Storm damage roof report in Pulborough
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from ground level, from windows and higher points, from the loft space and from the roof where it is safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. We note any part we couldn’t see. You get a written report with photos to give to your insurer. We survey ridges and hips, slate and tile slopes and chimney stacks, and people most often book us about damaged flat roof membrane and damaged ridges and hips.
In older homes around places like Pulborough, the underlay may be old bitumen felt, or there may be none at all. Once the slates or tiles let water past, there is little to stop it reaching the ceiling. Finding where it gets in, and whether it is old wear or new damage, decides what comes next. In the loft, damp battens or wet insulation are frequently the first clues.
We write the report in plain English, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, and recommendations are put by urgency where it matters.

FAQs for Pulborough
Is my home in Pulborough listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Pulborough?
Yes, Pulborough is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
What if the roof was already worn?
Wear and tear is not normally covered. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details when you book.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
How do I book a survey in Pulborough?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Pulborough
Letting agents frequently book on a landlord’s behalf. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.

Storm damage roof reports around Pulborough
In Sussex, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. About 0.4 miles west lies Old Place Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Pulborough has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you look after a building like St Mary's Church of England Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near The Parish Church of St Mary, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

How it works
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In a smaller place like Pulborough, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from the ground and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- The findings are written up with photos for you to share with your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Leave side gates unlocked
