Storm Damage Roof Report in Marden
Need a storm damage roof report in Marden? We can help, with a written report you can act on. Weekday and weekend visits available.
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Water coming in after the storm
Why get it checked now?
A clear, independent record helps you explain the damage to your insurer. It records the damage and what seems to have caused it, alongside any photos you took yourself. Blocked gutters on homes around Marden overflow and soak walls, particularly where trees overhang. Dealing with the cause is simple; drying out a wall is not.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Why book with us
- Visits on any day of the week
- An independent view of the roof
- Package prices that include VAT
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed

How a storm damage roof report works in Marden
After a storm, safety comes first. Photograph the damage from the ground or a window, and never climb up. Emergency temporary protection, such as covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. If you are worried about damaged ridges and hips and new damp or leaks inside, we can find out what’s behind it, on flashings, flat roofs and chimney stacks alike.
Houses in smaller places like Marden can stand more in the open, where driving rain gets into any gap at a ridge, verge or flashing. A leak that only appears in certain weather frequently points to an exposed detail. It is useful to know when and where the water appears. Gutters and downpipes on the exposed side are worth a look as well.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Common roof problems in Marden
Flat roofs can be damaged too. Coverings can tear or peel back at the edges, and water can pond where outlets are blocked. We record what we find on flat and pitched roofs alike.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
For landlords with property near Marden station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.
Wind, rain and roofs in Marden
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. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
The streets around a church such as St Michael and All Angels Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. Take a building like Marden Primary School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

Common questions in Marden
How do I find out if my home in Marden is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you cover Marden?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Marden as anywhere else.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know the address and what you’d like to know. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. Take photos from the ground first if it is safe. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Practical tips
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
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.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
What we do, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It usually takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Marden is booked with the forecast in mind: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
How to prepare
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
