How a storm damage roof report works in East Stourmouth
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It isn’t a repair quote and does not include repair costs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for that. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. We are often asked to look into cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind and damaged gutters and fascias, across gutters and fascias, chimney stacks and slate and tile slopes.
Roofs in small places like East Stourmouth often stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

East Stourmouth roofs and the weather
The coast is about 5 miles or less from East Stourmouth, so storms can arrive with strong gusts off the water. What counts as a storm is set by each policy, often gusts of around 55 mph, and the insurer makes the decision. Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
If you own a rental within reach of Minster station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. The streets around a church such as All Saints Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. Historic houses such as Quex Park, about 4.7 miles north-east, show how far back building around East Stourmouth goes. Older roofs in the area may have lead flashings, valleys and gutters that have been patched many times.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in East Stourmouth
Do roofs near the sea, like those around East Stourmouth, take more of a battering?
Generally, yes: wind and salt air take more of a toll near the sea. Exposed details such as ridges, verges, flashings and metal fixings are the ones to watch, and East Stourmouth is within about 5 miles of the coast.
Will you come out to East Stourmouth?
Yes. East Stourmouth is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What do I do if water is coming in?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. If it’s safe, take photos before it goes on. Our report then records the roof.
What if the roof was already worn?
Wear and tear is not usually covered. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. Your insurer decides the claim.
How long does the survey take?
Time on site depends on the roof; most visits take about one to two hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. The written report follows by email.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
What you can safely check yourself
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.

How it works

Related advice
For landlords and managing agents
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when booking and we will plan the survey around it.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- Which survey package you book
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we’ll tell you which fits.
Helping us price your survey
We will usually ask about:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
We survey roofs on any day of the week. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
