Storm damage roof report in New Pound: what you get
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. Our report records both: recent damage alongside any older defects, like nail fatigue on slates or eroded pointing. We describe what we see, whichever way it points. Your insurer then decides how its policy applies. We survey flat roofs, flashings and slate and tile slopes, and common reasons people get in touch are gutters pulled loose in the wind and loose or broken chimney pots and cowls.
For a small place like New Pound, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. Let us know 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.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

Wind, rain and roofs in New Pound
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 will also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed. The wider area around New Pound has a long history of building, with Old Soar Manor about 1.9 miles west. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Mereworth Community Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. The streets around a church such as St Lawrence's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. For landlords with property near Wateringbury station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away.

How it works
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. Most visits take about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In a small place like New Pound, access is usually the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the loft space where it is safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in New Pound
How do I find out if my home in New Pound is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is New Pound within the area you cover?
Yes. New Pound is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
Only your insurer can decide that. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. If it’s safe, take photos before it goes on. We can record the damage in our report.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in New Pound?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Our reports start from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. The report does not include repair costs.
What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The shape of the roof and its details
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.
Booking your survey
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It is useful to include:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Anything about access we should know
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us, let us know about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
What you can safely check yourself
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
You can learn a lot 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.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Damage left open lets in more rain. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. Emergency temporary protection should be arranged with a roofer. In a small place like New Pound, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Why us?
- Drones and thermal imaging where applicable
- PI and public liability insurance

Useful tips for New Pound property owners
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
Keep records of roof work and surveys. They can help show the roof was looked after.
