Storm damage roof report in Littlebourne: what you get
Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies by policy. Your policy document sets out its own definition. We do not decide whether a storm met that test. Our part is recording the damage to your roof and its likely cause. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. If you’ve noticed loose or broken chimney pots and cowls and ridge tiles that have come loose, we can find out what’s behind it.
Many homes in small places like Littlebourne 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.
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, whichever applies.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Littlebourne?
Falling trees and branches can damage roofs in high winds. We record the damage and where it is, backed up with photos.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Loose or torn flashings
Take an older house close to Church of St Vincent: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
What to check before booking
- Are they insured for the work?
- How soon the report will arrive
- Is VAT included in the price?
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
Why act early in Littlebourne
Many policies expect damage to be reported promptly. Let your insurer know early, and check what your policy asks for. An independent report can follow. In a small place like Littlebourne, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Before and after the survey
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. You’ll have your own independent record to refer to.
Keep records of roof work and surveys. They can help show the roof was looked after.
What we do, step by step
The visit has one job: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit typically takes an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Somewhere like Littlebourne needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We look at the roof from wherever it is safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Common questions in Littlebourne
Is Littlebourne within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Littlebourne?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Please do not climb onto the roof. Take photos from ground level or from windows. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Our reports start from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs are not part of the report.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
It depends on your policy. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Your policy document will say.

Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Landlords with a home close to Bekesbourne station may find that tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
