Storm damage roof report in Roffey
High winds usually affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. 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’re frequently asked to look into holes or cracks caused by debris and torn or lifted flat roof coverings, across slate and tile slopes, gutters and fascias and flashings.
Houses in smaller places like Roffey can stand more in the open, where driving rain gets into any gap at a ridge, verge or flashing. A leak that only appears in certain weather often points to an exposed detail. Let us know when it happens when you get in touch. Gutters and downpipes on the exposed side are worth a look as well.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

What else we do in Roffey
Questions from Roffey
Do you cover smaller places like Roffey?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Is Roffey in the area you cover?
Yes, Roffey is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How long will you be at the property?
It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. We’ll confirm the timing when booking.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
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.
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.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when booking.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We are not loss adjusters and do not act for you with the insurer. We provide an independent record of the roof for you to send to your insurer.
The survey, step by step
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos, emailed to you. As for time on site, it usually takes about one to two hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Parking around Roffey is typically easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. Low roofs on bungalows can frequently be seen well from the ground, and the loft shows the rest, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where it applies.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We look at the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

Helping us price your survey
What helps most when you contact us:
- The property’s address and postcode
- The kind of building and roof involved
- When you need the report by
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
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 phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.
Before and after the survey
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
Different roofs, different checks
Slate roofs
Slates frequently outlast the nails that hold them. We check whether slipped slates suggest storm damage, older wear or both.
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles without fixings can move more easily in wind. We record what we can see of the fixings.
Storm damage roof reports in Roffey: local notes
If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it’s 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. In Sussex, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
Take an older house close to All Saints Church: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. For landlords with property near Littlehaven station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away.
Roffey is about 1 mile north-east of Horsham, in West Sussex. Roffey gets the same service as everywhere else we work: a careful look at whatever is safely visible, photos and a clear written report. Our West Sussex coverage includes Roffey.
We work across the RH12 and RH13 postcode area for storm damage roof reports. Whether your property is on Innes Road, Agate Lane and Manor Road or a nearby road, we can help. We also cover Mannings Heath (2 miles south), Faygate (2 miles north-east), Colgate (2 miles east), Monk's Gate (3 miles south) and Kilnwood Vale (3 miles north-east).

What’s near Roffey

Why get it checked now?
With an independent report, you have something specific to show your insurer. It sets out what we found and the likely cause, so you’re not relying only on your own photos. Homes in smaller places like Roffey can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Each storm lifts it a little further, and water follows.
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.
