Three Leg Cross Storm Damage Roof Report
Storm damage roof reports in Three Leg Cross from an independent, experienced roof surveyor. More than 20 years and over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
- Broken or displaced guttering
- New damp or leaks inside
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
Can I check my roof myself?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
About our storm damage roof report in Three Leg Cross
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from the ground, from windows and higher points, from the loft space and from the roof where it’s safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. If part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. We survey flashings, flat roofs and chimney stacks, and common reasons people get in touch are holes or cracks caused by debris and gaps where slates or tiles have gone.
In a village or hamlet like Three Leg Cross, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, particularly to an insurer. We look at what can safely be seen and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
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.

What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roof coverings
Debris blown onto a flat roof can puncture the covering or block outlets. Any damage is recorded with photos.
Ridge and hip tiles
The ridge and hips are among the most exposed parts of a roof. The survey notes loose, cracked or missing ridge and hip tiles.
Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Three Leg Cross
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Three Leg Cross?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Will you come out to Three Leg Cross?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Our reports start from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. The report does not include repair costs.
How do I book a survey in Three Leg Cross?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
Only your insurer can decide that. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so you know what the roof shows. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
How long does the survey take?
Most surveys take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. We’ll confirm the timing when booking.
Practical tips
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
If anything in the report is not clear, just ask us. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.

How we price storm damage roof reports
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- The size of the roof
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
What we need to know
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, tell us:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- What made you get in touch
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- When you need the report by
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from ground level or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Three Leg Cross
Storms do not only affect pitched roofs. Wind can lift edges and tear coverings, and blocked outlets can leave water ponding after heavy rain. We record what we find on flat and pitched roofs alike.
Common reasons to book include:
- Water coming in after the storm
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
If you live in an older home near St Mary's Church, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.
Questions to ask before booking
- When you will get the report
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
Three Leg Cross roofs and the weather
The wider area around Three Leg Cross has a long history of building, with Scotney Castle about 2.6 miles north. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. In Sussex, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings, alongside oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
If you let a flat or house near Stonegate 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 Ticehurst and Flimwell Church of England Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.
