Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Felderland
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. We survey gutters and fascias, ridges and hips and chimney stacks, and people most often book us about lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind.
Many homes in small places like Felderland face open ground, 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 report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Tips from our surveys
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed

Questions about the findings are always welcome. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.

Checking the roof from the ground
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book and it will help the survey.
How the survey changes by roof type
Slate roofs
After strong winds, we often see cracked and slipped slates. Each area is photographed and described.
Chimney stacks
Stacks with existing defects tend to suffer more in storms. Our report notes recent damage and older defects.
Storm damage roof reports in Felderland: local notes
Felderland lies within about 4 miles of the sea, so there is more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. In a coastal gale, rain is driven sideways into laps, verges and flashings, while salt slowly corrodes metal fixings and flashings. The wider area around Felderland has a long history of building, with Goodnestone Park about 4.7 miles west. 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.
For landlords with property near Sandwich station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. Take a building like Sandwich Technology School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. Take an older house close to Church of St Peter and St Paul: water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

Felderland: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Felderland?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is the coastal weather around Felderland hard on roofs?
It can do. Felderland is within about 4 miles of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Insurers typically exclude wear and tear. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. Your insurer decides the claim.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Complain to your insurer first. If you’re still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, but we cannot say how it will turn out.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. If it is safe, photograph the damage before it’s covered. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
The survey, step by step
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a report with photos. As for time on site, it normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. For a village or hamlet like Felderland, 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’s safe.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- 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 we arrive
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

What happens if roof problems are left?
Once the storm has passed, damage that looked minor can let water in for months. Acting quickly normally means less damage overall. In a small place like Felderland, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
