Tips from our surveys
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
Once we have been, the findings are written up with photos. It covers the damage, its likely cause and any older defects. 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.
How a storm damage roof report works in Wiggonholt
After a storm, it is useful to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. Our report shows the damage in photos and says whether it looks like storm damage, wear and tear, or a mix. We are not loss adjusters, and we can’t say whether a claim will be paid. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. Common reasons to book are damaged ridges and hips and damage from fallen branches or debris, on ridges and hips, flashings and gutters and fascias.
For a small place like Wiggonholt, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned in advance. It is useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What you can safely check yourself
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That’s where a survey comes in.
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. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.

For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
Wind, rain and roofs in Wiggonholt
In Sussex, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed. Historic houses such as Parham House, about 1.5 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Wiggonholt goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you let a flat or house near Pulborough station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. Trees in and around Parham Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters. Take an older house close to Wiggonholt Church: the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

What we do, step by step

It usually takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer.

- You tell us when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there is access.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
