About our storm damage roof report in Mereworth
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. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. We survey ridges and hips, flat roofs and gutters and fascias, and common reasons people get in touch are holes or cracks caused by debris and damaged flat roof membrane.
Somewhere as small as Mereworth, older roofs have often been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What we look for on each type of roof
Lead flashings
Flashings can lift or pull away from walls and chimneys in strong winds. We record which are loose or damaged.
Clay and concrete tiles
Strong gusts can lift and break tiles. The report shows each damaged area.
When to book a survey in Mereworth
Branches and trees frequently come down on roofs during storms. The report shows what was hit and the damage caused, with photos.
People usually book a survey when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Damaged pots on the stack
If you let a flat or house near Wateringbury station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

How the survey works
We look at the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is safe access, from inside the roof space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. The whole visit normally takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In a small place like Mereworth, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the loft space where it is safe.
- The damage is recorded with photos, area by area.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- The findings are written up with photos for you to share with your insurer.
How to prepare
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Mereworth
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. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. Historic houses such as Old Soar Manor, about 2.5 miles west, show how far back building in the area around Mereworth goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Mereworth Community Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. Take an older house close to St Lawrence's Church: water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

DIY checks: what’s safe
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book and it will help the survey.
