How we price storm damage roof reports

- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Which survey package you book
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.

Storm damage roof report in Meopham
Our storm damage report starts from £150. It’s a photo-illustrated written report, sent by email. It is not a repair quote and does not include repair costs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. Typical surveys look at roofs hit by falling trees and slipped or missing slates or tiles, on chimney stacks, gutters and fascias and slate and tile slopes.
Houses in smaller places like Meopham can stand more in the open, so wind and driving rain find any weakness in ridges, verges and flashings. If a leak shows only when the wind is in a certain direction, that’s a useful clue. It helps to know when and where the water appears. The gutters on the most exposed side can overflow too.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

For landlords and managing agents
We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as householders. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the roof, useful for planning maintenance.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier.
When to book a survey in Meopham
Landlords and managing agents book reports to keep a record for owners and insurers. The report can be shared with owners, tenants or insurers.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Loose or torn flashings
- Broken or displaced guttering
The streets around a church like Parish Church of St John the Baptist are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
What happens on the day
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. If you have questions on the day, just ask. A visit to Meopham is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed ahead of time. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. Let us know about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.

What we look for on each type of roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Older tiles held only by nibs, without nails or clips, can lift more easily. We note what we can see of how tiles are fixed.
Lead flashings
Old flashings that were already loose can give way in a storm. Our report separates fresh damage from older wear where we can.
FAQs for Meopham
Is Meopham in the area you cover?
Yes, Meopham is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Meopham as anywhere else.
How do I find out if my home in Meopham is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Safely, from ground level or a window. Do not use a ladder or go onto the roof. With binoculars, you can see a lot from the ground, and we’ll record the rest.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we will explain what’s needed.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Insurers typically exclude wear and tear. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
Why get it checked now?
Many policies expect damage to be reported promptly. Let your insurer know early, and check what your policy asks for. Our report can then add a clear record. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Meopham, so it helps to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. A survey gives you that notice.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.

Storm damage roof reports around Meopham
The wider area around Meopham has a long history of building, with Cobham College about 1.8 miles north-east. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. You will 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.
If you let a flat or house near Meopham station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. Trees in and around Camer Park Country Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
