About our storm damage roof report in Graveney
Wear and tear is typically excluded from home insurance. So it matters whether the damage came from the storm or from a roof that was already worn. Our report records both: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems such as corroded nails or worn mortar. We describe what we see, whichever way it points. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. We survey ridges and hips, flashings and flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are flashings pulled away from walls or stacks and broken or displaced guttering.
Somewhere as small as Graveney, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you are 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.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

The survey, step by step

- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before the survey

Storm damage roof reports around Graveney
Graveney lies within about 2 miles of the sea, where storms can bring strong gusts off the sea. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording, and many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, though it varies. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
Homes near green spaces such as South Swale can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn. If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Graveney
Is Graveney within the area you cover?
Yes, Graveney is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Graveney?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. An independent report can add to your evidence, but we can’t say how it will turn out.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
That is not something we can promise. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
