Storm damage roof report in Hinxhill Park
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. It sets out what is damaged, with photos, and what we think the likely cause is. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We aren’t loss adjusters and can’t say whether a claim will be paid. Typical surveys look at flat roof edges peeled back and gaps where slates or tiles have gone, on flashings, flat roofs and ridges and hips.
For a small place like Hinxhill 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. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

What happens on the day
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. All told, expect between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Somewhere as small as Hinxhill Park, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
Arrange a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or email us when you are ready.

Hinxhill Park questions
Do you carry out roof surveys in Hinxhill Park?
Yes, Hinxhill Park is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property.
Do you cover smaller places like Hinxhill Park?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. If it’s safe, photograph the damage before it is covered. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to, and the report makes that clear.
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.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
How the survey changes by roof type
Ridge and hip tiles
The ridge and hips are among the most exposed parts of a roof. We record any that have lifted, cracked or come away.
Slate roofs
Broken slates and slates that have slid out of place are common after a storm. We photograph and describe each one.
Useful tips for Hinxhill Park property owners
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
If you are unhappy with how your insurer handles the claim, you can complain to them first. If that does not resolve it, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.
Leaks and storm damage in Hinxhill Park
Godinton House, about 3.9 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Hinxhill Park. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. 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. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
If you look after a building such as Willesborough Infant School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Mary, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Hinxhill Park
Roofs that were already worn are more likely to suffer in a storm. Nail fatigue, eroded ridge mortar and tired flashings can all fail in high winds. We record recent damage alongside older defects.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- New damp or leaks inside
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
Homes near green spaces like Conningbrook Lakes Country Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
