Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Snow Hill
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. It’s yours to pass to your insurer. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We aren’t loss adjusters and cannot say whether a claim will be paid. Common reasons to book are loose or torn flashings and torn or lifted flat roof coverings, across gutters and fascias, slate and tile slopes and flashings.
Roofs in small places like Snow Hill frequently stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

What happens if roof problems are left?
It helps to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Further storms and quick fixes can make the picture less clear. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Snow Hill, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

What else we do in Snow Hill
What we’re asked to look at in Snow Hill
Flat roofs can be damaged too. Coverings can tear or peel back at the edges, and water can pond where outlets are blocked. We record what we find on flat and pitched roofs alike.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Water coming in after the storm
If you own a rental within reach of East Grinstead station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
Questions to ask before you book
- What experience they bring
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- What happens after the report arrives
What happens on the day
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Somewhere as small as Snow Hill, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Related advice
Can I check my roof myself?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Useful tips for Snow Hill property owners
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
If you are unhappy with how your insurer handles the claim, you can complain to them first. If that doesn’t resolve it, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
What this survey can’t tell you
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
- Your insurer’s view of the claim
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will suggest the right survey. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

Questions from Snow Hill
Is Snow Hill in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Snow Hill as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is my home in Snow Hill listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not unless it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
Only your insurer can decide that. We record the damage, with photos and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Snow Hill roofs and the weather
Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. About 3.4 miles south-east lies Saint Hill Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Snow Hill has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
