Wind, rain and roofs in Clement Street
Historic houses such as Hall Place and Gardens, about 3.3 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Clement Street goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
Shop and office owners around Bluewater may find that water through a ceiling can damage stock and close a sales floor, so the source needs finding fast. If you own a rental within reach of Farningham Road station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away.

Storm damage roof report in Clement Street: what you get
High winds normally affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. If you’re worried about slates and tiles blown off the roof and loose or torn flashings, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Clement Street, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, particularly 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.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Tips that help
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
You will need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.

Common roof problems in Clement Street
Gusts work at anything on a roof that is loose or exposed. Rain can then blow in where slates or tiles have gone. Most people book a report soon after a storm, when they’ve seen damage or water has come in.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Loose or torn flashings
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Flat roof edges peeled back
The streets around a church such as Church of Saint Paul are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

Common questions in Clement Street
Do you carry out roof surveys in Clement Street?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Clement Street is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Clement Street?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Insurers typically exclude wear and tear. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. If it is safe, photograph the damage before it’s covered. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed.
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.
What happens on the day
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. For a village or hamlet like Clement Street, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s 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.
- The findings are written up with photographs for you to share with your insurer.
Before the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
