How a storm damage roof report works in Egerton
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. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. We are often asked to look into roofs hit by falling trees and gutters pulled loose in the wind, on slate and tile slopes, flashings and ridges and hips.
Somewhere as small as Egerton, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. We check what can safely be seen and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Egerton?
Insurers frequently want evidence of what has been damaged and why. A written report with photos gives you something clear to pass on. The decision still rests with the insurer.
Look out for signs like these:
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- New damp or leaks inside
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
If you live in an older home near Church of St James, leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

Questions from Egerton
Is my home in Egerton listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Egerton?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Egerton is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. If you are still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. An independent report can add to your evidence, but we cannot say how it will turn out.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Stay off the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. It doesn’t include repair costs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for those.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What happens if roof problems are left?
It’s useful to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Further storms and quick fixes can make the picture less clear. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, including VAT.

Egerton roofs and the weather
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed.
If you let a flat or house near Pluckley station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. Anyone responsible for a site like Egerton Church of England 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.

Useful tips for Egerton property owners
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. If that does not resolve it, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. After that, we check everything we can see safely. The survey usually takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. For a village or hamlet like Egerton, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- You tell us when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We view the roof from wherever it can be seen safely, including the loft where there’s access.
- The damage is recorded with photos, area by area.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
How to prepare
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
