Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Take photos from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Photograph damage inside the house too
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. If that does not resolve it, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help.
Check the roof from the ground after strong winds. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
Storm damage roof report in Further Quarter
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from ground level, from windows and higher points, from the loft space and from the roof where it’s safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. We note any part we couldn’t see. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. If you are worried about loose or torn flashings and roofs hit by falling trees, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Being in a small place like Further Quarter makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. 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 photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Storm damage roof reports in Further Quarter: local notes
Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
Whatever the street in Further Quarter, a roof costs least to look after when faults are caught early. If you own a rental within reach of Pluckley station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

What you can safely check yourself
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.

Is my home in Further Quarter listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.

We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. Take photos from the ground first if it is safe. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
How long is the visit?
Expect it to take about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. You will then get the report by email, on the timescale of your package.
