How a storm damage roof report works in Beltinge
After a storm, safety comes first. Photograph the damage from ground level or a window, and never climb up. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. If you’ve noticed cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind and damaged ridges and hips, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flashings, slate and tile slopes and ridges and hips alike.
Houses in smaller places like Beltinge can stand more in the open, where driving rain gets into any gap at a ridge, verge or flashing. A leak that only appears in certain weather often points to an exposed detail. Tell us when it happens when you contact us. The gutters on the most exposed side can overflow too.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

When to book a survey in Beltinge
Landlords and managing agents book reports to keep a record for owners and insurers. The report can be shared with owners, tenants or insurers.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Damaged gutters and fascias
Homes near green spaces such as Bishopstone Cliffs can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn.
Questions to ask before booking
- When you will get the report
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- What the survey will not cover
What a survey costs
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The roof’s overall size
- The shape of the roof and its details
- House, block, shop or office
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. You’ll know the price for your survey before booking.
What we need to know
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, it’s useful to mention:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- The property’s address and postcode
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
How the survey changes by roof type
Slate roofs
In high winds, slates can slip or go, frequently where nails have rusted. Our report notes moved slates and any sign of older corrosion.
Clay and concrete tiles
Strong gusts can lift and break tiles. The report shows each damaged area.
Honest limits
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Your insurer’s view of the claim
- Areas we cannot see safely
- Negotiating a claim settlement
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll recommend the right survey before booking. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
What we check
- Flashings
- Ridges and hips
- Flat roofs
- Gutters and fascias
- Chimney stacks
- Slate and tile slopes
Storm damage roof reports in Beltinge: local notes
Beltinge lies within about 1 mile of the sea, so storms can arrive with strong gusts off the water. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording, and many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, though it varies. Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Bartholomew, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. If you look after a building like Reculver Church of England Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
Beltinge is about 1 mile east of Herne Bay, in Kent. Beltinge is one of many places we visit across Kent. Beltinge is one of the towns and villages in Kent where we work. Canterbury is in our area too.

Beltinge: your questions answered
Is my home in Beltinge listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Beltinge within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. If it’s safe, photograph the damage before it is covered. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from ground level, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
What’s the best way to book?
Just call 07833 053749 or email us with the address. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It depends on your policy. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Check your policy wording.
How long does the survey take?
Most surveys take an hour or two for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. We’ll confirm the timing when booking.
Why it is worth a survey now in Beltinge
Damage left open lets in more rain. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. Emergency temporary protection should be arranged with a roofer. In a smaller place like Beltinge, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing doesn’t stay loose for long. Wind gets under it and lifts more.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we can help you choose.

The survey, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes between one and two hours for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Parking around Beltinge is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from ground level, with the loft showing the underside.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
