Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Bredgar
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Take photos from ground level or from windows, and do not climb onto the roof. Emergency temporary protection, such as covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. If you’ve noticed gaps where slates or tiles have gone and new damp or leaks inside, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Bredgar, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. We look at whatever is safely visible and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

What a survey costs
Survey packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- House, block, shop or office
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
Every price we give includes VAT. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. Just let us know:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- What’s prompted the survey
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know the cost up front. Prices start from £150, including VAT. To book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What you can safely check yourself
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That’s where a survey comes in.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Bredgar
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, with the most urgent items set out first.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.
Honest limits
It is useful to know what a survey will not do before you book:
- The outcome of a claim
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
- Negotiating a claim settlement
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking. The full list of what we check.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Bredgar
Gusts work at anything on a roof that’s loose or exposed. Rain can then blow in where slates or tiles have gone. Most people book a report soon after a storm, when they’ve seen damage or water has come in.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Water coming in after the storm
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
If you live near a park such as Cromers Wood, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
What to check before booking
- When you will get the report
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see

Leaks and storm damage in Bredgar
The coast is about 5 miles or less from Bredgar, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Strong wind lifts anything already loose, and driving rain gets in wherever it can. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand.
For landlords with property near Sittingbourne 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 John the Baptist, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

What we do, step by step
The visit has one job: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It normally takes an hour or two at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a hamlet or village like Bredgar, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You let us know when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there is access.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Common questions in Bredgar
Will you come out to Bredgar?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
How do I find out if my home in Bredgar is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. We record the damage, with photos and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
What’s the best way to book?
Just ring 07833 053749 or email us. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
How long is the visit?
Expect it to take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
How are storm damage reports priced?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. The report does not include repair costs.
