Storm damage roof report in Marsh Green, Kent

What happens if roof problems are left?
Many policies expect damage to be reported promptly. Check the wording and tell your insurer as soon as you can. An independent report can follow. In a small place like Marsh Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Why book with us

- Packages from £150, including VAT

Storm damage roof report in Marsh Green: what you get
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. We note signs of each: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems such as corroded nails or worn mortar. We describe what we see, whichever way it points. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. Typical surveys look at broken or displaced guttering and flashings pulled away from walls or stacks, on chimney stacks, flat roofs and slate and tile slopes.
Many homes in small places like Marsh Green face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. 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.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Roof by roof
Lead flashings
Lifted flashings let rain run behind them into the roof. The report records the flashing and any damp inside.
Clay and concrete tiles
Broken or missing tiles leave the underlay exposed to rain. Each gap is recorded with a photo.

Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.

Marsh Green roofs and the weather
Historic houses such as Hever Castle, about 2.6 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Marsh Green goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Across Kent, older roofs are frequently handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Marsh Green Mission Church, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. Landlords with a home close to Edenbridge Town station may find that a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away.

What we do, step by step
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit usually takes between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Around Marsh Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Questions from Marsh Green
Is my home in Marsh Green 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.
Is Marsh Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Marsh Green is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
There’s no single figure. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Your policy document will say.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Complain to your insurer first. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. An independent report can add to your evidence, though we cannot predict the outcome.
What we cannot see
We only report what can be seen safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- A decision on your insurance claim
- How your policy defines a storm
- Acting for you with the insurer
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
