Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Golden Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Golden Green?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Is Golden Green in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the survey around it.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
How long will you be at the property?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof; most visits take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. The written report follows by email.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Wear and tear is usually excluded from home insurance. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so it’s clear what we found. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Golden Green
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Take photos from ground level or from windows, and do not climb onto the roof. Emergency temporary protection, like covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. We are frequently asked to look into loose or torn flashings and slipped or missing slates or tiles, on ridges and hips, slate and tile slopes and flat roofs.
For a small place like Golden Green, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. 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 photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

What a survey costs
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- How big the roof is
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we can help you choose.
What we need to know
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- What’s prompted the survey
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Where the property is, with the postcode

How the survey works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Around Golden Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go 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.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Find any records of previous roof work

When to book a survey in Golden Green
Storms do not only affect pitched roofs. Wind can lift edges and tear coverings, and blocked outlets can leave water ponding after heavy rain. Our report covers flat and pitched roofs.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Water coming in after the storm
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
For landlords with property near Beltring station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
What you can safely check yourself
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Storm damage roof reports around Golden Green
Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. Historic houses like Old Soar Manor, about 3.8 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Golden Green goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you live in an older home near Golden Green Mission Church, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hadlow Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
