Branches and trees often come down on roofs during storms. We record the damage and where it is, with photos.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
If you look after a building such as Wingham Primary School, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.

Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Broomhill
What counts as a storm depends on your policy, though many use gusts of about 55 mph. Check your own policy wording. Whether the weather met it is for your insurer. We record the damage and what seems to have caused it. The report includes photographs of each area of damage, and you decide what to send. The claim decision rests with your insurer. We survey flashings, slate and tile slopes and gutters and fascias, and people most often book us about flat roof edges peeled back and lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles.
Roofs in small places like Broomhill frequently stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

How the survey works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Around Broomhill, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- 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.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Before the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
Book a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

FAQs for Broomhill
Do you cover Broomhill?
Yes, Broomhill is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Broomhill?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
Raise it with your insurer first. If it is not resolved, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help. The Ombudsman looks at whether there were storm conditions, whether the damage fits a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Wear and tear is not normally covered. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Our reports start from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs are not part of the report.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It depends on your policy. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Your policy document will say.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
That is not something we can promise. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
Tips from our surveys
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
You will need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. They can use our report to see what needs doing.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
Roof by roof
Flat roof coverings
Lifted trims and laps are common after a storm. The report notes signs of recent damage and older wear.
Lead flashings
Flashings can lift or pull away from walls and chimneys in strong winds. Loose or damaged flashings are photographed and noted.
Why get it checked now?
Knowing whether older wear played a part helps you understand your position. We record storm damage and older defects, so there are no surprises later. Older cottages and farmhouses around Broomhill can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.

Storm damage roof reports in Broomhill: local notes
About 2.5 miles south lies Goodnestone Park, a reminder of how long the area around Broomhill has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
If you let a flat or house near Adisham station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.
