Storm damage roof report in Warnham, West Sussex
Storm damage roof reports in Warnham, backed by more than 20 years’ experience. Every survey ends with a written report and photos.
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
Tips that help
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
The report is emailed to you, and you decide what to send to your insurer. We don’t deal with the insurer on your behalf.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Warnham
Our storm damage report starts from £150. It’s a report with photos, sent by email. It doesn’t price the repairs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for that. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. If you’re worried about slates and tiles blown off the roof and gutters pulled loose in the wind, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
For a small place like Warnham, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned in advance. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Storm damage roof reports in Warnham: local notes
If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
Take a building like Warnham CofE Primary School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. Homes near green spaces like Warnham Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. If you own a rental within reach of Warnham station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
Warnham is about 2 miles north-west of Horsham, in West Sussex. Warnham gets the same service as everywhere else we work: a careful inspection, photographs and a written report. Our West Sussex coverage includes Warnham. You can also see our page for Crawley.

Can I check my roof myself?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
