When you claim, your insurer may ask for evidence of the damage and its cause. A written report with photos gives you something clear to pass on. The decision still rests with the insurer.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
For landlords with property near Crowborough station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

- What follow-up you get after the report
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- What the survey won’t cover
- What insurance they carry
Storm damage roof report in Wellbrook
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Photograph the damage from the ground or a window, and never climb up. Emergency temporary protection, such as covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. We survey ridges and hips, gutters and fascias and chimney stacks, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged flat roof membrane and stains appearing after strong winds.
Somewhere as small as Wellbrook, older roofs have often been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. We check whatever is safely visible and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Take a look at what a roof survey costs and our case studies.
How it works
We will ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Around Wellbrook, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You let us know when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We view the roof from wherever it can be seen safely, including the loft where there’s access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- The findings are written up with photographs for you to share with your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent

Storm damage roof reports in Wellbrook: local notes
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. 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. In Sussex, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. 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.
If you look after a building such as Mayfield Church of England Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St. Dunstan, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

Clay and concrete tiles
A missing tile lets rain reach the underlay. We photograph each gap.

Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Wellbrook in the area you cover?
Yes, Wellbrook is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Wellbrook?
Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Tell us about it when booking and we will plan the survey around it.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We aren’t loss adjusters and don’t act for you with the insurer. We provide an independent record of the roof, which you can pass to your insurer.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
