Storm damage roof report in Marden Beech: what you get
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. If you’re worried about flat roof edges peeled back and damaged gutters and fascias, we can find out what’s behind it.
Being in a small place like Marden Beech makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

What else we do in Marden Beech
Marden Beech roofs and the weather
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. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so check with the council.
Take a building like Marden Primary School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. For landlords with property near Marden station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away.

Tips that help
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
After the visit, we write up the report with photographs of each area of damage. It covers the damage, its likely cause and any older defects. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.
Can I check my roof myself?
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.
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
What we’re asked to look at in Marden Beech
Some people book because a claim has been questioned. An independent report gives you another view of the roof. What happens next is up to the insurer.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near St Michael and All Angels Church, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Their insurance cover
- Their track record with similar roofs
Questions from Marden Beech
Do you cover Marden Beech?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Marden Beech as anywhere else.
Is my home in Marden Beech listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
What if the roof was already worn?
Wear and tear is not typically covered. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. Your insurer decides the claim.
What do I do if water is coming in?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. Our report then records the roof.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or email us and tell us the address and what you’d like to know. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
How long will you be at the property?
Expect it to take about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
Why act early in Marden Beech
It’s useful to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Further storms and quick fixes can make the picture less clear. For an older or listed building in a place like Marden Beech, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.
