Storm damage roof report in Park Farm: what you get
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: whether there were storm conditions around the date, whether the damage fits a storm, and whether the storm was the main cause. Our report focuses on the second and third points. You or your insurer can check the weather for the date. We survey chimney stacks, flat roofs and flashings, and common reasons people get in touch are torn or lifted flat roof coverings and damaged gutters and fascias.
Houses in smaller places like Park Farm can stand more in the open, so wind and driving rain find any weakness in ridges, verges and flashings. A leak that only appears in certain weather often points to an exposed detail. It helps to know when and where the water appears. The gutters on the most exposed side can overflow too.
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.

Park Farm roofs and the weather
Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. The wider area around Park Farm has a long history of building, with Godinton House about 3.1 miles north-west. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you run a business near Ashford Designer Outlet, a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running. Trees in and around Ashford Green Corridors shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters. For landlords with property near Ashford International station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

What happens on the day
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect what can safely be seen, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey typically takes between one and two hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Park Farm, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. Inside, the loft is checked where it can be reached safely.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- The damage is recorded with photos, area by area.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- The findings are written up with photos for you to share with your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Check pets are kept safely away
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

Questions from Park Farm
Do you carry out roof surveys in Park Farm?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How do I find out if my home in Park Farm is listed?
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, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Stay off the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so it’s clear what we found. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
How experienced are you?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
What a survey costs
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- House, block, shop or office
- The size of the roof
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.
What to tell us when you get in touch
You do not need to know any roofing terms. It is enough to tell us:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- The property’s address and postcode
- When you need the report by
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Checking the roof from ground level
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
