How a storm damage roof report works in Green Street Green

When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We are not loss adjusters and can’t tell you if your claim will succeed. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. If you’ve noticed gutters pulled loose in the wind and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.

Many homes in small places like Green Street Green face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.

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, like when you want to compare after future work.

Useful tips for Green Street Green property owners

A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:

  • Keep invoices for temporary repairs
  • Check your policy for how to report damage
  • Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
  • Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in

If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. If that doesn’t resolve it, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help.

Keep records of roof work and surveys. They can help show the roof was looked after.

What you can safely check yourself

A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.

Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.

What we look for on each type of roof

Slate roofs

Natural slate can last 100 years or more, but the nails often fail first. The report records whether slipped slates look like storm damage or older wear.

Lead flashings

Lifted flashings let rain run behind them into the roof. We note where this has happened and any damp inside.

When you need someone else

Before booking, it is worth knowing what a survey will not do:

  • Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
  • Negotiating a claim settlement
  • A decision on your insurance claim

Storm damage roof reports around Green Street Green

Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, ideally before any re-roofing is planned. Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.

For businesses in and around places such as Bluewater, a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running. For landlords with property near Longfield station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. If you look after a building like Greenlands Primary School, a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside.

How it works

Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit typically takes between one and two hours for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In a small place like Green Street Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.

  1. First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
  2. The roof is inspected from safe positions.
  3. We record and photograph the damage.
  4. The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
  5. You get a written report to pass to your insurer.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions on your street
  • Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
  • Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
