Storm damage roof reports near Boughton Green

The survey, step by step

We don’t take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Somewhere as small as Boughton Green, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.

  1. We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
  2. We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
  3. The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it is safe.
  4. Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
  5. The report, with photos, is emailed to you.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
  • Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
  • Show us where any leaks or stains appear

Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Boughton Green

After a storm, safety comes first. Photograph the damage from the ground or a window, and never climb up. Emergency temporary protection, such as covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. Typical surveys look at water coming in after the storm and damage from fallen branches or debris, on gutters and fascias, chimney stacks and flat roofs.

Somewhere as small as Boughton Green, older roofs have often been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you are thinking of an insurance claim. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.

You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Common roof problems in Boughton Green

Gusts work at anything on a roof that’s loose or exposed. Driving rain then gets in through the gaps. Most people book a report soon after a storm, when they’ve seen damage or water has come in.

It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:

  • Lead lifted at abutments
  • Damaged ridges and hips
  • Broken or displaced guttering
  • Flat roof edges peeled back

If you own a rental within reach of East Farleigh station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

What a roof survey includes

What happens if roof problems are left?

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. For an older or listed building in a place like Boughton Green, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.

Every price we give includes VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for your survey before you book.

What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports

Survey packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:

  • Basic, Standard or Premium
  • Building height and the viewpoints available
  • Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
  • Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own

What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.

Getting in touch

You don’t need to know any roofing terms. Just tell us:

  • Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
  • Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
  • Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
  • The property’s address and postcode

Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.

FAQs for Boughton Green

Will you come out to Boughton Green?

We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.

How do I find out if my home in Boughton Green is listed?

Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.

Can I challenge a declined storm 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, but we can’t say how it will turn out.

What’s the best way to book?

Simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.

Is this an asbestos survey?

No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.

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.

Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?

Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.

Storm damage roof reports around Boughton Green

About 2.5 miles north-east lies Stoneacre, a reminder of how long the area around Boughton Green has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.

For site and facilities teams at buildings like Boughton Monchelsea Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. Shop and office owners around The Mall Maidstone may find that a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters.

Should I look at the roof myself first?

If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.

Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
