Common questions in Broomfield
How do I find out if my home in Broomfield is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. 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.
Is the coastal weather around Broomfield hard on roofs?
It can do. Broomfield is within about 2 miles of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Safely, from the ground or a window. Don’t use a ladder or go onto the roof. With binoculars, you can see a lot from ground level, and we’ll record the rest.
Do you cover Broomfield for storm damage roof reports?
Yes. We survey roofs in Broomfield and the rest of Kent. To book, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. The report doesn’t include repair costs.
How long is the visit?
Most surveys take about 1–2 hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. The report follows by email.
About our storm damage roof report in Broomfield
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We aren’t loss adjusters, and we cannot say whether a claim will be paid. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. We survey chimney stacks, flat roofs and ridges and hips, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged flat roof membrane and damaged gutters and fascias.
Somewhere as small as Broomfield, 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. We look at everything that’s safely in view and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Useful tips for Broomfield property owners
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
Once we’ve been, the findings are written up with photos. It covers the damage, its likely cause and any older defects. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Broomfield?
Strong winds lift loose or poorly fixed slates and tiles, ridge pieces and flashings. Driving rain then gets in through the gaps. Most people book a report soon after a storm, when they’ve seen damage or water has come in.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Loose or torn flashings
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
If you live in an older home near Church of St Bartholomew, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.
What to check before booking
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- When you’ll get the report

Broomfield roofs and the weather
The coast is about 2 miles or less from Broomfield, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, and driving rain finds any gap they leave, while salt slowly corrodes metal fixings and flashings. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
If you live near a park like Curtis Wood, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. Anyone responsible for a site like Herne Church of England Infant School will know that water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

Checking the roof from ground level
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: 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.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
What happens on the day
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. The survey usually takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Rural addresses near Broomfield can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You tell us when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there is access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
Getting a price
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you are ready.
