Common roof problems in Newnham
Storms do not only affect pitched roofs. Coverings can tear or peel back at the edges, and water can pond where outlets are blocked. Our report covers flat and pitched roofs.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Water coming in after the storm
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
Take a building like Eastling Primary School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

Storm damage roof report in Newnham: what you get
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We are not loss adjusters, and we cannot say whether a claim will be paid. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. We survey flashings, slate and tile slopes and gutters and fascias, and people most frequently book us about damaged gutters and fascias and loose or broken chimney pots and cowls.
Roofs in small places like Newnham often stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Questions from Newnham
Is Newnham within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Is Newnham in the area you cover?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Newnham is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Start by complaining to the insurer. If it is not resolved, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help. The Ombudsman looks at whether there were storm conditions, whether the damage fits a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. We can record the damage in our report.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Newnham?
It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and some details about the roof. We survey seven days a week.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Newnham
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.
With a portfolio of properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To discuss a number of properties, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Why act early in Newnham
Your policy may say how quickly you need to report damage. Check the wording and tell your insurer as soon as you can. An independent report can follow. Around Newnham, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.

Strong gusts can lift and break tiles. We record which are damaged and where.

Newnham roofs and the weather
About 2.2 miles south-east lies Belmont House and Gardens, a reminder of how long the area around Newnham has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. 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. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
If you let a flat or house near Teynham station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.
Newnham is about 4 miles south-west of Faversham, in Kent. We visit Newnham as part of our work across Kent, for homes and businesses alike. Newnham is one of the places in Kent we cover. Maidstone is in our area too.

What happens on the day
We look at the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is safe access, from inside the loft space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit normally takes about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. For a village or hamlet like Newnham, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- 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.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Let us know about parking near the property
