Mountain Street Storm Damage Roof Report
An independent record of roof damage after a storm in Mountain Street, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photographs.
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Damaged gutters and fascias
What happens if roof problems are left?
A clear, independent record helps you explain the damage to your insurer. It sets out what we found and the likely cause, alongside any photos you took yourself. In a place like Mountain Street, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.
Why book with us
- Over 20 years’ experience
- A written report with photos
- Weekday and weekend surveys
- Drone and thermal imaging surveys available

Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Mountain Street
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Photograph the damage from the ground or a window, and never climb up. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. We are frequently asked to look into damaged flat roof membrane and holes or cracks caused by debris, across flat roofs, chimney stacks and gutters and fascias.
For a small place like Mountain Street, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Mountain Street
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.
What happens on the day
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit typically takes an hour or two for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Rural addresses near Mountain Street can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
How to book
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or email us, let us know about the property and we’ll suggest the right survey. The price is agreed up front.

DIY checks: what’s safe
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.

FAQs for Mountain Street
Is Mountain Street within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you cover Mountain Street?
Yes, Mountain Street is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. If it’s safe, take photos before it goes on. Our report then records the roof.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Stay off the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
We cannot 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.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. It doesn’t include repair costs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for those.
Tips that help
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Don’t go onto the roof to take pictures
If anything in the report is not clear, just ask us. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
Storm damage roof reports around Mountain Street
Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand.
The streets around a church like Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. If you own a rental within reach of Chilham station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. If you live near a park such as Broadham Down, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
