Storm damage roof report in Eridge Green
Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies by policy. Your policy document sets out its own definition. Whether the weather met it is for your insurer. We record the damage and what seems to have caused it. The report includes photographs of each area of damage, and you decide what to send. The claim decision rests with your insurer. Common reasons to book are ridge tiles that have come loose and broken or displaced guttering, on gutters and fascias, flat roofs and slate and tile slopes.
Somewhere as small as Eridge Green, older roofs have often been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. We look at what can be seen safely and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Eridge Green roofs and the weather
Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. The wider area around Eridge Green has a long history of building, with Groombridge Place about 1.9 miles north-west. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you run a business near The Corn Exchange, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters. Landlords with a home close to Eridge station may find that a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. Living close to Eridge Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.

FAQs for Eridge Green
Is my home in Eridge Green listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you cover smaller places like Eridge Green?
Yes, Eridge Green is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
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 are not included, so ask a roofer to quote.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. If it’s safe, photograph the damage before it’s covered. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access; we’ll agree the details when you book.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when you book.
How the survey changes by roof type
Chimney stacks
Flashings around stacks can lift in strong winds. Loose flashings are recorded.
Flat roof coverings
Edge trims and laps are frequently where flat roof coverings start to peel back. We look at whether the damage is recent or older.
How it works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It typically takes an hour or two for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Older roofs in small places like Eridge Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the roof space where it is safe.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Find any records of previous roof work

Why act early in Eridge Green
If the damage is partly wear and tear, it is better to know. Our report gives an honest view of both, so you know what the roof shows. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.
