About our storm damage roof report in Marden Thorn
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there is access, and the roof itself where that is safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. We note any part we couldn’t see. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. If you’ve noticed roofs hit by falling trees and loose or torn flashings, we can find out what’s behind it, on flat roofs, chimney stacks and gutters and fascias alike.
Many homes in small places like Marden Thorn 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.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

What else we do in Marden Thorn
Checking the roof from the ground
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Leaks and storm damage in Marden Thorn
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand. Older houses across Kent frequently have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
If you own a rental within reach of Marden station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away.

The survey, step by step
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes between one and two hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Older roofs in small places like Marden Thorn can have low, tight loft spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Before the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
