Storm damage roof report in Wisborough Green
We inspect the roof from wherever it can be seen safely: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there’s access, and the roof itself where that is safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. If part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. You get a written report with photos to give to your insurer. We survey slate and tile slopes, ridges and hips and flashings, and the problems we are asked to look at most are flat roof edges peeled back and ridge tiles that have come loose.
Somewhere as small as Wisborough Green, older roofs have often been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, particularly to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

Wind, rain and roofs in Wisborough Green
Historic houses like Old Place Manor, about 4.4 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Wisborough Green goes. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Peter Ad Vincula, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. Take a building like Wisborough Green Primary School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

What a survey costs
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Height and safe access
- How big the roof is
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT.
What we need to know
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- The kind of building and roof involved
- What made you get in touch
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from the ground or a window, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
The survey, step by step
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, from the ground, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where applicable. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Around Wisborough Green, 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. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We view the roof from wherever it can safely be seen, including the loft where there’s access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- The findings are written up with photographs for you to share with your insurer.
Before the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Let us know about parking near the property

Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
The report is emailed to you, and you decide what to send to your insurer. It’s your record to use.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
Wisborough Green: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Wisborough Green?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you cover smaller places like Wisborough Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We’ll talk about access as you book.
What’s the best way to book?
It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll point you to the right survey. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. We record the damage, with photographs and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
