Why act early in Hextable
The sooner the damage is recorded, the clearer the evidence. Further storms and quick fixes can make the picture less clear. In an older home around Hextable, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than the original defect.

Storm damage roof report in Hextable: what you get
We inspect the roof from wherever it can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows and higher points, from the loft space and from the roof where it is safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. If part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. We survey flashings, flat roofs and chimney stacks, and common reasons people get in touch are new damp or leaks inside and torn or lifted flat roof coverings.
In older homes around places like Hextable, the underlay may be old bitumen felt, or there may be none at all. Once the slates or tiles let water past, there’s little to stop it reaching the ceiling. Finding where it gets in, and whether it’s old wear or new damage, decides what comes next. Wet battens and insulation in the loft are frequently the first clue.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

What we’re asked to look at in Hextable
When you claim, your insurer may ask for evidence of the damage and its cause. An independent report gives you a clear record to send. Your insurer still makes the decision.
Problems we come across often include:
- New damp or leaks inside
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
Anyone responsible for a site like Hextable Primary School will know that water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

Storm damage roof reports in Hextable: local notes
About 2.7 miles north lies Hall Place and Gardens, a reminder of how long the area around Hextable has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. 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.
If you live in an older home near St Peter, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. If you let a flat or house near Swanley station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away.

Questions from Hextable
Is Hextable in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Hextable as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will you come out to Hextable?
Yes, Hextable is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
How long will you be at the property?
It normally takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. We’ll confirm the timing as you book.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
What a storm damage roof report doesn’t cover
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- How your policy defines a storm
- Acting for you with the insurer
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer. The full list of what we check.

- Ridges and hips
- Slate and tile slopes
- Flat roofs
- Flashings
- Gutters and fascias
- Chimney stacks
What we do, step by step
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. A visit to a smaller place like Hextable is no different on the day: we look from the ground, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it is safe. It helps to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We view the roof from wherever it can safely be seen, including the loft where there’s access.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
