Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Goodley Stock
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. We note any part we couldn’t see. You get a written report with photos to give to your insurer. We survey gutters and fascias, chimney stacks and slate and tile slopes, and common reasons people get in touch are cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind and damaged flat roof membrane.
Roofs in small places like Goodley Stock often stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Goodley Stock roofs and the weather
Historic houses such as Chartwell, about 1 mile east, show how far back building in the area around Goodley Stock goes. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. 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. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
If you let a flat or house near Hurst Green station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Goodley Stock
Do you cover Goodley Stock?

Are you loss adjusters?
No. We aren’t loss adjusters and don’t act for you with the insurer. We give you an independent report of the damage for you to send to your insurer.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Start by complaining to the insurer. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that doesn’t resolve it. The Ombudsman asks about storm conditions, whether the damage is consistent with a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Do you look in the loft space?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
How experienced are you?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
How it works
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely. Most surveys take an hour or two for a house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. In a small place like Goodley Stock, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You tell us when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
Book a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you are ready.

What affects the price in Goodley Stock
Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:

There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Goodley Stock
Storms don’t 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:
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Roofs hit by falling trees
For an older house near a landmark such as Holy Trinity Church, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
