Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Northbridge Street
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: were there storm conditions on or around the date, is the damage consistent with a storm, and was the storm the main cause. Our report focuses on the second and third points. Weather records for the date are for you or your insurer to check. We’re often asked to look into roofs hit by falling trees and stains appearing after strong winds, across slate and tile slopes, ridges and hips and flashings.
Being in a small place like Northbridge Street makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What affects the price in Northbridge Street
When we price a survey, we consider:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Height and safe access
- Roof area
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
What we need to know
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Anything about access we should know
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email, let us know about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Why it is worth a survey now in Northbridge Street
Many policies expect damage to be reported promptly. Check the wording and tell your insurer as soon as you can. Our report can then add a clear record. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both with VAT included. You will know the price for your roof before booking.
Why book with us
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help
- 20+ years’ experience
- CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID)
- PI and public liability insurance

What happens on the day
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photographs, emailed to you. On timing, most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for a house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Somewhere as small as Northbridge Street, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We view the roof from wherever it can safely be seen, including the loft where there’s access.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Advice
Places near Northbridge Street
What else we do in Northbridge Street
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Northbridge Street?
Roofs that were already worn are more likely to suffer in a storm. Corroded nails on slate roofs, worn mortar on ridges and old flashings can all give way. We record recent damage alongside older defects.
Common reasons to book include:
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
Take an older house close to The Parish Church of St Mary: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
Before you book anyone
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Will the report include photos?
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
Useful tips for Northbridge Street property owners
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
You’ll need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
Check the roof from the ground after strong winds. With binoculars, you can often spot problems without climbing. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
Storm damage roof reports around Northbridge Street
Durhamford Manor, about 3.9 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Northbridge Street. If you own one of the older houses, 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. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
Landlords with a home close to Robertsbridge station may find that a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Salehurst Church of England Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
