Storm damage roof report in Brenzett
After a storm, it’s useful to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. 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 can’t tell you if your claim will succeed. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. If you’re worried about new damp or leaks inside and slates and tiles blown off the roof, we can find out what’s behind it, on flat roofs, ridges and hips and flashings alike.
Being in a small place like Brenzett makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned in advance. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Wind, rain and roofs in Brenzett
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand. 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. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
Take an older house close to St Eanswith's Church: the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. If you let a flat or house near Appledore (Kent) station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Brenzett Church of England Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Brenzett
Do you cover smaller places like Brenzett?
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 Brenzett is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Just say which days work for you.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when booking.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. Take photos from the ground first if it is safe. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
Do you look in the loft space?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
What this survey cannot tell you
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
- A price for the repairs
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
If you’re not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer. The full list of what we check.
Roof types and parts we check
- Flat roofs
- Gutters and fascias
- Chimney stacks
- Ridges and hips

What affects the price in Brenzett
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
What to tell us when you get in touch
Before you get in touch, it is useful to have:
- What made you get in touch
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The property’s address and postcode
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
When you’re ready to go ahead, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
What happens on the day
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes about one to two hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a hamlet or village like Brenzett, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You tell us when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the roof space where it’s safe.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- We check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Leave side gates unlocked
How to book
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form, tell us about the property and we’ll recommend the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
