Why act early in Brook Street
Knowing whether older wear played a part helps you understand your position. We record storm damage and older defects, so you know what the roof shows. For an older or listed building in a place like Brook Street, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
Why book with us
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- Customer satisfaction of 98%
- Every finding written up with photos

Storm damage roof report in Brook Street: what you get
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. So it matters whether the damage came from the storm or from a roof that was already worn. Our report records both: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems such as corroded nails or worn mortar. We give an honest view of what we see. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. We survey ridges and hips, chimney stacks and gutters and fascias, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are damaged flat roof membrane and loose or torn flashings.
Somewhere as small as Brook Street, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

DIY checks: what’s safe
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Brook Street roofs and the weather
The wider area around Brook Street has a long history of building, with Smallhythe Place about 3.5 miles south-west. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. 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.
Landlords with a home close to Appledore (Kent) station may find that a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. Take a building like Woodchurch Church of England Primary School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Different roofs, different checks
Chimney stacks
Stacks with existing defects tend to suffer more in storms. We record both the storm damage and the older wear.
Ridge and hip tiles
The ridge and hips are among the most exposed parts of a roof. The survey notes loose, cracked or missing ridge and hip tiles.
How it works
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit typically takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Brook Street often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- You let us know when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We view the roof from wherever it can be seen safely, including the loft where there’s access.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming

Advice
Questions from Brook Street
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Brook Street?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you come out to Brook Street?
Yes, Brook Street is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Wear and tear is typically excluded from home insurance. We note both storm damage and older defects, so it is clear what we found. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
That is not something we can promise. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.

When to book a survey in Brook Street
Roofs that were already worn are more likely to suffer in a storm. Corroded nails on slate roofs, worn mortar on ridges and old flashings can all give way. Our report notes both the storm damage and any older wear.
We are often asked to look at:
- Water coming in after the storm
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of All Saints, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.
Questions to ask before booking
- Their report turnaround times
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
