How a storm damage roof report works in Salvington
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from the ground, from windows and higher points, from the roof space and from the roof where it is safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. If part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. You get a written report with photos to give to your insurer. We are often asked to look into cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind and flat roof edges peeled back, on flashings, ridges and hips and slate and tile slopes.
Houses in smaller places like Salvington can stand more in the open, so wind and driving rain find any weakness in ridges, verges and flashings. A leak that only appears in certain weather frequently points to an exposed detail. It helps to know when and where the water appears. The gutters on the most exposed side can overflow too.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, like when you want to compare after future work.

What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report. It usually takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. With a bit of garden around a house, as there frequently is around Salvington, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. The loft, where there is safe access, completes the picture.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there is access.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

Leaks and storm damage in Salvington
The coast is about 3 miles or less from Salvington, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, and driving rain finds any gap they leave, while salt slowly corrodes metal fixings and flashings. The wider area around Salvington has a long history of building, with Ecclesden Manor about 3.2 miles west. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like 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 own a rental within reach of West Worthing station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. Trees in and around Durrington Minature Railway shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Salvington
Your policy may say how quickly you need to report damage. Let your insurer know early, and check what your policy asks for. Our report can then add a clear record. In a smaller place like Salvington, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing does not stay loose for long. Wind gets under it and lifts more, and water follows.
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, with VAT included, and we will tell you which fits.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
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.
For landlords and managing agents
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
What we’re asked to look at in Salvington
Roofs that were already worn are more likely to suffer in a storm. Corroded nails on slate roofs, worn mortar on ridges and old flashings can all give way. We record recent damage alongside older defects.
Problems we come across often include:
- New damp or leaks inside
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
If you live in an older home near St Symphorian's Church, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Salvington
Will you come out to Salvington?
Yes, Salvington is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Is the coastal weather around Salvington hard on roofs?
Generally, yes: wind and salt air take more of a toll near the sea. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it usually shows, and Salvington is within about 3 miles of the coast.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We aren’t loss adjusters and do not act for you with the insurer. We give you an independent report of the damage, which you can pass to your insurer.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Do you look in the roof space?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
How do I book a survey in Salvington?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or email us. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we will suggest the right survey. Surveys run seven days a week.
