Storm damage roof report in Eyhorne Street: what you get
We inspect the roof from wherever it can safely be seen: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there’s access, and the roof itself where that’s safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. If part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. You get a written report with photos to give to your insurer. We survey flat roofs, gutters and fascias and slate and tile slopes, and common reasons people get in touch are loose or torn flashings and flat roof edges peeled back.
Somewhere as small as Eyhorne Street, older roofs have often been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. We check everything that’s safely in view and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
It is not only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

How the survey changes by roof type
Chimney stacks
Stacks with existing defects tend to suffer more in storms. We record both the storm damage and the older wear.
Lead flashings
Flashings with older defects frequently fail in high winds. Our report separates fresh damage from older wear where we can.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book and it will help the survey.
Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Eyhorne Street
Do you cover smaller places like Eyhorne Street?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Eyhorne Street?
Yes, Eyhorne Street is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Eyhorne Street as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
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.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
Only your insurer can decide that. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
It varies by policy. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but your policy sets the actual test.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.

Our survey isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Eyhorne Street
With Leeds Castle about 0.9 miles south, Eyhorne Street sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
If you own a rental within reach of Hollingbourne station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. Take an older house close to All Saints Church: the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hollingbourne Primary School, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.

Tips from our surveys
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
For repair costs, ask a roofer to quote. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
Store invoices and reports for any roof work. They can help show the roof was looked after.
Why get it checked now?
A few slipped slates can soon lead to wet timbers. Getting it recorded and repaired sooner is typically better. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Eyhorne Street, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

The survey, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. The visit typically takes between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a hamlet or village like Eyhorne Street, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
How to prepare
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
