Storm Damage Roof Report in Brookland

- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
How the survey works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Somewhere like Brookland needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Keep pets in another room
How to book
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Advice
Storm damage roof report in Brookland: what you get
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Photograph the damage from ground level or a window, and never climb up. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. Common reasons to book are damaged pots on the stack and broken or displaced guttering, on chimney stacks, gutters and fascias and flashings.
Many homes in small places like Brookland face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Tips from our surveys
You do not need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
The report is emailed to you, and you decide what to send to your insurer. It is your record to use.
Check the roof from the ground after strong winds. With binoculars, you can often spot problems without climbing. Do not go up a ladder to look.
Storm damage roof reports around Brookland
Brookland lies within about 5 miles of the sea, where storms can bring strong gusts off the sea. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies, and the insurer decides the claim. If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
For landlords with property near Appledore (Kent) station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St Augustine's Church, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

Brookland questions
Is the coastal weather around Brookland hard on roofs?
Generally, yes: wind and salt air take more of a toll near the sea. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it usually shows, and Brookland is within about 5 miles of the coast.
Do you cover smaller places like Brookland?
Yes, Brookland is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details as you book.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Raise it with your insurer first. If it isn’t resolved, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help. The Ombudsman asks about storm conditions, whether the damage is consistent with a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
What a survey costs
We confirm the price for your survey before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. We confirm the price for your roof before you book.
Helping us price your survey
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- The property’s address and postcode
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- What’s prompted the survey
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.

What happens if roof problems are left?
A clear, independent record helps you explain the damage to your insurer. It records the damage and what seems to have caused it, so you’re not relying only on your own photos. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.

When to book a survey in Brookland
Others book after an insurer has queried a claim. You get an independent record of what the roof shows. We can’t say whether the decision will change.
Common reasons to book include:
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Damaged pots on the stack
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Brookland Church of England Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- What follow-up you get after the report
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
