Storm damage roof report in Farleigh Green: what you get
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. Our report shows the damage in photos and says whether it looks like storm damage, wear and tear, or a mix. We aren’t loss adjusters, and we can’t say whether a claim will be paid. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. If you’ve noticed damage from fallen branches or debris and damaged flat roof membrane, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flashings, ridges and hips and gutters and fascias alike.
Being in a small place like Farleigh Green makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

What happens on the day
We will ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes an hour or two at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. Around Farleigh Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking near the property

Related advice
Can I check my roof myself?
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
What this survey can’t tell you
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Negotiating a claim settlement
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will recommend the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and does not.
What we check
- Chimney stacks
- Flashings
- Flat roofs
- Slate and tile slopes
- Ridges and hips
- Gutters and fascias
Practical tips
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
For repair costs, ask a roofer to quote. They can use our report to see what needs doing.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.

Leaks and storm damage in Farleigh Green
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. You will 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. The wider area around Farleigh Green has a long history of building, with Stoneacre about 4.9 miles east. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Trees in and around Quarry Wood shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters. For landlords with property near East Farleigh station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. If you live in an older home near All Saints Church, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Farleigh Green
Will you come out to Farleigh Green?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.

Yes, Farleigh Green is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
Start by complaining to the insurer. If it isn’t resolved, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help. The Ombudsman looks at whether there were storm conditions, whether the damage fits a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. We will talk about access as you book.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
Each policy has its own definition. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but check your own wording.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the survey around it.
