Storm damage roof reports around Paddock Wood
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. 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. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
If you look after a building such as Paddock Wood Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. If you let a flat or house near Paddock Wood station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away.

Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Paddock Wood
Our storm damage report starts from £150. It is a photo-illustrated written report, sent by email. It doesn’t price the repairs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for that. 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. If you’ve noticed broken or displaced guttering and loose or torn flashings, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on gutters and fascias, ridges and hips and slate and tile slopes alike.
In a smaller place like Paddock Wood, some roofs face open ground, so wind and driving rain find any weakness in ridges, verges and flashings. A leak that only appears in certain weather frequently points to an exposed detail. It’s useful to know when and where the water appears. Gutters and downpipes on the exposed side are worth a look as well.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Paddock Wood
Do you cover Paddock Wood?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Paddock Wood is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Paddock Wood?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Tell us about it when booking and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We aren’t loss adjusters and don’t act for you with the insurer. We provide an independent record of the roof for you to send to your insurer.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. If it’s safe, photograph the damage before it’s covered. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we will take it from there. Surveys run on any day of the week.
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Paddock Wood?
Landlords and building managers often need a written record after a storm. The report can be shared with owners, tenants or insurers.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Loose or torn flashings
Trees in and around Foal Hurst Wood shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Their insurance cover

- The size of the roof

- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside

What we do, step by step
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, from ground level, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where it applies. The survey usually takes between one and two hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. For a survey in Paddock Wood, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before we arrive
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
How to book
You can call us seven days a week. For a price or to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Related advice
Checking the roof from the ground
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Different roofs, different checks
Chimney stacks
Pots, cowls and aerials on chimneys can be damaged or dislodged in a storm. The report notes any damage to the stack.
Flat roof coverings
Lifted trims and laps are common after a storm. We check whether the damage is recent or older.
