Maiden's Green roofs and the weather
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed. The wider area around Maiden's Green has a long history of building, with St Leonard's Hill about 3 miles north-east. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
The streets around a church like Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. If you run a business near The Lexicon, a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running.

About our storm damage roof report in Maiden's Green
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. It sets out what is damaged, with photographs, and what we think the likely cause is. It is yours to pass to your insurer. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We aren’t loss adjusters and can’t say whether a claim will be paid. If you’ve noticed broken or displaced guttering and slipped or missing slates or tiles, we can find out what’s behind it, on flat roofs, ridges and hips and slate and tile slopes alike.
Roofs in small places like Maiden's Green often stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Practical tips
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
The report is emailed to you, and you decide what to send to your insurer. It is your record to use.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
Honest limits
We only report what can be seen safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
- Acting for you with the insurer
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking. The full list of what we check.

Maiden's Green: your questions answered
Is my home in Maiden's Green listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you cover Maiden's Green?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Maiden's Green is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. An independent report can add to your evidence, though we can’t predict the outcome.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. If it’s safe, take photos before it goes on. Our report then records the roof.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
There’s no single figure. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Your policy document will say.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the freeholder or managing agent. Let us know about it as you book and we will plan the survey around it.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.

How it works
We look at the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there is safe access, from inside the loft space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. All in, the survey usually takes an hour or two for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Older rural homes like those around Maiden's Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We look at the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
How to prepare
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
Booking a survey

Related advice
What we are asked to look at in Maiden's Green
Strong winds lift loose or poorly fixed slates and tiles, ridge pieces and flashings. Driving rain then gets in through the gaps. People usually call us after a storm, once they’ve noticed damage or a leak.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Water coming in after the storm
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Damaged gutters and fascias
If you own a rental within reach of Martins Heron station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
