Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Muddles Green
When you claim, your insurer may ask for evidence of the damage and its cause. A written report with photos gives you something clear to pass on. The decision still rests with the insurer.
Common reasons to book include:
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- New damp or leaks inside
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
For an older house near a landmark like The Parish Church, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

Storm damage roof report in Muddles Green: what you get
Our storm damage report starts from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It does not price the repairs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for that. 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. We’re often asked to look into cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind and damaged gutters and fascias, across flat roofs, slate and tile slopes and ridges and hips.
Many homes in small places like Muddles Green face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Muddles Green
With Horselunges Manor about 2.2 miles south-east, Muddles Green sits in an area with a long building history. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs, and the county’s older buildings include oast houses and Wealden hall houses. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
For landlords with property near Berwick (Sussex) station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Chiddingly Primary School, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.

Muddles Green: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in Muddles Green?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Muddles Green is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details.
Will you come out to Muddles Green?
Yes, Muddles Green is covered. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
Each policy has its own definition. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but check your own wording.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
Raise it with your insurer first. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that does not resolve it. The Ombudsman asks about storm conditions, whether the damage is consistent with a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
How long does the survey take?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof; most visits 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.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Useful tips for Muddles Green property owners
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
For repair costs, ask a roofer to quote. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
Check the roof from ground level after strong winds. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
What happens on the day
The visit has one job: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It usually takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Somewhere as small as Muddles Green, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.

What you can safely check yourself
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
What we look for on each type of roof
Slate roofs
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, but the nails frequently fail first. The report records whether slipped slates look like storm damage or older wear.
Clay and concrete tiles
Broken or missing tiles leave the underlay exposed to rain. Each gap is recorded with a photo.
