Storm damage roof report in Three Oaks, East Sussex
Storm damage roof reports across Three Oaks, backed by more than 20 years’ experience. Every survey ends with a written report and photographs.
- Loose or torn flashings
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Damaged flat roof membrane
What we do, step by step
We’ll ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a small place like Three Oaks, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You let us know when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the roof space where it is safe.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Keep pets in another room
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
Arrange a survey
If you’re buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
Advice
Storm damage roof report in Three Oaks
The Financial Ombudsman looks at three things when it considers a storm damage complaint: were there storm conditions on or around the date, is the damage consistent with a storm, and was the storm the main cause. Our report focuses on the second and third points. You or your insurer can check the weather for the date. If you are worried about broken or displaced guttering and damaged ridges and hips, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Being in a small place like Three Oaks makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned in advance. It’s useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Storm damage roof reports around Three Oaks
Three Oaks lies within about 3 miles of the sea, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, and driving rain finds any gap they leave, and salt air slowly wears metal fixings. About 4.9 miles north-west lies Durhamford Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Three Oaks has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
Landlords with a home close to Three Oaks station may find that tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St Laurence's Church, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. If you look after a building like Buckswood School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

Why get it checked now?
If a roofer needs to make the roof safe, take photos first if you can do so safely from ground level. Those photos show the damage as it was. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

Three Oaks: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Three Oaks is listed?
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.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Three Oaks?
Generally, yes: wind and salt air take more of a toll near the sea. Exposed details like ridges, verges, flashings and metal fixings are the ones to watch, and Three Oaks is within about 3 miles of the coast.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not unless it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
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, for you to give to your insurer.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
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 for any emergency work.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
What a storm damage roof report doesn’t cover
