About our storm damage roof report in Eastry
After a storm, safety comes first. Take photos from the ground 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. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. If you’re worried about damaged ridges and hips and flat roof edges peeled back, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Houses in smaller places like Eastry can stand more in the open, so wind and driving rain find any weakness in ridges, verges and flashings. A leak that only appears in certain weather often points to an exposed detail. Tell us when it happens when you contact us. The gutters on the most exposed side can overflow too.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photo. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Questions from Eastry
Will you come out to Eastry?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Eastry?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, while strong wind lifts anything already loose.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
What if the roof was already worn?
Insurers typically exclude wear and tear. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Practical tips
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. With binoculars, you can often spot problems without climbing. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
When to book a survey in Eastry
Storms don’t only affect pitched roofs. Coverings can tear or peel back at the edges, and water can pond where outlets are blocked. We record what we find on flat and pitched roofs alike.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- New damp or leaks inside
For landlords with property near Sandwich station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
Questions to ask before booking
- Their insurance cover
- What experience they bring
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA

What a survey costs
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- House, block, shop or office
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
What to let us know when you get in touch
A little information up front helps. It is useful to include:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- When you need the report by
We survey roofs on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or email us.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Eastry
The coast is about 5 miles or less from Eastry, so there is more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, and driving rain finds any gap they leave. Older houses across Kent frequently 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 Goodnestone Park, about 3.4 miles west, show how far back building around Eastry goes. Older roofs in the area may have lead flashings, valleys and gutters that have been patched many times. Homes near green spaces such as Ham Fen can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Eastry is about 4 miles north-west of Deal, in Kent. Houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings in Eastry can all book storm damage roof reports. Across Kent, we cover Eastry and the places around it. Our Canterbury page covers surveys nearby.

How it works
You do not need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. The survey itself takes an hour or two for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a smaller place like Eastry, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets in another room
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Tell us about parking before the day
