Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Bitchet Green
Do you carry out roof surveys in Bitchet Green?
Yes, Bitchet Green is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Do you cover smaller places like Bitchet Green?
Yes, Bitchet Green is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you look in the roof space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
What if the roof was already worn?
Insurers normally exclude wear and tear. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. Your insurer decides the claim.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
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.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Our reports start from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. The report doesn’t include repair costs.
How a storm damage roof report works in Bitchet Green
What counts as a storm depends on your policy, though many use gusts of about 55 mph. Check your own policy wording. We don’t decide whether a storm met that test. We record the damage and what seems to have caused it. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. The claim decision rests with your insurer. If you’ve noticed new damp or leaks inside and damaged ridges and hips, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Many homes in small places like Bitchet Green face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Why act early in Bitchet Green
Once the storm has passed, damage that looked minor can let water in for months. Getting it recorded and repaired sooner is typically better. Around Bitchet Green, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.

Wind, rain and roofs in Bitchet Green
With Ightham Mote about 1 mile south-east, Bitchet Green sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. Older houses across Kent frequently have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
For an older house near a landmark like St Lawrence, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. If you live near a park such as Ivy Hatch Nature Reserve, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. Anyone responsible for a site like St Lawrence Church of England Primary School will know that water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

Different roofs, different checks
Lead flashings

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.

What we do, step by step
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Older roofs in small places like Bitchet Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We check the roof from wherever it is safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
How to prepare
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
