About our storm damage roof report in Westfield
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. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. Common reasons to book are loose or torn flashings and stains appearing after strong winds, on ridges and hips, chimney stacks and slate and tile slopes.
In a village or hamlet like Westfield, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. 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 look at everything that’s safely in view and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Common questions in Westfield
Do you cover smaller places like Westfield?
Yes, Westfield is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is my home in Westfield listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s 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.
How long does the survey take?
Most surveys take about 1–2 hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. The report follows by email.
How do I book a survey in Westfield?
Simply call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
There is no single figure. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Your policy document will say.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Before and after the survey
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Don’t go onto the roof to take pictures
After the visit, we write up the report with photographs of each area of damage. It sets out what is damaged, the likely cause and any signs of older wear. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. They can damage the roof in high winds.
What this survey can’t tell you
In fairness, a roof survey has limits:
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- The outcome of a claim
- Areas we cannot see safely

Wind, rain and roofs in Westfield
Westfield lies within about 4 miles of the sea, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. In a coastal gale, rain is driven sideways into laps, verges and flashings. Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings, alongside oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
For an older house near a landmark like The Parish Church of St John the Baptist, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. For landlords with property near Doleham station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Priory Meadow Shopping Centre, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down.
Westfield is about 3 miles north of Hastings, in East Sussex. Whether the building in Westfield is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, we can survey the roof on a weekday or at the weekend. Across East Sussex, we cover Westfield and the places around it. Our Maidstone page covers surveys nearby.

Leave it or get it looked at?

Can I check my roof myself?
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
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 happens on the day
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Cottages and farmhouses around Westfield often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Before the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
