Storm damage roof reports around Hearnden Green
Leeds Castle, about 4.1 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Hearnden Green. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. 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. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
For landlords with property near Headcorn station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

Storm damage roof report in Hearnden Green: what you get
Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies by policy. Check your own policy wording. Whether the weather met it is for your insurer. We record the damage and what seems to have caused it. The report includes photos of each area of damage, and you decide what to send. The claim decision rests with your insurer. If you’ve noticed loose or torn flashings and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Being in a small place like Hearnden Green makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later, like when you want to compare after future work.

Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
Questions about the findings are always welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.
Can I check my roof myself?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
When we price a survey, we consider:
- How big the roof is
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
Getting in touch
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, tell us:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or email us. You will have a price before anything is arranged.
Why act early in Hearnden Green
It helps to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Further storms and quick fixes can make the picture less clear. Older and listed buildings around Hearnden Green may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.

How the survey works
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It usually takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Around Hearnden Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We check the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Keep pets in another room
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Hearnden Green questions
Will you come out to Hearnden Green?
Yes, Hearnden Green is covered. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
How do I find out if my home in Hearnden Green is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we’ll agree the details when booking.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it’s safe. We check everything that can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Do you look in the roof space?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Insurers usually 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.
