How a storm damage roof report works in Hammill Park
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Photograph the damage from the ground or a window, and never climb up. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. If you’ve noticed new damp or leaks inside and flashings pulled away from walls or stacks, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
For a small place like Hammill Park, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

Common questions in Hammill Park
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hammill Park?
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.
Will you come out to Hammill Park?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Insurers normally exclude wear and tear. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details when booking.
How long will you be at the property?
Expect it to take about 1–2 hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Hammill Park
Across Kent, older roofs are frequently handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. You will also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. Goodnestone Park, about 2.6 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Hammill Park. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you let a flat or house near Sandwich station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Mary the Virgin, leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.
Hammill Park is about 5 miles north-west of Deal, in Kent. In Hammill Park, as across Kent, every roof gets the same careful survey. Across Kent, we cover Hammill Park. For surveys nearby, see our Canterbury page.

- Your insurer’s view of the claim
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll suggest the right survey before you book. The full list of what we check.

For landlords and managing agents
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer.
What we do, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. If you have questions on the day, just ask. For a village or hamlet like Hammill Park, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

Common roof problems in Hammill Park
Landlords and building managers often need a written record after a storm. The report can be shared with owners, tenants or insurers.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Flat roof edges peeled back
Take a building like Eastry Church of England Primary School: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
What to check before booking
- What insurance they carry
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- What experience they bring
- What they won’t be able to tell you
Before and after the survey
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
Check the roof from ground level after strong winds. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Never climb onto the roof yourself.

Flat roof coverings
Debris blown onto a flat roof can puncture the covering or block outlets. Any damage is recorded with photos.
Clay and concrete tiles
Broken or missing tiles leave the underlay exposed to rain. Each gap is recorded with a photo.
