Storm damage roof report in Grove Green
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there’s access, and the roof itself where that’s safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. We note any part we couldn’t see. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. Common reasons to book are flat roof edges peeled back and damage from fallen branches or debris, on chimney stacks, slate and tile slopes and gutters and fascias.
In a smaller place like Grove Green, some roofs face open ground, so wind and driving rain find any weakness in ridges, verges and flashings. A leak that only appears in certain weather frequently points to an exposed detail. Let us know when it happens when you get in touch. Gutters and downpipes on the exposed side are worth a look as well.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

The survey, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Grove Green is booked with the forecast in mind: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Getting ready for the survey
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Tell us about parking before the day

Advice
Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
If anything in the report isn’t clear, just ask us. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Damage left open lets in more rain. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. Arranging work in a smaller place like Grove Green is easier with notice than in an emergency. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

What we look for on each type of roof
Ridge and hip tiles
Ridge tiles bedded in old mortar can loosen in high winds. Our report says whether it looks freshly damaged or worn over time.
Slate roofs
Slates can slip or blow off in a storm, particularly where the nails have corroded. We record which slates have moved and any signs of older nail fatigue.
Storm damage roof reports in Grove Green: local notes
Historic houses such as Stoneacre, about 2.5 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Grove Green goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. 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. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
For landlords with property near Bearsted station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. The streets around a church such as Church of St Luke are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. Shop and office owners around The Mall Maidstone may find that finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down.
