Storm damage roof report in Milebush
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. It sets out what is damaged, with photographs, and what we think the likely cause is. It’s yours to pass to your insurer. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We are not loss adjusters and cannot say whether a claim will be paid. We survey ridges and hips, slate and tile slopes and flashings, and common reasons people get in touch are loose or torn flashings and gutters pulled loose in the wind.
Somewhere as small as Milebush, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. We look at everything that’s safely in view and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Can I check my roof myself?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Milebush questions
Is my home in Milebush listed or in a conservation area?
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.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Milebush?
Yes, Milebush is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
How long will you be at the property?
It typically takes an hour or two at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. We will confirm the timing when booking.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Will you go up 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 loft space and a drone where applicable, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Do you look in the roof space?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Stay off the roof. Take photos from ground level or from windows. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
Milebush roofs and the weather
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. 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. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
For landlords with property near Marden station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. 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, leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.
Milebush is about 6 miles south of Maidstone, in Kent. If you’re in Milebush, booking works exactly as it does anywhere else: a call or an email, a price, then a date. Across Kent, we cover Milebush. For surveys nearby, see our Maidstone page.

What else we do in Milebush
The survey, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Somewhere like Milebush needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the loft space where it’s safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- The findings are written up with photographs for you to share with your insurer.
How to prepare
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
How to book
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

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
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.
Practical tips
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. You will have your own independent record to refer to.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
