Storm damage roof report in Netherfield, East Sussex
Storm damage roof reports in Netherfield and the rest of East Sussex. Surveys run on any day of the week.
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
What a survey costs
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Height and safe access
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Booking your survey
We’ll normally ask about:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Dates you’re working to, like exchange
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- What kind of property and roof it is
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To get started, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Netherfield
After a storm, it is useful to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We are not loss adjusters, and we cannot say whether a claim will be paid. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. We’re often asked to look into stains appearing after strong winds and roofs hit by falling trees, on flat roofs, gutters and fascias and chimney stacks.
In a village or hamlet like Netherfield, older cottages and farmhouses frequently have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. We check everything that’s safely in view and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

Why get it checked now?
If a roofer needs to make the roof safe, take photos first if you can do so safely from the ground. That keeps a record of how it looked. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Netherfield, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you need to know.

Take a look at how roof surveys are priced and what we found on two real jobs.
Checking the roof from ground level
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
What we cannot see
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
- Acting for you with the insurer
- Your insurer’s view of the claim
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will tell you. What our survey covers.
What this survey covers
- Gutters and fascias
- Chimney stacks
- Flat roofs
- Flashings
- Slate and tile slopes
- Ridges and hips
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Netherfield
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. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. With Durhamford Manor about 3.3 miles east, Netherfield sits in an area with a long building history. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you live in an older home near Church of St John, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. Landlords with a home close to Battle station may find that a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. Take a building like Netherfield CofE Primary School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

How the survey works
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit usually takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Somewhere like Netherfield needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photos.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Questions from Netherfield
Is Netherfield within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you cover Netherfield?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, and Netherfield is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We are not loss adjusters, and we don’t negotiate claims. We provide an independent record of the roof for you to send to your insurer.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We look at everything that can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
It depends on your policy. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Your policy document will say.
