About our storm damage roof report in Coursehorn
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from ground level, from windows and higher points, from the roof space and from the roof where it is safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. We note any part we couldn’t see. You get a photo-illustrated written report to give to your insurer. We survey ridges and hips, flashings and chimney stacks, and common reasons people get in touch are cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind and damage from fallen branches or debris.
Many homes in small places like Coursehorn face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Coursehorn
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
Roof by roof
Lead flashings
Old flashings that were already loose can give way in a storm. Our report separates fresh damage from older wear where we can.
Slate roofs
Slates can slip or blow off in a storm, particularly where the nails have corroded. Our report notes moved slates and any sign of older corrosion.
Before and after the survey
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
After the visit, we write up the report with photos of each area of damage. It sets out what is damaged, the likely cause and any signs of older wear. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.
FAQs for Coursehorn
Do you cover Coursehorn?
Yes, Coursehorn is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Is my home in Coursehorn 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.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Coursehorn?
It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we will suggest the right survey. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only if it’s safe. We look at everything that can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. We record the damage, with photographs and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What if the roof was already worn?
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. We note both storm damage and older defects, so it is clear what we found. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.

What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- The size of the roof
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Building height and the viewpoints available
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT.
Helping us price your survey
What helps most when you contact us:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email, and we will ask about the building and what you need. You will have a price before anything is arranged.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Damage left open lets in more rain. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. Emergency temporary protection should be arranged with a roofer. For an older or listed building in a place like Coursehorn, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.

How the survey works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Notes and photos go into the written report. It usually takes between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Somewhere as small as Coursehorn, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
How to prepare
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at

Leaks and storm damage in Coursehorn
If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. 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. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed.
If you live near a park like Crane Valley, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. If you live in an older home near Church of St Dunstan, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. Take a building like Cranbrook School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.
