When to book a survey in Fawkham Green
Falling trees and branches can damage roofs in high winds. The report shows what was hit and the damage caused, backed up with photos.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
If you look after a building like New Ash Green Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- What happens after the report arrives
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Fawkham Green
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. So it matters whether the damage came from the storm or from a roof that was already worn. We note signs of each: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems such as corroded nails or worn mortar. We describe what we see, whichever way it points. Your insurer then decides how its policy applies. If you’ve noticed damage from fallen branches or debris and lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Roofs in small places like Fawkham Green frequently stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Leaks and storm damage in Fawkham Green
Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. With Lullingstone Castle about 3.6 miles west, Fawkham Green 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 a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For landlords with property near Longfield station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Parish Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Fawkham Green
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed beforehand. Surveys run on any day of the week, which can make access easier.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It usually takes about 1–2 hours for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Older rural homes like those around Fawkham Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We look at the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Before the survey
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Let us know about parking near the property
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming

Questions from Fawkham Green
How do I find out if my home in Fawkham Green is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you cover Fawkham Green?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Fawkham Green is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Stay off the roof. Take photos from the ground or from windows. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
Will you check the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
Only your insurer can decide that. We record the damage, with photos and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Knowing whether older wear played a part helps you understand your position. Our report gives an honest view of both, so there are no surprises later. Outbuildings and barns around Fawkham Green are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
