Wind, rain and roofs in Chalksole Green
The coast is about 3 miles or less from Chalksole Green, so there is more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Driving rain off the sea can be pushed into gaps that stay dry in calmer weather, while salt slowly corrodes metal fixings and flashings. Historic houses such as Acrise Place, about 3.6 miles west, show how far back building in the area around Chalksole Green goes. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For landlords with property near Kearsney station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. Homes near green spaces such as Sladden Wood can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. If you live in an older home near Church of St Anthony the Martyr, leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Chalksole Green
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We are not loss adjusters, and we can’t tell you whether a claim will succeed. If you are worried about loose or torn flashings and torn or lifted flat roof coverings, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Chalksole Green, older roofs have often been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

What we do, step by step
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. If you have questions on the day, just ask. In a small place like Chalksole Green, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We check the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
How to prepare
- Keep pets in another room
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent

Advice
FAQs for Chalksole Green
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Chalksole Green, take more of a battering?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, while strong wind lifts anything already loose.
Is my home in Chalksole Green listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know the address and what you’d like to know. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
How many surveys have you done?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Do you use drones?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Start by complaining to the insurer. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that does not resolve it. The Ombudsman asks about storm conditions, whether the damage is consistent with a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.

Roof by roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Older tiles held only by nibs, without nails or clips, can lift more easily. We record what we can see of the fixings.
Slate roofs
Slates can slip or blow off in a storm, particularly where the nails have corroded. We record which slates have moved and any signs of older nail fatigue.
Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. You will have your own independent record to refer to.
Store invoices and reports for any roof work. They can help show the roof was looked after.
Why act early in Chalksole Green
If a roofer needs to make the roof safe, take photos first if you can do so safely from ground level. That keeps a record of how it looked. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
