About our storm damage roof report in Woolbeding
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. It is a written report with photos, sent by email. It does not price the repairs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for that. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. If you’ve noticed ridge tiles that have come loose and torn or lifted flat roof coverings, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
For a small place like Woolbeding, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. It’s useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a hamlet or village like Woolbeding, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We check the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
How to book
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email, let us know about the property and we’ll recommend the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Advice
Storm damage roof reports in Woolbeding: local notes
Cowdray House, about 1.3 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Woolbeding. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
The streets around a church like The Parish Church of All Hollows are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. Hotels and guest houses near Woolbeding cannot easily close rooms for a leak, so it pays to find faults before guests do. If you look after a building such as Stedham Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

Useful tips for Woolbeding property owners
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
You get the report by email and pass it to your insurer yourself. We don’t deal with the insurer on your behalf.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. They can damage the roof in high winds.
What we look for on each type of roof
Slate roofs
Slates often outlast the nails that hold them. We look at whether slipped slates suggest storm damage, older wear or both.
Clay and concrete tiles
A missing tile lets rain reach the underlay. Each gap is recorded with a photo.
Can I check my roof myself?
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.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
What we cannot see
This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
- Estimates of repair costs
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will recommend the right survey. The full list of what we check.
What we check
- Flashings
- Slate and tile slopes
- Flat roofs
- Chimney stacks
- Gutters and fascias

Questions from Woolbeding
Is Woolbeding in the area you cover?
Yes, Woolbeding is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and the South East. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is Woolbeding within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 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.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we’ll point you to the right survey. Surveys run on any day of the week.
How long will you be at the property?
Most surveys take about one to two hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. We’ll confirm the timing as you book.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only if it is safe. We inspect whatever is safely visible: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
