Storm damage roof report in Blue Town: what you get
Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies by policy. Check your own policy wording. Whether the weather met it is for your insurer. We record the damage and what seems to have caused it. The report includes photos of each area of damage, and you decide what to send. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. If you are worried about stains appearing after strong winds and flat roof edges peeled back, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a smaller place like Blue Town, some roofs face open ground, so wind and driving rain find any weakness in ridges, verges and flashings. If a leak shows only when the wind is in a certain direction, that’s a useful clue. It’s useful to know when and where the water appears. The gutters on the most exposed side can overflow too.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Storm damage roof reports in Blue Town: local notes
The coast is about 1 mile or less from Blue Town, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Driving rain off the sea can be pushed into gaps that stay dry in calmer weather, while salt slowly corrodes metal fixings and flashings. 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.
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of the Holy Trinity, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. Homes near green spaces like Barton's Point Coastal Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. If you own a rental within reach of Sheerness-On-Sea station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

Useful tips for Blue Town property owners
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. If that doesn’t resolve it, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
What happens on the day
We look at the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the roof space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a smaller place like Blue Town, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from the ground, and the loft shows the rest.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We view the roof from wherever it can be seen safely, including the loft where there’s access.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
How to book
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Blue Town
Will you come out to Blue Town?
Yes. Blue Town is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Blue Town?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
What if the roof was already worn?
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. We note both storm damage and older defects, so you know what the roof shows. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
Complain to your insurer first. If you’re still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, though we cannot predict the outcome.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. It does not include repair costs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for those.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when booking.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Safely, from the ground or a window. Do not use a ladder or go onto the roof. Binoculars can help you see damage from below and we will inspect the rest from safe positions.
