Fenn Street Storm Damage Roof Report
We carry out storm damage roof reports in Fenn Street and the rest of Medway. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
Can I check my roof myself?
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.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
About our storm damage roof report in Fenn Street
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 cannot say whether a claim will be paid. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. We’re frequently asked to look into water coming in after the storm and broken or displaced guttering, across slate and tile slopes, flat roofs and ridges and hips.
Being in a small place like Fenn Street makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Fenn Street
We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photographs, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Storm damage roof reports in Fenn Street: local notes
Fenn Street lies within about 2 miles of the sea, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Driving rain off the sea can be pushed into gaps that stay dry in calmer weather, while salt slowly corrodes metal fixings and flashings. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so check with the council.
The streets around a church like Church of St Mary are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. If you let a flat or house near Gillingham (Kent) station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. If you look after a building such as High Halstow Primary Academy, a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside.
Fenn Street is about 5 miles north of Gillingham, in Medway. In Fenn Street, as across Medway, every roof gets the same careful survey. Fenn Street is one of the places in Medway where we work for storm damage roof reports. We also survey roofs in Maidstone.

How the survey works
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey usually takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Somewhere like Fenn Street needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.

Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can

What else we do in Fenn Street
Fenn Street questions
Is the coastal weather around Fenn Street hard on roofs?
Places near the sea get more wind and more salt in the air than inland, and both are hard on roofs. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Fenn Street?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Do you look in the roof space?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
How do I book a survey in Fenn Street?
It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof. Surveys run seven days a week.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
