Storm Damage Roof Report in Warbleton
An experienced roof surveyor for storm damage roof reports in Warbleton. Over 5,000 surveys and 20+ years behind us across London and South East England.

- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Warbleton
Strong winds lift loose or poorly fixed slates and tiles, ridge pieces and flashings. Driving rain then gets in through the gaps. Most people book a report soon after a storm, when they’ve seen damage or water has come in.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Mary, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
Storm damage roof report in Warbleton: what you get
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. It sets out what is damaged, with photos, and what we think the likely cause is. It’s yours to pass to your insurer. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We are not loss adjusters, and we cannot tell you whether a claim will succeed. We’re frequently asked to look into torn or lifted flat roof coverings and ridge tiles that have come loose, on ridges and hips, flat roofs and chimney stacks.
Many homes in small places like Warbleton face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

The survey, step by step
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Around Warbleton, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Check we can get to the back of the property

Outbuildings and barns around Warbleton are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out by urgency where it matters, which helps when budgeting.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.
Storm damage roof reports in Warbleton: local notes
Older houses across Sussex often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs, and the county’s older buildings include oast houses and Wealden hall houses. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. Horselunges Manor, about 4 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Warbleton. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Take a building like Heathfield Community College: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

What you can safely check yourself
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.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
Warbleton: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Warbleton 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.
Do you cover smaller places like Warbleton?
Yes, Warbleton is covered. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof 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.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
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.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. Take photos from ground level first if it is safe. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Safely, from ground level or a window. Do not use a ladder or go onto the roof. With binoculars, you can see a lot from the ground, and we’ll record the rest.
