How a storm damage roof report works in Dunton Green
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It is not a repair quote and doesn’t include repair costs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. Common reasons to book are slipped or missing slates or tiles and lead lifted at abutments, on ridges and hips, gutters and fascias and flashings.
Being in a small place like Dunton Green makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
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.

What happens on the day
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect what can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Older roofs in small places like Dunton Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We view the roof from wherever it can be seen safely, including the loft where there is access.
- The damage is recorded with photos, area by area.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
How to prepare
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Wind, rain and roofs in Dunton Green
Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. About 2.5 miles south-east lies Knole House, a reminder of how long the area around Dunton Green has been built on. 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 a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you live near a park such as Montreal Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys.
