How a storm damage roof report works in Partridge Green
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. We survey gutters and fascias, flashings and flat roofs, and people most frequently book us about roofs hit by falling trees and flat roof edges peeled back.
For a small place like Partridge Green, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned in advance. Let us know 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.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

How it works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Older rural homes like those around Partridge Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We check the roof from wherever it is safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
How to book
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email, and we will ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Storm damage roof reports around Partridge Green
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. If your home is older, it’s 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Jolesfield CofE Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

What affects the price in Partridge Green
To price your survey, we check:
- House, block, shop or office
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The shape of the roof and its details
- The size of the roof
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
Getting in touch
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- The address and postcode of the property
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.
What you can safely check yourself
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
A lot can be seen 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.

How the survey changes by roof type
Lead flashings
Lifted flashings let rain run behind them into the roof. We note where this has happened and any damp inside.
Flat roof coverings
Edge trims and laps are often where flat roof coverings start to peel back. The report notes signs of recent damage and older wear.
Common roof problems in Partridge Green
Insurers frequently want evidence of what has been damaged and why. An independent report gives you a clear record to send. The decision still rests with the insurer.
Look out for signs like these:
- Lead lifted at abutments
- New damp or leaks inside
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near St Michael and All Angels Church, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.
