Storm damage roof reports in Bromley Green

Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Bromley Green

High winds typically affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Falling branches can cause damage too. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. Common reasons to book are damage from fallen branches or debris and gaps where slates or tiles have gone, across slate and tile slopes, chimney stacks and flashings.

Roofs in small places like Bromley Green often 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.

The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photograph. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Bromley Green

Do you carry out roof surveys in Bromley Green?

Yes, Bromley Green is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details.

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

You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is 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.

Do I have to be there for the survey?

Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We will talk about access when booking.

How do I book a survey in Bromley Green?

Simply call 07833 053749 or email us with the address. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.

Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?

Only your insurer can decide that. We record the damage, with photos and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.

How long does the survey take?

Expect it to take an hour or two at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.

Can you survey a shared roof?

Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses

If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To discuss a number of properties, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the addresses.

Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the visit with that in mind.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Bromley Green?

Others book after an insurer has queried a claim. An independent report gives you another view of the roof. We can’t say whether the decision will change.

These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:

  • Damage from fallen branches or debris
  • New damp or leaks inside
  • Loose or torn flashings
  • Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls

For businesses in and around places such as Ashford Designer Outlet, water through a ceiling can damage stock and close a sales floor, so the source needs finding fast.

Choosing a roof surveyor

  • What the survey won’t cover
  • Whether you get a written report with photos
  • Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
  • Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA

What a roof survey includes

What affects the price in Bromley Green

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

  • How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
  • Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
  • Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
  • Roof area

A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.

Getting in touch

There’s no need for technical words. It is enough to tell us:

  • Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
  • What’s prompted the survey
  • What kind of property and roof it is
  • Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside

We confirm the price for your roof before you book, so you know where you stand. Our price is from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

The survey, step by step

It’s useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Rural addresses near Bromley Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, 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.

  1. First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
  2. The roof is inspected from safe positions.
  3. We record and photograph the damage.
  4. The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
  5. You get a written report to pass to your insurer.

Before we arrive

  • Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
  • For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
  • Make sure we can get to the back of the property

Book a survey

If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or email us.

Advice

Before and after the survey

Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:

  • Keep a note of the date of the storm
  • Photograph the damage safely from below
  • Check how your policy defines a storm
  • Keep receipts for any emergency work

The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.

A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.

Bromley Green roofs and the weather

The wider area around Bromley Green has a long history of building, with Godinton House about 4.5 miles north. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. 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. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.

For site and facilities teams at buildings such as John Wallis Academy, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. For landlords with property near Ham Street station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
