Storm damage roof report in Robertsbridge
After a storm, it helps to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We aren’t loss adjusters, and we cannot say whether a claim will be paid. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. We survey slate and tile slopes, ridges and hips and flashings, and people most often book us about damaged ridges and hips and flashings pulled away from walls or stacks.
For a small place like Robertsbridge, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned in advance. It is useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
After the visit, you get a written report with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Common questions in Robertsbridge
Will you come out to Robertsbridge?
Yes, Robertsbridge is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you cover Robertsbridge?
Yes, Robertsbridge is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We are not loss adjusters, and we do not negotiate claims. We provide an independent record of the roof for you to send to your insurer.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Only from ground level or from windows. Don’t use a ladder or go onto the roof. Binoculars can help you see damage from below, and we will record the rest.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Tell us about it as you book and we will plan the survey around it.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only if it is safe. We inspect whatever is safely visible: from the ground, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.

What else we do in Robertsbridge
What affects the price in Robertsbridge
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Height and safe access
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.
What to let us know when you contact us
We will usually ask about:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- When you need the report by
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Where the property is, with the postcode
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know where you stand. Our price is from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Robertsbridge?
When you claim, your insurer may ask for evidence of the damage and its cause. An independent report gives you a clear record to send. The decision still rests with the insurer.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Flat roof edges peeled back
If you let a flat or house near Robertsbridge station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Robertsbridge
The wider area around Robertsbridge has a long history of building, with Durhamford Manor about 3.8 miles south-east. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs, and oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of East Sussex’s older buildings. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
Take a building like Salehurst Church of England Primary School: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Robertsbridge United Reformed Church, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

What happens on the day

It typically takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. For a village or hamlet like Robertsbridge, the journey is planned beforehand: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We view the roof from wherever it can safely be seen, including the loft where there is access.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- The findings are written up with photographs for you to share with your insurer.
How to prepare
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
How to book

Why it is worth a survey now in Robertsbridge
It is useful to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. For an older or listed building in a place like Robertsbridge, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
