Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Nonington
High winds typically affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Falling branches can cause damage too. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. If you’ve noticed new damp or leaks inside and lead lifted at abutments, we can find out what’s behind it.
Somewhere as small as Nonington, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you are thinking of an insurance claim. We check what can safely be seen and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later.

Storm damage roof reports around Nonington
The wider area around Nonington has a long history of building, with Goodnestone Park about 1.4 miles north. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Nonington Church of England Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

Practical tips
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
- Photograph the damage safely from below
The report is emailed to you, and you decide what to send to your insurer. We don’t deal with the insurer on your behalf.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
How the survey works
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. In total, it takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Rural addresses near Nonington can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

FAQs for Nonington
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Nonington?
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.
Do you cover Nonington?
Yes, Nonington is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Complain to your insurer first. If you are still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. An independent report can add to your evidence, though we cannot predict the outcome.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it is safe. We inspect what can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
How long does the survey take?
It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. The written report follows by email.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We are not loss adjusters and do not act for you with the insurer. We provide an independent record of the roof, which you can pass to your insurer.
When you need someone else
In fairness, a roof survey has limits:
- A price for the repairs
- Your insurer’s view of the claim
- The outcome of a claim
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will suggest the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.
