In an older home around Davington, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.

Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Davington
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Photograph the damage from the ground or a window, and never climb up. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. If you’ve noticed loose or broken chimney pots and cowls and holes or cracks caused by debris, we can find out what’s behind it, on gutters and fascias, flashings and ridges and hips alike.
Older cottages and houses around Davington may have roofs with little or no underlay. Once the slates or tiles let water past, there is little to stop it reaching the ceiling. Finding where it gets in, and whether it’s old wear or new damage, decides what comes next. In the loft, damp battens or wet insulation are frequently the first clues.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Roof by roof
Ridge and hip tiles
Ridge and hip tiles take the full force of the wind. The survey notes loose, cracked or missing ridge and hip tiles.
Clay and concrete tiles
Strong gusts can lift and break tiles. We record which are damaged and where.
What we do, step by step
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit typically takes between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a smaller place like Davington, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from the ground, with the loft showing the underside.
- You let us know when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We view the roof from wherever it can be seen safely, including the loft where there’s access.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
Booking a survey
If you are buying, it’s useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email when you’re ready.

Questions from Davington
Is Davington within the area you cover?
Yes, Davington is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Davington?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Davington?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or email us. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
How are storm damage reports priced?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs are not part of the report.
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Davington
Storms don’t only affect pitched roofs. Coverings can tear or peel back at the edges, and water can pond where outlets are blocked. We record what we find on flat and pitched roofs alike.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- New damp or leaks inside
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Loose or torn flashings
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary Magdalene, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.
Questions to ask before you book
- Are they insured for the work?
- How long the report takes to arrive
- What experience they bring
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
Storm damage roof reports in Davington: local notes
Davington lies within about 3 miles of the sea. What counts as a storm is set by each policy, often gusts of around 55 mph, and the insurer makes the decision. Historic houses like Belmont House and Gardens, about 3.7 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Davington goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you own a rental within reach of Faversham station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. Homes near green spaces like Oare Meadow can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.

DIY checks: what’s safe
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
