Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Twineham Green

Will you come out to Twineham Green?

Yes, Twineham Green is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.

Is Twineham Green in the area you cover?

Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Twineham Green is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details.

Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?

No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.

Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?

We can’t say whether a claim will be paid. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.

Will you check the loft?

If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.

How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Twineham Green?

Just 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.

How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?

There’s no single figure. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Your policy document will say.

How a storm damage roof report works in Twineham Green

Our storm damage report starts from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It isn’t a repair quote and does not include repair costs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. 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. Common reasons to book are damaged flat roof membrane and lead lifted at abutments, across flat roofs, ridges and hips and chimney stacks.

Many homes in small places like Twineham Green face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.

Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Storm damage roof reports in Twineham Green: local notes

Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. Historic houses like Ockenden Manor, about 3.8 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Twineham Green goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.

If you let a flat or house near Burgess Hill station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. If you look after a building like Twineham CofE Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Peter, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

Twineham Green is about 4 miles west of Burgess Hill, in West Sussex. We survey roofs in Twineham Green and the surrounding area as part of our work across London and the South East.

Tips that help

These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:

  • File receipts for anything you pay for
  • Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
  • Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
  • Take photos of stains and damp inside

Questions about the findings are always welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.

Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. They can damage the roof in high winds.

Roof by roof

Ridge and hip tiles

Ridge and hip tiles take the full force of the wind. The survey notes loose, cracked or missing ridge and hip tiles.

Flat roof coverings

Edge trims and laps are often where flat roof coverings start to peel back. We check whether the damage is recent or older.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Twineham Green

With an independent report, you have something specific to show your insurer. It sets out what we found and the likely cause, alongside any photos you took yourself. Outbuildings and barns around Twineham Green are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.

The survey, step by step

You don’t need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Around Twineham Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.

  1. First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
  2. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the loft space where it is safe.
  3. The damage is recorded with photos, area by area.
  4. We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
  5. The findings are written up with photographs for you to share with your insurer.

Getting ready for the survey
