Storm damage roof report in Broom Street: what you get
We inspect the roof from wherever it can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows and higher points, from the roof space and from the roof where it’s safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. If part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. You get a written report with photos to give to your insurer. Typical surveys look at damaged ridges and hips and damage from fallen branches or debris, on ridges and hips, flashings and flat roofs.
For a small place like Broom Street, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Leaving storm damage can let water into the loft space and rooms below. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Every price we give includes VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for your survey before booking.

What a storm damage roof report doesn’t cover
Before you book, it is worth knowing what a survey won’t do:
- Acting for you with the insurer
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you. What our survey covers.
What this survey covers
- Gutters and fascias
- Slate and tile slopes
- Flashings
- Ridges and hips
- Chimney stacks
- Flat roofs
What you can safely check yourself
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Before and after the survey
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- Don’t go onto the roof to take pictures
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. If that does not resolve it, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. They can damage the roof in high winds.
Broom Street questions
Is my home in Broom Street listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Will you come out to Broom Street?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
Start by complaining to the insurer. 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.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys on any day of the week. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
How long does the survey take?
It typically takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. You will then get the report by email.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. Take photos from the ground first if it is safe. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
Storm damage roof reports around Broom Street
Broom Street 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. Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. 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.
Homes near green spaces like South Swale can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of All Saints, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. If you let a flat or house near Faversham station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

- What kind of property and roof it is

How it works
We look at the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there is safe access, from inside the roof space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit normally takes between one and two hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Rural addresses near Broom Street 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.
- You let us know when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
