Kentsboro Storm Damage Roof Report
An independent record of roof damage after a storm in Kentsboro. More than 5,000 surveys completed across London and South East England.
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
Tips that help
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
Questions about the findings are always welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
Check the roof from ground level after strong winds. With binoculars, you can frequently spot problems without climbing. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
How a storm damage roof report works in Kentsboro
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. We note signs of each: recent damage alongside any older defects, like nail fatigue on slates or eroded pointing. We describe what we see, whichever way it points. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. If you are worried about loose or broken chimney pots and cowls and stains appearing after strong winds, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Being in a small place like Kentsboro makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. Tell us 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.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Kentsboro questions
How do I find out if my home in Kentsboro is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. 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 you cover smaller places like Kentsboro?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Let us know about it as you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Safely, from the ground or a window. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. With binoculars, you can see a lot from the ground, and we will record the rest.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Larger or more complex roofs are quoted for their size. It does not include repair costs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for those.
What if the roof was already worn?
Wear and tear is usually excluded from home insurance. We note both storm damage and older defects, so it is clear what we found. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.

Wind, rain and roofs in Kentsboro
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
If you own a rental within reach of Grateley station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. Whatever the street in Kentsboro, a roof costs least to look after when faults are caught early.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Kentsboro
The sooner the damage is recorded, the clearer the evidence. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. For an older or listed building in a place like Kentsboro, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.

What we do, step by step
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. In total, it takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Older roofs in small places like Kentsboro 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.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We look at the roof from wherever it is 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.
How to prepare
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
Book a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
How the survey changes by roof type
Lead flashings
When flashings lift, water can get behind them. The report records the flashing and any damp inside.
Clay and concrete tiles
A missing tile lets rain reach the underlay. Each gap is recorded with a photo.
