How a storm damage roof report works in Northfleet Green
Our storm damage report starts from £150. It’s a written report with photographs, sent by email. It is not a repair quote and does not 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. Typical surveys look at loose or torn flashings and damaged pots on the stack, across flashings, ridges and hips and slate and tile slopes.
Many homes in small places like Northfleet Green face open ground, 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.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Wind, rain and roofs in Northfleet Green
Northfleet Green lies within about 4 miles of the sea, so storms can arrive with strong gusts off the water. What counts as a storm is set by each policy, often gusts of around 55 mph, and the insurer makes the decision. Cobham College, about 3.2 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Northfleet Green. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Take an older house close to Church of St Nicholas: the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. If you run a business near Bluewater, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters. Homes near green spaces like Castle Hill Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.

FAQs for Northfleet Green
Is my home in Northfleet Green listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is the coastal weather around Northfleet Green hard on roofs?
Generally, yes: wind and salt air take more of a toll near the sea. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it typically shows, and Northfleet Green is within about 4 miles of the coast.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed when booking.
How long does the survey take?
It usually takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. The report follows by email.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Is Northfleet Green in your area?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and that includes Northfleet Green.

What else we do in Northfleet Green
How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will take it from there. A typical survey takes an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Rural addresses near Northfleet Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
How to book
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Before and after the survey

- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can

How we price storm damage roof reports
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- Roof area
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Which survey package you book
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
Booking your survey
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- When you need the report by
- What kind of property and roof it is
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
Unsure which package suits your roof? It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will talk you through the options and what they cost.
Why get it checked now?
If the damage is partly wear and tear, it is better to know. Our report gives an honest view of both, so you know what the roof shows. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
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.
Why choose Independent Roof Survey in Northfleet Green

- Weekday and weekend surveys
- We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- A written report with photos
What you can safely check yourself
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: 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.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
