About our storm damage roof report in East Peckham
After a storm, safety comes first. Take photos from the ground or from windows, and don’t climb onto the roof. Emergency temporary protection, like covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. If you are worried about damaged ridges and hips and gutters pulled loose in the wind, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as East Peckham, older roofs have often been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. We check what can be seen safely 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.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photo. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in East Peckham
Branches and trees often come down on roofs during storms. We record the damage and where it is, backed up with photos.
We’re frequently asked to look at:
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Damaged ridges and hips
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Trinity, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

Storm damage roof reports around East Peckham
The wider area around East Peckham has a long history of building, with Old Soar Manor about 4.5 miles north-west. Older homes in the wider area frequently 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. Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
For landlords with property near Beltring station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. Anyone responsible for a site like East Peckham Primary School will know that water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

How it works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes about one to two hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. If you have questions on the day, just ask. For a village or hamlet like East Peckham, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there is access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared

Should I look at the roof myself first?
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
It is useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking, as it helps us focus the survey.
What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roof coverings
Branches and debris can damage flat roofs or block outlets. We record what we find.
Lead flashings
Old flashings that were already loose can give way in a storm. Our report separates fresh damage from older wear where we can.
What a storm damage roof report doesn’t cover
Our survey isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- Your insurer’s view of the claim
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book. What our survey covers.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in East Peckham
Do you cover East Peckham?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is East Peckham within the area you cover?
Yes, East Peckham is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Complain to your insurer first. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. An independent report can add to your evidence, but we can’t say how it will turn out.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
Each policy has its own definition. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but check your own wording.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We will talk about access when you book.
