Storm damage roof report in Sullington, West Sussex
We take a careful look at the roof at your property in Sullington, and put it all in a written report with photos.
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
What happens if roof problems are left?
If a roofer needs to make the roof safe, take photos first if you can do so safely from the ground. Those photos show the damage as it was. In a small place like Sullington, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we will tell you which fits.
Why us?
- Drone and thermal imaging surveys available
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- PI and public liability insurance
- Surveys on weekdays and at weekends

How a storm damage roof report works in Sullington
We inspect the roof from wherever it can safely be seen: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there’s access, and the roof itself where that is safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. We note any part we couldn’t see. You get a report with photos to give to your insurer. We survey chimney stacks, flashings and flat roofs, and people most often book us about damaged ridges and hips and damaged pots on the stack.
For a small place like Sullington, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Sullington?
Landlords and building managers frequently need a written record after a storm. The report can be shared with owners, tenants or insurers.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Broken or displaced guttering
If you look after a building such as Thakeham Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- What happens after the report arrives
Roof by roof
Flat roof coverings
Edge trims and laps are often where flat roof coverings start to peel back. The report notes signs of recent damage and older wear.
Chimney stacks
Flashings around stacks can lift in strong winds. We photograph any we find.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Common questions in Sullington
Do you cover smaller places like Sullington?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
How do I find out if my home in Sullington is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only if it is safe. We inspect whatever is safely visible: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
How do I book a survey in Sullington?
Just call 07833 053749 or email us with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. Repair costs are not included, so ask a roofer to quote.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
It varies by policy. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but check your own wording.
What we cannot see
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Bear these in mind:
- How your policy defines a storm
- Negotiating a claim settlement
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will tell you. What our survey covers.

- Flashings
- Ridges and hips
- Chimney stacks

How the survey works
The visit has one job: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. It typically takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a small place like Sullington, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the loft space where it is safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- The findings are written up with photographs for you to share with your insurer.
How to prepare
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent

Leaks and storm damage in Sullington
With Parham House about 2.5 miles west, Sullington sits in an area with a long building history. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near The Parish Church of St Mary, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. Landlords with a home close to Amberley station may find that a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away.
