How a storm damage roof report works in Nutley
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Falling branches can cause damage too. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. If you’re worried about gutters pulled loose in the wind and new damp or leaks inside, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flat roofs, slate and tile slopes and ridges and hips alike.
For a small place like Nutley, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

DIY checks: what’s safe
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
It is useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Nutley
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
Common roof problems in Nutley
Flat roofs can be damaged too. Coverings can tear or peel back at the edges, and water can pond where outlets are blocked. We record what we find on flat and pitched roofs alike.
Common reasons to book include:
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Flat roof edges peeled back
Take a building like Nutley Church of England Primary School: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Their track record with similar roofs
How the survey works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Around Nutley, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s 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 we arrive
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Questions from Nutley
Is Nutley within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Is Nutley in the area you cover?
Yes, Nutley is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the property.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
How long does the survey take?
It typically takes an hour or two at a typical home, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. You’ll then get the report by email.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Leaks and storm damage in Nutley
If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings, alongside oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
Landlords with a home close to Buxted station may find that a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. For an older house near a landmark like St James the Less, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.
