How a storm damage roof report works in Hildenborough
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 aren’t loss adjusters, and we can’t say whether a claim will be paid. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. If you’ve noticed new damp or leaks inside and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on ridges and hips, gutters and fascias and slate and tile slopes alike.
For a small place like Hildenborough, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Storm damage roof reports around Hildenborough
Historic houses like Ightham Mote, about 3 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Hildenborough goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
Anyone responsible for a site like Hildenborough Church of England Primary School will know that tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. Homes near green spaces such as Haysden Country Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn.
Hildenborough is about 2 miles north-west of Tonbridge, in Kent.

How the survey changes by roof type
Lead flashings
Wind can peel back flashings at abutments and stacks. Loose or damaged flashings are photographed and noted.
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles can lift, crack or blow off in high winds. The report shows each damaged area.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Why get it checked now?
A few slipped slates can soon lead to wet timbers. Acting quickly usually means less damage overall. In a small place like Hildenborough, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

How the survey works
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Somewhere like Hildenborough needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photographs.

- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
