About our storm damage roof report in Snagshall
High winds typically affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Falling branches can cause damage too. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. If you’re worried about lead lifted at abutments and damaged pots on the stack, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Snagshall, older roofs have often been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

How we price storm damage roof reports
We confirm the price for the job before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
What we need to know
Before you get in touch, it’s useful to have:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- What made you get in touch
Once you know what you need, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.

Why it is worth a survey now in Snagshall
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 older village homes like those around Snagshall, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.

The survey, step by step
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is safe access, from inside the loft space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey usually takes between one and two hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. Rural addresses near Snagshall can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
How to prepare
- Check pets are kept safely away
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming

Surveys for landlords and agents in Snagshall
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey on any day of the week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
How the survey changes by roof type
Lead flashings
Old flashings that were already loose can give way in a storm. We record what looks recent and what looks older.
Clay and concrete tiles
A missing tile lets rain reach the underlay. Each gap is recorded with a photo.
Snagshall questions
Is my home in Snagshall listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you cover Snagshall?
Yes, Snagshall is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. Repair costs are not part of the report.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
Start by complaining to the insurer. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that does not resolve it. The Ombudsman looks at whether there were storm conditions, whether the damage fits a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Stay off the roof. Take photos from ground level or from windows. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Tips from our surveys
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
After the visit, we write up the report with photographs of each area of damage. It covers the damage, its likely cause and any older defects. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
Check the roof from ground level after strong winds. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
Wind, rain and roofs in Snagshall
The wider area around Snagshall has a long history of building, with Great Dixter about 2.2 miles east. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. 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. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
The streets around a church such as The Parish Church of St James are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. If you let a flat or house near Robertsbridge station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. If you look after a building such as Bodiam Church of England Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
