East End questions
Do you carry out roof surveys in East End?
We do. The survey and report are the same in East End as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is East End within the area you cover?
Yes. East End is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
How long is the visit?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The written report follows by email.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
About our storm damage roof report in East End
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Falling branches can cause damage too. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. We survey chimney stacks, slate and tile slopes and ridges and hips, and people most often book us about roofs hit by falling trees and damaged pots on the stack.
Somewhere as small as East End, older roofs have often been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, particularly 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.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The shape of the roof and its details
- How big the roof is
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you need to know.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you get in touch, it’s useful to mention:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
Unsure which package suits your roof? The easiest way is to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll talk you through the options and what they cost.

What else we do in East End
Roof by roof
Chimney stacks
Flashings around stacks can lift in strong winds. Loose flashings are recorded.
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles without fixings can move more easily in wind. We note what we can see of how tiles are fixed.
Do you need a storm damage roof report in East End?
Roofs that were already worn are more likely to suffer in a storm. Corroded nails on slate roofs, worn mortar on ridges and old flashings can all give way. We record recent damage alongside older defects.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Stains appearing after strong winds
If you live in an older home near St Margaret's Church, leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- When you’ll get the report
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
How the survey works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely. The survey typically takes an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a hamlet or village like East End, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. 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.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before we arrive
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
Arrange a survey
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or email us to find out.

Storm damage roof reports in East End: local notes
Smallhythe Place, about 5 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around East End. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
East End is about 11 miles west of Ashford, in Kent. In East End, as across Kent, every roof gets the same careful survey. Our area takes in places right across Kent. For surveys nearby, see our Maidstone page.
Postcode districts we cover here for storm damage roof reports: TN17. That includes homes and businesses on Wood Lane, Mockbeggar Lane and Jackson Way. We also cover Fosten Green (1 mile north), Clapper Hill (1 mile north-east), Parkgate (1 mile east), West Cross (2 miles south) and Strood (2 miles south-east).

Landlords, agents and block managers in East End
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed ahead of time. Surveys run on any day of the week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
DIY checks: what’s safe
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
