Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Deerton Street
Landlords and building managers often need a written record after a storm. The report can be shared with owners, tenants or insurers.
People usually book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Their track record with similar roofs
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Deerton Street
What counts as a storm depends on your policy, though many use gusts of about 55 mph. Check your own policy wording. We don’t decide whether a storm met that test. We record the damage and what seems to have caused it. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. The claim decision rests with your insurer. If you are worried about lead lifted at abutments and torn or lifted flat roof coverings, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Deerton 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 are thinking of an insurance claim. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Questions from Deerton Street
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Deerton Street?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Deerton Street, take more of a battering?
It can do. Deerton Street is within about 2 miles of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
That’s not something we can promise. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Deerton Street?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or email us. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Only from the ground or from windows. Don’t use a ladder or go onto the roof. Binoculars can help you see damage from below, and we’ll record the rest.
What a storm damage roof report doesn’t cover
This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
- How your policy defines a storm
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book. What a survey covers and does not.
What we check
- Slate and tile slopes
- Flashings
- Gutters and fascias
- Chimney stacks
- Ridges and hips
- Flat roofs
Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
The report is emailed to you, and you decide what to send to your insurer. It is your record to use.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. They can damage the roof in high winds.
The survey, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes an hour or two at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there. Rural addresses near Deerton Street can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- 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.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Let us know about parking near the property
Book a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from ground level or a window, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Storm damage roof reports in Deerton Street: local notes
Deerton Street lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies, and the insurer decides the claim. Belmont House and Gardens, about 4.1 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Deerton Street. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Take a building like Teynham Parochial Church of England Primary School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. If you own a rental within reach of Teynham station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

Can I check my roof myself?

After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
