Storm damage roof report in Hoppers Corner
After a storm, safety comes first. Take photos from the ground or from windows, and do not climb onto the roof. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. If you’re worried about lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and stains appearing after strong winds, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on slate and tile slopes, flashings and ridges and hips alike.
For a small place like Hoppers Corner, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned in advance. 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.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs, emailed to you. On timing, most surveys take about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Older roofs in small places like Hoppers Corner can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us 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.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- 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

Leaks and storm damage in Hoppers Corner
Stoneacre, about 4.9 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Hoppers Corner. 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. Older houses across Kent frequently have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
If you let a flat or house near East Farleigh station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. If you run a business near Fremlin Walk, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters. Take an older house close to All Saints Church: leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Before temporary repairs, photograph the damage from the ground if it is safe. Those photos show the damage as it was. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.

Common questions in Hoppers Corner
Is my home in Hoppers Corner listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Do you cover Hoppers Corner?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Stay off the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, though we cannot predict the outcome.
How long is the visit?
It normally takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. We will confirm the timing as you book.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Checking the roof from the ground
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
What this survey cannot tell you
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- The outcome of a claim
- Negotiating a claim settlement
- A price for the repairs
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will suggest the right survey. The full list of what we check.
