Storm damage roof report in Eythorne
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. It’s yours to pass to your insurer. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We are not loss adjusters, and we can’t tell you whether a claim will succeed. If you’ve noticed flashings pulled away from walls or stacks and flat roof edges peeled back, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Somewhere as small as Eythorne, older roofs have often been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

Eythorne questions
Is my home in Eythorne listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you cover smaller places like Eythorne?
Yes. Eythorne is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Prices start 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.
How long is the visit?
It usually takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. The report follows by email.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Start by complaining to the insurer. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that doesn’t resolve it. The Ombudsman asks about storm conditions, whether the damage is consistent with a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
Each policy has its own definition. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but your policy sets the actual test.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.

Leaks and storm damage in Eythorne
With Goodnestone Park about 3.6 miles north-west, Eythorne 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 any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Eythorne Elvington Community Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. If you own a rental within reach of Shepherds Well station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. Take an older house close to Church of St Peter and St Paul: lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

How the survey works
We look at the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is safe access, from inside the roof space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey typically takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. For a village or hamlet like Eythorne, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before the survey
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
