Landlord and commercial surveys in Godden Green

Storm damage roof report in Godden Green
Wear and tear is normally excluded from home insurance. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. We note signs of each: recent damage alongside any older defects, like nail fatigue on slates or eroded pointing. We give an honest view of what we see. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. Typical surveys look at holes or cracks caused by debris and flat roof edges peeled back, across chimney stacks, flat roofs and ridges and hips.
Roofs in small places like Godden 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.
After the visit, you get a report with photographs, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Godden Green: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Godden Green?
Yes, Godden Green is covered. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Do you cover Godden Green?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Godden Green is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. 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.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. Our report then records the roof.
Does someone need to be in?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We will talk about access when booking.
What happens on the day
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. All told, expect roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In a small place like Godden Green, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We check the roof from wherever it is 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.
How to prepare
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
How to book
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will ask a few questions about the roof. You will have a price before anything is arranged.

Prices for storm damage roof reports in Godden Green
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The shape of the roof and its details
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Booking your survey
You do not need to know any roofing terms. Just tell us:
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The property’s address and postcode
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
Leaks and storm damage in Godden Green
About 1 mile south-west lies Knole House, a reminder of how long the area around Godden Green has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs frequently 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. Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
If you let a flat or house near Bat & Ball station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. Anyone responsible for a site like Sevenoaks Preparatory School will know that tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

What we are asked to look at in Godden Green
Landlords and managing agents book reports to keep a record for owners and insurers. It helps when explaining damage to a building owner or insurer.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
If you live near a park like Knole Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Their report turnaround times
- Their track record with similar roofs
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

Branches and debris can damage flat roofs or block outlets. We record what we find.
Ridge and hip tiles
Ridge tiles bedded in old mortar can loosen in high winds. We note whether the mortar looks recently broken or long worn.

If the damage is partly wear and tear, it’s better to know. We record storm damage and older defects, so there are no surprises later. Around Godden Green, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
