How a storm damage roof report works in Little Conghurst
Our storm damage report starts from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It doesn’t price the repairs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. We survey slate and tile slopes, chimney stacks and ridges and hips, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are damaged ridges and hips and slates and tiles blown off the roof.
Many homes in small places like Little Conghurst face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

How it works
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the loft space if there is safe access. In total, it takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Older rural homes like those around Little Conghurst can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before the survey
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Common roof problems in Little Conghurst
Falling trees and branches can damage roofs in high winds. The report shows what was hit and the damage caused, with photos.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
Take an older house close to Church of All Saints: water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- What insurance they carry
- What happens after the report arrives
Tips that help
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Don’t go onto the roof to take pictures
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. You’ll have your own independent record to refer to.
Store invoices and reports for any roof work. They help show the roof was in good order before a storm.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.

Questions from Little Conghurst
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Little Conghurst?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you cover smaller places like Little Conghurst?
Yes, Little Conghurst is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. Take photos from ground level first if it is safe. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. We record the damage, with photographs and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when you book.
Do you look in the roof space?
Normally, if there is one and it can be reached safely. The roof space can show things the outside cannot, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.

Little Conghurst roofs and the weather
Great Dixter, about 3.9 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Little Conghurst. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
If you look after a building such as Hawkhurst Church of England Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. If you let a flat or house near Etchingham station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
