How a storm damage roof report works in Beal's Green
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. Typical surveys look at cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind and damage from fallen branches or debris, across gutters and fascias, ridges and hips and slate and tile slopes.
Somewhere as small as Beal's Green, older roofs have often been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

What we are asked to look at in Beal's Green
Falling trees and branches can damage roofs in high winds. We record the damage and where it is, backed up with photos.
Look out for signs like these:
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
Take a building like Marlborough House School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
Before booking any roof surveyor

Common questions in Beal's Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Beal's Green?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Beal's Green in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We look at everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Do you look in the loft space?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Does this replace a RICS home 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.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
To price your survey, we look at:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The roof’s overall size
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.
What we need to know
A few details help us recommend the right survey and price. When you get in touch, it is useful to mention:
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
Unsure which package suits your roof? The easiest way is to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll explain the options and the price.

What we look for on each type of roof
Slate roofs
Slates often outlast the nails that hold them. We check whether slipped slates suggest storm damage, older wear or both.
Ridge and hip tiles
The ridge and hips are among the most exposed parts of a roof. We record any that have lifted, cracked or come away.
How the survey works
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect what can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey usually takes an hour or two for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Around Beal's Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.

Advice
Tips that help
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Don’t go onto the roof to take pictures
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
The report is emailed to you, and you decide what to send to your insurer. We don’t deal with the insurer on your behalf.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Beal's Green
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. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. The wider area around Beal's Green has a long history of building, with Scotney Castle about 5 miles north-west. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you live near a park such as Collingwood Nature Reserve, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys. If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
