About our storm damage roof report in Badgers Mount
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. It is a photo-illustrated written report, sent by email. It does not price the repairs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. We survey flashings, flat roofs and slate and tile slopes, and common reasons people get in touch are slipped or missing slates or tiles and roofs hit by falling trees.
Being in a small place like Badgers Mount makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It helps 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.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Will you come out to Badgers Mount?
Yes, Badgers Mount is covered. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Badgers Mount?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Larger or more complex roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs aren’t included, so ask a roofer to quote.
What do I do if water is coming in?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. Our report then records the roof.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Only from ground level or from windows. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. Binoculars can help you see damage from below, and we will record the rest.
How experienced are you?

What if my insurer declines the claim?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. If you are still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. An independent report can add to your evidence, though we can’t predict the outcome.

What else we do in Badgers Mount
What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take between one and two hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a small place like Badgers Mount, access is usually the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We view the roof from wherever it can be seen safely, including the loft where there is access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
How to prepare
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Keep pets in another room

Common roof problems in Badgers Mount
A storm often finds a roof’s existing weak spots. Nail fatigue, eroded ridge mortar and tired flashings can all fail in high winds. We record recent damage alongside older defects.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
Take an older house close to St Margaret's Church: the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Which limits apply to the survey
- What happens after the report arrives
Roof by roof
Ridge and hip tiles
Ridge tiles bedded in old mortar can loosen in high winds. Our report says whether it looks freshly damaged or worn over time.
Lead flashings
Wind can peel back flashings at abutments and stacks. We record which are loose or damaged.
Before and after the survey
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
The report is emailed to you, and you decide what to send to your insurer. We do not deal with the insurer on your behalf.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it as you book and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
Leaks and storm damage in Badgers Mount
Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed. With Lullingstone Castle about 2.5 miles north-east, Badgers Mount sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you own a rental within reach of Knockholt station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. If you look after a building such as Halstead Community Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

Why act early in Badgers Mount
