Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Ebbsfleet Valley
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We are not loss adjusters and can’t tell you if your claim will succeed. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. We survey slate and tile slopes, gutters and fascias and flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from fallen branches or debris and damaged ridges and hips.
In a smaller place like Ebbsfleet Valley, some roofs face open ground, where driving rain gets into any gap at a ridge, verge or flashing. If a leak shows only when the wind is in a certain direction, that is a useful clue. Let us know when it happens when you contact us. The gutters on the most exposed side can overflow too.
It is not only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. You will have your own independent record to refer to.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
What happens on the day
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. All told, expect between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Parking around Ebbsfleet Valley is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from the ground, and the loft shows the rest.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the roof space where it is safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Advice
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Ebbsfleet Valley
Ebbsfleet Valley is within about 4 miles of the coast, so storms can arrive with strong gusts off the water. What counts as a storm is set by each policy, frequently gusts of around 55 mph, and the insurer makes the decision. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
If you live near a park such as Castle Hill Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. If you look after a building like Cherry Orchard Primary Academy, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Ebbsfleet Valley
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Ebbsfleet Valley?
Places near the sea get more wind and more salt in the air than inland, and both are hard on roofs. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces.
Do you cover smaller places like Ebbsfleet Valley?
Yes. Ebbsfleet Valley is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. Repair costs aren’t included, so ask a roofer to quote.
Do you look in the loft space?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Please do not climb onto the roof. Take photos from ground level or from windows. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. If it is safe, photograph the damage before it’s covered. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
Different roofs, different checks
Lead flashings
Flashings with older defects often fail in high winds. Our report separates fresh damage from older wear where we can.
Flat roof coverings
Edge trims and laps are frequently where flat roof coverings start to peel back. The report notes signs of recent damage and older wear.
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Ebbsfleet Valley
Landlords and managing agents book reports to keep a record for owners and insurers. The report can be shared with owners, tenants or insurers.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Loose or torn flashings
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Water coming in after the storm
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
If you own a rental within reach of Ebbsfleet International station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
