How a storm damage roof report works in Boughton Corner
Our storm damage report starts from £150. It’s a written report with photos, sent by email. It is not a repair quote and does not include repair costs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. We survey flashings, chimney stacks and gutters and fascias, and people most often book us about damaged gutters and fascias and torn or lifted flat roof coverings.
Roofs in small places like Boughton Corner frequently stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Useful tips for Boughton Corner property owners
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Take photos from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
You’ll need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. They can use our report to see what needs doing.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, with the most urgent items set out first.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Why it is worth a survey now in Boughton Corner
Many policies expect damage to be reported promptly. Check the wording and tell your insurer as soon as you can. Our report can then add a clear record. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Why book with us
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Surveys on any day of the week

Boughton Corner: your questions answered
Is Boughton Corner within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
How do I find out if my home in Boughton Corner is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
What do I do if water is coming in?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. We can record the damage in our report.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, though we can’t predict the outcome.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We inspect what can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
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.
Checking the roof from the ground
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
What this survey cannot tell you
It’s a careful look at the roof, not the whole story. Its limits include:
- How your policy defines a storm
- A decision on your insurance claim
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you. What a survey covers and does not.

How the survey works
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Somewhere like Boughton Corner needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.

Boughton Corner roofs and the weather
Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. Godinton House, about 4.4 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Boughton Corner. 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 any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For an older house near a landmark such as All Saints’ Church, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near County Square, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters. Take a building like Lady Joanna Thornhill Endowed Primary School: a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside.
