How a storm damage roof report works in Kevington
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. So it matters whether the damage came from the storm or from a roof that was already worn. We note signs of each: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems such as corroded nails or worn mortar. We give an honest view of what we see. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. We survey flat roofs, gutters and fascias and flashings, and the problems we are asked to look at most are ridge tiles that have come loose and gutters pulled loose in the wind.
In converted houses and blocks across London, water from a roof can run a long way before it shows on a ceiling, sometimes in a different flat from the one below the defect. That makes the source hard to pin down, and finding it matters for whoever has to deal with it. We look at what we’re given access to in Kevington, inside and out. It helps to know when the water appears and in what weather.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Prices for storm damage roof reports in Kevington
When we price a survey, we consider:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Which survey package you book
- The size of the roof
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Kevington
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Kevington?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is Kevington in the area you cover?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Kevington is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We’re not loss adjusters, and we do not negotiate claims. We provide an independent record of the roof, which you can pass to your insurer.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Kevington?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
That is not something we can promise. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
The survey, step by step
Where it is 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. All in, the survey typically takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. London terraces rarely offer a view of the whole roof from one spot, so in Kevington we work round the house, using the street, the windows, the loft and any safe vantage point behind it. If other people live in the building, tell us who can let us into the shared parts.
- You tell us when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the roof space where it is safe.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- The findings are written up with photos for you to share with your insurer.
Before the survey
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Let us know about parking before the day

Storm damage roof reports around Kevington
Outer London has plenty of Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. Lullingstone Castle, about 3.2 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Kevington. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Anyone responsible for a site like Manor Oak Primary School will know that a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside. If you live in an older home near Unity Church, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

Why get it checked now?
The sooner the damage is recorded, the clearer the evidence. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. Many older London roofs have only old felt under the slates, or no underlay at all, so once the slates or flashings let water past, little stops it reaching ceilings. Left unchecked, water soaks into timber and plaster and the damage spreads.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we will tell you which fits.
