How a storm damage roof report works in Nyton
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We are not loss adjusters, and we can’t tell you whether a claim will succeed. If you are worried about flashings pulled away from walls or stacks and gutters pulled loose in the wind, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Nyton, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, particularly to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
The report is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to.

Leaks and storm damage in Nyton
The coast is about 5 miles or less from Nyton. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies, and the insurer decides the claim. Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
For landlords with property near Barnham station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. Anyone responsible for a site like Ormiston Six Villages Academy will know that a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside.

What this survey cannot tell you
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Bear these in mind:
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
- Estimates of repair costs
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.
What we check
- Slate and tile slopes
- Gutters and fascias
- Flat roofs
- Flashings
- Ridges and hips
- Chimney stacks
Why get it checked now?
A few slipped slates can soon lead to wet timbers. Getting it recorded and repaired sooner is normally better. In a small place like Nyton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included.
Why us?
- Prices that include VAT
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed
- More than 20 years surveying roofs
- An independent view of the roof
FAQs for Nyton
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Nyton?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Will you come out to Nyton?
Yes, Nyton is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Stay off the roof. Take photos from ground level or from windows. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
That’s not something we can promise. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
Does someone need to be in?
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 are storm damage reports priced?
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. Repair costs are not included, so ask a roofer to quote.
What we do, step by step
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Somewhere as small as Nyton, access is frequently 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.
