About our storm damage roof report in Nackington
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. We survey flat roofs, flashings and chimney stacks, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and flashings pulled away from walls or stacks.
In a village or hamlet like Nackington, older cottages and farmhouses frequently have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Nackington?
Landlords and building managers often need a written record after a storm. The report can be shared with owners, tenants or insurers.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Water coming in after the storm
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
For businesses in and around places such as Whitefriars Shopping Centre, water through a ceiling can damage stock and close a sales floor, so the source needs finding fast.

- Are they insured for the work?
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- When you will get the report
How the survey works
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. The survey itself takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Older rural homes like those around Nackington can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We view the roof from wherever it can be seen safely, including the loft where there’s access.
- 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 photos for you to share with your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Tell us where we can park nearby

Common questions in Nackington
Do you carry out roof surveys in Nackington?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Nackington is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Nackington?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. Repair costs aren’t included, so ask a roofer to quote.
What do I do if water is coming in?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. If it’s safe, take photos before it goes on. Our report then records the roof.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. An independent report can add to your evidence, but we cannot say how it will turn out.
Storm damage roof reports in Nackington: local notes
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
Anyone responsible for a site like Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys will know that water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. If you let a flat or house near Canterbury East station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Many policies expect damage to be reported promptly. Let your insurer know early, and check what your policy asks for. Our report can then add a clear record. Older and listed buildings around Nackington may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
