Storm damage roof reports across North Street, with over 20 years’ experience behind it. You get a clear report with photographs.

Before and after the survey
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. You’ll have your own independent record to refer to.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
Storm damage roof report in North Street
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It isn’t a repair quote and doesn’t include repair costs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. We survey flat roofs, flashings and gutters and fascias, and the problems we are asked to look at most are new damp or leaks inside and broken or displaced guttering.
Many homes in small places like North Street face open ground, 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 photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

Storm damage roof reports in North Street: local notes
North Street lies within about 5 miles of the sea, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, and driving rain finds any gap they leave. About 2 miles south-west lies Belmont House and Gardens, a reminder of how long the area around North Street has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St James, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. For landlords with property near Faversham station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
North Street is about 2 miles south of Faversham, in Kent. From houses to flats and shops in North Street, the roof can be surveyed. Across Kent, we cover North Street. For surveys nearby, see our Canterbury page.

Surveys for landlords and agents in North Street

Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
How the survey works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take an hour or two at a typical home, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Around North Street, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
Booking a survey

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in North Street
Does being near the coast affect roofs in North Street?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there’s more wind, and more salt in the air. Exposed details like ridges, verges, flashings and metal fixings are the ones to watch, and North Street is within about 5 miles of the coast.
Will you come out to North Street?
Yes. North Street is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. We look at the parts we’re given access to.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Stay off the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
What a survey costs
Our packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Which survey package you book
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Booking your survey
These details help when you get in touch:
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
To book a survey, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. You will know the price before anything is booked.
Common roof problems in North Street
Some people book because a claim has been questioned. You get an independent record of what the roof shows. What happens next is up to the insurer.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
If you look after a building like Sheldwich Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
