Storm damage roof report in Steven's Crouch, East Sussex

How a storm damage roof report works in Steven's Crouch
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. It’s a written report with photographs, sent by email. It doesn’t price the repairs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for that. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. Typical surveys look at slipped or missing slates or tiles and torn or lifted flat roof coverings, across ridges and hips, chimney stacks and flat roofs.
For a small place like Steven's Crouch, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

What a storm damage roof report doesn’t cover

Roof by roof
Chimney stacks
Stacks with existing defects tend to suffer more in storms. Our report notes recent damage and older defects.
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles without fixings can move more easily in wind. We note what we can see of how tiles are fixed.
Storm damage roof reports around Steven's Crouch
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. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. About 4 miles north-east lies Durhamford Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Steven's Crouch has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you own a rental within reach of Battle station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. Living close to Ashburnham Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

What we do, step by step

Older rural homes like those around Steven's Crouch can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Before we arrive

Related advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer.
What we’re asked to look at in Steven's Crouch
A storm frequently finds a roof’s existing weak spots. Corroded nails on slate roofs, worn mortar on ridges and old flashings can all give way. We record recent damage alongside older defects.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- New damp or leaks inside
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Lead lifted at abutments
Anyone responsible for a site like Claverham Community College will know that tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Is VAT included in the price?

Steven's Crouch questions
How do I find out if my home in Steven's Crouch is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Steven's Crouch?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Steven's Crouch is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. Take photos from the ground first if it’s safe. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Will you check the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
