How the survey changes by roof type
Clay and concrete tiles
Strong gusts can lift and break tiles. The report shows each damaged area.
Chimney stacks
Flashings around stacks can lift in strong winds. We photograph any we find.
Storm damage roof report in Peasmarsh
We inspect the roof from wherever it can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows and higher points, from the loft space and from the roof where it is safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. If part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. You get a report with photographs to give to your insurer. We are often asked to look into water coming in after the storm and slates and tiles blown off the roof, on gutters and fascias, chimney stacks and flashings.
Somewhere as small as Peasmarsh, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, particularly to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Peasmarsh roofs and the weather
Peasmarsh lies within about 5 miles of the sea, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Strong wind lifts anything already loose, and driving rain gets in wherever it can, and salt air slowly wears metal fixings. With Lamb House about 2.5 miles south-east, Peasmarsh sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you let a flat or house near Rye station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Peasmarsh Church of England Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.
Peasmarsh is about 9 miles north-east of Hastings, in East Sussex. In Peasmarsh, as across East Sussex, every roof gets the same careful survey. We cover towns and villages across East Sussex. Maidstone is in our area too.

Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
The report is emailed to you, and you decide what to send to your insurer. It’s your record to use.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.

Common roof problems in Peasmarsh
Gusts work at anything on a roof that is loose or exposed. Rain can then blow in where slates or tiles have gone. Most people book a report soon after a storm, when they’ve seen damage or water has come in.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
The streets around a church like The Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- What exactly goes into their report

Common questions in Peasmarsh
Do you cover smaller places like Peasmarsh?
Yes. Peasmarsh is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Peasmarsh?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. If you are still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. An independent report can add to your evidence, but we cannot say how it will turn out.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Peasmarsh?
Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. If it’s safe, take photos before it goes on. Our report then records the roof.
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.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Please do not climb onto the roof. Take photos from ground level or from windows. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
The survey, step by step
We’ll ask a few questions first, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Somewhere as small as Peasmarsh, access is frequently 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.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
How to prepare
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
Arrange a survey
Once you know what you need, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.
