Common roof problems in Palmer's Green
Flat roofs can be damaged too. Coverings can tear or peel back at the edges, and water can pond where outlets are blocked. Our report covers flat and pitched roofs.
People typically book a survey after spotting something like this:
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Loose or torn flashings
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of All Saints, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

About our storm damage roof report in Palmer's Green
We inspect the roof from wherever it can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows and higher points, from the loft space and from the roof where it is safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. If part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. Common reasons to book are loose or torn flashings and flat roof edges peeled back, across flat roofs, ridges and hips and gutters and fascias.
For a small place like Palmer's Green, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Can I check my roof myself?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
Why act early in Palmer's Green

Palmer's Green: your questions answered
Do you cover Palmer's Green?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, and Palmer's Green is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in Palmer's Green is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We inspect what can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We are not loss adjusters, and we do not negotiate claims. We give you an independent report of the damage, which you can pass to your insurer.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not 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, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Only from the ground or from windows. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. With binoculars, you can see a lot from ground level and we will inspect the rest from safe positions.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
The survey, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there.

Storm damage roof reports around Palmer's Green
Older houses across Kent frequently have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. With Scotney Castle about 4 miles south, Palmer's Green sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Landlords with a home close to Paddock Wood station may find that finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. Take a building like Brenchley and Matfield Church of England Primary School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.
