Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Frogham
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from the ground, from windows and higher points, from the roof space and from the roof where it is safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. If part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. Typical surveys look at flashings pulled away from walls or stacks and new damp or leaks inside, on flat roofs, flashings and slate and tile slopes.
In a village or hamlet like Frogham, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. We look at what can safely be seen and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photographs show what each point refers to.

What we do, step by step
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey normally takes about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Frogham frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- The findings are written up with photos for you to share with your insurer.
Before the survey
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Older and listed buildings around Frogham may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.

Other services in Frogham
Should I look at the roof myself first?
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Frogham
Is my home in Frogham listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you cover smaller places like Frogham?
Yes, Frogham is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
How long will you be at the property?
Time on site depends on the roof; most visits take roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. The written report follows by email.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. If it is safe, photograph the damage before it’s covered. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
What we look for on each type of roof
Lead flashings
Wind can peel back flashings at abutments and stacks. Loose or damaged flashings are photographed and noted.
Flat roof coverings
On flat roofs, storms can lift edges and tear membranes. Damage is photographed and described.
Leaks and storm damage in Frogham
Older houses across Kent frequently have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. Goodnestone Park, about 2.4 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Frogham. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. If you look after a building such as Nonington Church of England Primary School, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside. For landlords with property near Snowdown station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away.
