Molash Storm Damage Roof Report
Storm damage roof reports in Molash from an independent, experienced roof surveyor. More than 20 years and over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
Leave it or get it looked at?
If a roofer needs to make the roof safe, take photos first if you can do so safely from ground level. Those photos show the damage as it was. In a place like Molash, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
Why us?
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- An independent look at the roof
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed
- Over 20 years’ experience

Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Molash
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: whether there were storm conditions around the date, whether the damage fits a storm, and whether the storm was the main cause. We record what the roof shows about the damage and its likely cause. You or your insurer can check the weather for the date. We survey chimney stacks, ridges and hips and flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged flat roof membrane and slipped or missing slates or tiles.
Many homes in small places like Molash face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Questions from Molash
Do you cover Molash?
Yes, Molash is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is my home in Molash listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
We can’t say whether a claim will be paid. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
Do you look in the roof space?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
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 walk on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed.
How the survey changes by roof type
Clay and concrete tiles
Broken or missing tiles leave the underlay exposed to rain. Each gap is recorded with a photo.
Chimney stacks
Older stacks with worn pointing or cracked flaunching are more likely to suffer. We record both the storm damage and the older wear.
When to book a survey in Molash
Insurers often want evidence of what has been damaged and why. An independent report gives you a clear record to send. Your insurer still makes the decision.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Stains appearing after strong winds
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- What experience they bring
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The size of the roof
- House, block, shop or office
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
What to tell us when you get in touch
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- Dates you are working to, like exchange
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Anything about access we should know
- Where the property is, with the postcode
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What happens on the day
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes about one to two hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a small place like Molash, 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.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there is access.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
How to book
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or drop us an email, and we will ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Storm damage roof reports in Molash: local notes
With Belmont House and Gardens about 3.8 miles north-west, Molash sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed.
For landlords with property near Wye station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

Useful tips for Molash property owners
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
You’ll need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
