Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Bogle
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. Our report shows the damage in photos and says whether it looks like storm damage, wear and tear, or a mix. We are not loss adjusters, and we cannot say whether a claim will be paid. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. If you’ve noticed damaged flat roof membrane and damaged pots on the stack, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Many homes in small places like Bogle face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
The written findings come 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.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Bogle
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Bogle, take more of a battering?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there is more wind, and more salt in the air. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it normally shows, and Bogle is within about 3 miles of the coast.
Is my home in Bogle listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
We cannot say whether a claim will be paid. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We are not loss adjusters and don’t act for you with the insurer. We give you an independent report of the damage, which you can pass to your insurer.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access when booking.
When you need someone else
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Bear these in mind:
- Acting for you with the insurer
- A decision on your insurance claim
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will point you to the right survey before booking. What a survey covers and does not.

Leaks and storm damage in Bogle
Bogle is within about 3 miles of the coast, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Driving rain off the sea can be pushed into gaps that stay dry in calmer weather. Historic houses such as Belmont House and Gardens, about 4 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Bogle goes. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you let a flat or house near Teynham station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Peter and St Paul, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.
Bogle is about 3 miles south-east of Sittingbourne, in Kent. Bookings from Bogle are handled just like any other: get in touch, agree the price and pick a day. Across Kent, we cover Bogle and the places around it. You can also see our page for Maidstone.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Bogle
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it as you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed beforehand. We survey on any day of the week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
What we’re asked to look at in Bogle
Strong winds lift loose or poorly fixed slates and tiles, ridge pieces and flashings. Driving rain then gets in through the gaps. People usually call us after a storm, once they’ve noticed damage or a leak.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lynsted and Norton Primary School, a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Whether the price includes VAT
- What insurance they carry
What a survey costs
Survey packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Height and safe access
Every price we give includes VAT. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the exact price before booking.
Helping us price your survey
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- Anything about access we should know
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
Not sure which survey you need? It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We’ll explain the options and the price.
How the survey works
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. In total, it takes about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Older roofs in small places like Bogle can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- 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.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Getting ready for the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Keep pets in another room
Booking a survey
When you’re ready to go ahead, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.
Related advice
Before and after the survey
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
You get the report by email and pass it to your insurer yourself. It’s your record to use.
Check the roof from ground level after strong winds. With binoculars, you can often spot problems without climbing. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
