Storm damage roof report in Mount Pleasant, Kent
We take a careful look at the roof at your property in Mount Pleasant, with photographs and a written report.
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
The survey, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take an hour or two at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Somewhere as small as Mount Pleasant, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You let us know when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the loft space where it’s safe.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
How to prepare
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Let us know about parking near the property

Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Storm damage roof report in Mount Pleasant: what you get
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. Our report focuses on the second and third points. Weather records for the date are for you or your insurer to check. We survey chimney stacks, gutters and fascias and slate and tile slopes, and people most often book us about slipped or missing slates or tiles and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind.
Being in a small place like Mount Pleasant makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Common roof problems in Mount Pleasant
Landlords and managing agents book reports to keep a record for owners and insurers. It helps when explaining damage to a building owner or insurer.
Common reasons to book include:
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Minster Church of England Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
What to check before booking
- Will the report include photos?
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the price includes VAT

What else we do in Mount Pleasant
Mount Pleasant: your questions answered
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Mount Pleasant, take more of a battering?
Places near the sea get more wind and more salt in the air than inland, and both are hard on roofs. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces.
Is my home in Mount Pleasant listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We are not loss adjusters and do not act for you with the insurer. We provide an independent record of the roof for you to send to your insurer.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. Repair costs are not included, so ask a roofer to quote.
Will you check the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Do you work in Mount Pleasant?
Yes, we do. Mount Pleasant is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Mount Pleasant
The coast is about 3 miles or less from Mount Pleasant, so there is more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Strong wind lifts anything already loose, and driving rain gets in wherever it can. With Quex Park about 1.6 miles north, Mount Pleasant sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Landlords with a home close to Minster station may find that tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. If you live in an older home near St Mildreds Church, leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

Tips that help
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. You will have your own independent record to refer to.
Check the roof from the ground after strong winds. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Don’t go up a ladder to look.
