Crockhurst Street roofs and the weather
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. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. 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.
For landlords with property near Tonbridge station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. Take an older house close to Church of All Saints: leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

How a storm damage roof report works in Crockhurst Street
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Take photos from the ground or from windows, and do not climb onto the roof. Emergency temporary protection, such as covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. We survey ridges and hips, chimney stacks and gutters and fascias, and people most frequently book us about water coming in after the storm and damaged gutters and fascias.
Somewhere as small as Crockhurst Street, older roofs have often been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. We check everything that’s safely in view and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
We write the report in plain English, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible.

Tips that help
You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Don’t go onto the roof to take pictures
The report is emailed to you, and you decide what to send to your insurer. It is your record to use.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. With binoculars, you can often spot problems without climbing. Do not go up a ladder to look.
The survey, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes an hour or two at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. Older roofs in small places like Crockhurst Street can have low, tight loft spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
Booking a survey
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form, and we will ask about the building and what you need. You will have a price before anything is arranged.
Advice
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.
Landlords, agents and building managers in Crockhurst Street and across Kent can book any of our surveys. For a price for a let property or a block, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What you can safely check yourself
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
Common questions in Crockhurst Street
Is Crockhurst Street in the area you cover?
Yes, Crockhurst Street is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the property.
How do I find out if my home in Crockhurst Street is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
Only your insurer can decide that. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access; we’ll agree the details when you book.
How long will you be at the property?
Time on site depends on the roof; most visits take between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. The written report follows by email.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. If you are still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, but we can’t say how it will turn out.
What we are asked to look at in Crockhurst Street
Insurers frequently want evidence of what has been damaged and why. A written report with photos gives you something clear to pass on. The decision still rests with the insurer.
Problems we come across often include:
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Water coming in after the storm
Anyone responsible for a site like Capel Primary School will know that a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.
