Common questions in Lewson Street
How do I find out if my home in Lewson Street 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 roofs near the sea, like those around Lewson Street, take more of a battering?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, while strong wind lifts anything already loose.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Stay off the roof. Take photos from the ground or from windows. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
How long does the survey take?
Expect it to take about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We are not loss adjusters and don’t act for you with the insurer. We provide an independent record of the roof, which you can pass to your insurer.
How do I book a survey in Lewson Street?
It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we’ll suggest the right survey. We survey on any day of the week.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. If it is safe, photograph the damage before it is covered. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
How a storm damage roof report works in Lewson Street
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Falling branches can cause damage too. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. We survey gutters and fascias, ridges and hips and chimney stacks, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are damaged ridges and hips and lead lifted at abutments.
In a village or hamlet like Lewson Street, older cottages and farmhouses frequently have roofs that have been patched over many years. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. We check what can be seen safely and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Tips from our surveys
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
Questions about the findings are always welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
What affects the price in Lewson Street
All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- Which survey package you book
- How big the roof is
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.
Helping us price your survey
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. Just let us know:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
When you’re ready to go ahead, ring 07833 053749 or email us. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Lewson Street
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out by urgency where it matters.
What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roof coverings
Wind can lift the edges of flat roof coverings or tear them. We record any damage and where it is.
Ridge and hip tiles
Ridge tiles bedded in old mortar can loosen in high winds. Our report says whether it looks freshly damaged or worn over time.
Wind, rain and roofs in Lewson Street
Lewson Street is within about 3 miles of the coast, where storms can bring strong gusts off the sea. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording, and many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, though it varies. With Belmont House and Gardens about 3.3 miles south, Lewson Street sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Anyone responsible for a site like Teynham Parochial Church of England Primary School will know that water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Lewson Street?
Insurers frequently want evidence of what has been damaged and why. An independent report gives you a clear record to send. Your insurer still makes the decision.
People usually book a survey after spotting something like this:
- Loose or torn flashings
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Water coming in after the storm
If you own a rental within reach of Teynham station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
