How a storm damage roof report works in Nash
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. We survey slate and tile slopes, chimney stacks and flat roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are damage from fallen branches or debris and water coming in after the storm.
Many homes in small places like Nash face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Leaks and storm damage in Nash
Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. Historic houses such as Goodnestone Park, about 3 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Nash goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Take an older house close to Elmstone Church: water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

How the survey works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes an hour or two for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Cottages and farmhouses around Nash often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the loft space where it’s safe.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- We check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- The findings are written up with photographs for you to share with your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Keep pets in another room
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Checking the roof from ground level
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
Why it is worth a survey now in Nash

Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both including VAT. You will know the price for your roof before booking.

Useful tips for Nash property owners
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
