Storm damage roof report in Barnes Street: what you get
After a storm, it helps to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We are not loss adjusters and cannot tell you if your claim will succeed. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. We survey flat roofs, gutters and fascias and ridges and hips, and people most often book us about broken or displaced guttering and water coming in after the storm.
For a small place like Barnes Street, the inspection is the same as anywhere: 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, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
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.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Barnes Street
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
How it works
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photographs, emailed to you. On timing, it typically takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Somewhere like Barnes Street needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.

Nearby places to Barnes Street
Also in Barnes Street
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Barnes Street?
Landlords and building managers frequently need a written record after a storm. The report can be shared with owners, tenants or insurers.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Loose or torn flashings
- Water coming in after the storm
Take a building like Hadlow Rural Community School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

Barnes Street questions
Do you cover smaller places like Barnes Street?
Yes, Barnes Street is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Barnes Street?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We are not loss adjusters and don’t act for you with the insurer. We provide an independent record of the roof, which you can pass to your insurer.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. We record the damage, with photos and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Barnes Street
Across Kent, older roofs are frequently handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed. About 4 miles north lies Old Soar Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Barnes Street has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Golden Green Mission Church, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. Landlords with a home close to Beltring station may find that finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

Checking the roof from ground level
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Roof by roof
Slate roofs
After strong winds, we often see cracked and slipped slates. Each area is photographed and described.
Lead flashings
Old flashings that were already loose can give way in a storm. Our report separates fresh damage from older wear where we can.
