Storm damage roof report in Allhallows-on-Sea: what you get
High winds typically affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Falling branches can cause damage too. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. If you’ve noticed flashings pulled away from walls or stacks and flat roof edges peeled back, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Roofs in small places like Allhallows-on-Sea frequently stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photo. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

FAQs for Allhallows-on-Sea
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Allhallows-on-Sea, take more of a battering?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, while strong wind lifts anything already loose.
Is my home in Allhallows-on-Sea listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Allhallows-on-Sea in your area?
Yes. We cover Allhallows-on-Sea and the rest of Medway. For a price, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
Complain to your insurer first. If you’re still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, but we cannot say how it will turn out.
Will you check the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
When you need someone else
Before you book, it’s worth knowing what a survey won’t do:
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
- Your insurer’s view of the claim
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking. The full list of what we check.

Allhallows-on-Sea roofs and the weather
The coast is about 1 mile or less from Allhallows-on-Sea, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Strong wind lifts anything already loose, and driving rain gets in wherever it can, while salt slowly corrodes metal fixings and flashings. Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. You will also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
For landlords with property near Chalkwell station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. Take a building like Allhallows Primary Academy: a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside.
