About our storm damage roof report in Nettlestead Green
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. It is yours to pass to your insurer. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We aren’t loss adjusters and cannot say whether a claim will be paid. If you’re worried about gaps where slates or tiles have gone and ridge tiles that have come loose, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on slate and tile slopes, flashings and gutters and fascias alike.
Roofs in small places like Nettlestead Green often stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
Questions about the findings are always welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
Keep records of roof work and surveys. They help show the roof was in good order before a storm.
Can I check my roof myself?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
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. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Nettlestead Green: your questions answered
Is Nettlestead Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Nettlestead Green is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Nettlestead Green as anywhere else.
Will you come out to Nettlestead Green?
Yes. Nettlestead Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
Each policy has its own definition. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but check your own wording.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Larger or more complex roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs aren’t included, so ask a roofer to quote.
How experienced are you?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
Will you check the loft?
Usually, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.

What else we do in Nettlestead Green
Wind, rain and roofs in Nettlestead Green
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. 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. The wider area around Nettlestead Green has a long history of building, with Old Soar Manor about 4.3 miles north-west. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
Take an older house close to St Mary's Church: lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Damaged pots on the stack

The survey, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. It typically takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Around Nettlestead Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- You tell us 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 is safe.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- The findings are written up with photos for you to share with your insurer.
Before the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
Getting a price
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.
