Tips from our surveys
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
For repair costs, ask a roofer to quote. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Dunk's Green
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Take photos from ground level or from windows, and don’t climb onto the roof. 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. We survey chimney stacks, flat roofs and gutters and fascias, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged ridges and hips and slipped or missing slates or tiles.
In a village or hamlet like Dunk's Green, older cottages and farmhouses frequently have roofs that have been patched over many years. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. We check 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.
Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Can I check my roof myself?
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
What happens on the day
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there. In a hamlet or village like Dunk's Green, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the loft space where it’s safe.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

Advice
Wind, rain and roofs in Dunk's Green
Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. Historic houses such as Old Soar Manor, about 0.9 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Dunk's Green goes. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Homes near green spaces like Ivy Hatch Nature Reserve can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. Take a building like Plaxtol Primary School: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

Dunk's Green questions
Is Dunk's Green within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Is Dunk's Green in the area you cover?

Do you use drones?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Dunk's Green?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and some details about the roof. Surveys run on any day of the week.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
It depends on your policy. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Check your policy wording.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. If it’s safe, take photos before it goes on. We can record the damage in our report.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.

- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
