Storm damage roof reports around Bloodden
Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. 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. About 1.5 miles east lies Goodnestone Park, a reminder of how long the area around Bloodden has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
Anyone responsible for a site like Adisham Church of England Primary School will know that tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. If you let a flat or house near Adisham station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

About our storm damage roof report in Bloodden
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. It is a photo-illustrated written report, sent by email. It isn’t a repair quote and doesn’t include repair costs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. We survey flashings, chimney stacks and slate and tile slopes, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are lead lifted at abutments and new damp or leaks inside.
Being in a small place like Bloodden makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It’s useful 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.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos, sent to you by email. On timing, most surveys take about one to two hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. Rural addresses near Bloodden can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
How to book
We survey roofs seven days a week. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Before and after the survey
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
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.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Bloodden?
Strong winds lift loose or poorly fixed slates and tiles, ridge pieces and flashings. Rain can then blow in where slates or tiles have gone. People normally call us after a storm, once they’ve noticed damage or a leak.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Water coming in after the storm
- Lead lifted at abutments
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of the Holy Innocents, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
Before you book anyone
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- How long the report takes to arrive
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- The size of the roof
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Helping us price your survey
These details help when you get in touch:
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
Once you know what you need, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date.
Bloodden: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Bloodden?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bloodden?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to.
How long is the visit?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The written report follows by email.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Our reports start from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. The report doesn’t include repair costs.
What’s the best way to book?
It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we’ll suggest the right survey. We survey seven days a week.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We are not loss adjusters and don’t act for you with the insurer. We provide an independent record of the roof for you to send to your insurer.
Can I check my roof myself?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
