Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Mott's Mill
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. It sets out what is damaged, with photographs, and what we think the likely cause is. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We aren’t loss adjusters and can’t say whether a claim will be paid. If you’re worried about broken or displaced guttering and torn or lifted flat roof coverings, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Being in a small place like Mott's Mill makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned in advance. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
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.

Storm damage roof reports in Mott's Mill: local notes
About 1.6 miles north-east lies Groombridge Place, a reminder of how long the area around Mott's Mill has been built on. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Across Kent, older roofs are frequently handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. 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.
Take a building like Groombridge St Thomas' Church of England Primary School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. The streets around a church like Church of St Thomas the Apostle are often 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. If you own a rental within reach of Eridge station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

Each policy has its own definition. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but your policy sets the actual test.

Tips that help
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. Our suggestions:
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. After that, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Check the roof from ground level after strong winds. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Do not go up a ladder to look.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, from ground level, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where it applies. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a small place like Mott's Mill, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
