Storm damage roof report in Brompton: what you get
We inspect the roof from wherever it can safely be seen: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there is access, and the roof itself where that’s safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. If part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. We are frequently asked to look into damaged gutters and fascias and flat roof edges peeled back, on flat roofs, gutters and fascias and ridges and hips.
Around Brompton, chimneys on older homes are a common source of leaks, at the flashings, the pointing or the mortar round the pots. Damp in a chimney breast can have more than one cause, so it isn’t always obvious where it starts. The stack, its flashings and the loft space beside it are all worth checking.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

What happens on the day
You don’t need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. A visit to Brompton is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Tell us about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.

What you can safely check yourself
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in.
How we price storm damage roof reports
Survey packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- The roof’s overall size
- The shape of the roof and its details
- House, block, shop or office
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. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
What to tell us when you contact us
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Brompton roofs and the weather
Brompton is within about 2 miles of the coast, so storms can arrive with strong gusts off the water. What counts as a storm is set by each policy, frequently gusts of around 55 mph, and the insurer makes the decision. 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. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
Take a building like Brompton-Westbrook Primary School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. Living close to Great Lines Heritage Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

When to book a survey in Brompton
Gusts work at anything on a roof that’s loose or exposed. Driving rain then gets in through the gaps. People normally call us after a storm, once they’ve noticed damage or a leak.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Water coming in after the storm
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
If you let a flat or house near Chatham station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

FAQs for Brompton
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Brompton?
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.
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Brompton, take more of a battering?
It can do. Within about 2 miles of the sea, as Brompton is, metal fixings wear faster and gales find any loose ridge or slate.
How long is the visit?
It typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. The report follows by email.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
