Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Shripney
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. It’s a written report with photos, sent by email. It isn’t a repair quote and doesn’t include repair costs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for that. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. Typical surveys look at damage from fallen branches or debris and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind, across flashings, ridges and hips and gutters and fascias.
For a small place like Shripney, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Honest limits
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- Acting for you with the insurer
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up

Storm damage roof reports in Shripney: local notes
Shripney lies within about 3 miles of the sea, where storms can bring strong gusts off the sea. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording, and many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, though it varies. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bersted Green Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. If you own a rental within reach of Bognor Regis station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. Living close to The Brooks Local Nature Reserve is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn.
Shripney is about 2 miles north-east of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. Shripney gets the same service as everywhere else we work: a careful look at what can be seen safely, photos and a clear written report.

Before and after the survey
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Photograph the damage safely from below
The report is emailed to you, and you decide what to send to your insurer. It’s your record to use.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
FAQs for Shripney
Is the coastal weather around Shripney hard on roofs?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there’s more wind, and more salt in the air. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it normally shows.
Is my home in Shripney listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
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, which you can pass to your insurer.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details when you book.
What’s the best way to book?
Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
How long is the visit?
Expect it to take between one and two hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Shripney
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey on any day of the week, which can make access easier.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out by urgency where it matters, which helps with budgets and planning.
The survey, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take an hour or two for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Cottages and farmhouses around Shripney often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- 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’s access.
- The damage is recorded with photos, area by area.
- We check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached

Advice
Why it’s worth a survey now in Shripney
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. Around Shripney, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both including VAT. You will know the exact price before booking.
