the visit?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Why get it checked now?
Leaving storm damage can let water into the roof space and rooms below. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. In a place like Mill Corner, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.

What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roof coverings
Lifted trims and laps are common after a storm. We look at whether the damage is recent or older.
Clay and concrete tiles
Strong gusts can lift and break tiles. The report shows each damaged area.
Storm damage roof reports in Mill Corner: local notes
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. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. The wider area around Mill Corner has a long history of building, with Great Dixter about 1.2 miles north. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you let a flat or house near Doleham station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Around Mill Corner, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.

- We view the roof from wherever it can safely be seen, including the loft where there’s access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
