Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Liverton Street
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We aren’t loss adjusters, and we can’t say whether a claim will be paid. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. If you’ve noticed roofs hit by falling trees and broken or displaced guttering, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Many homes in small places like Liverton Street face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
The Standard Survey adds 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 that help
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
If anything in the report isn’t clear, just ask us. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. They can damage the roof in high winds.
Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Liverton Street
How do I find out if my home in Liverton Street is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is Liverton Street in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
Each policy has its own definition. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but your policy sets the actual test.
How long will you be at the property?
Most surveys take between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. We’ll confirm the timing as you book.
Do you look in the roof space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Insurers usually exclude wear and tear. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof. We survey on any day of the week.
Storm damage roof reports around Liverton Street
Leeds Castle, about 3.1 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Liverton Street. 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. Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed.
Homes near green spaces such as Kiln Wood can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Nicholas, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

When to book a survey in Liverton Street
A storm often finds a roof’s existing weak spots. Nail fatigue, eroded ridge mortar and tired flashings can all fail in high winds. Our report notes both the storm damage and any older wear.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
Take a building like Platts Heath Primary School: a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside.
