About our storm damage roof report in Pizien Well
Wear and tear is normally excluded from home insurance. So it matters whether the damage came from the storm or from a roof that was already worn. Our report records both: recent damage alongside any older defects, like nail fatigue on slates or eroded pointing. We describe what we see, whichever way it points. Your insurer then decides how its policy applies. We are often asked to look into holes or cracks caused by debris and damaged gutters and fascias, on slate and tile slopes, flat roofs and flashings.
Many homes in small places like Pizien Well 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 written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photo. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

How we price storm damage roof reports
When we price a survey, we consider:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Height and safe access
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.
What we need to know
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- What’s prompted the survey
- The property’s address and postcode
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
What we look for on each type of roof
Chimney stacks
Flashings around stacks can lift in strong winds. Loose flashings are recorded.
Ridge and hip tiles
Worn mortar under ridge tiles can let them lift in a storm. Our report says whether it looks freshly damaged or worn over time.
Common roof problems in Pizien Well
Landlords and managing agents book reports to keep a record for owners and insurers. The report can be shared with owners, tenants or insurers.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
If you look after a building such as Wateringbury Church of England Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- How soon the report will arrive
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Will the report include photos?
What happens on the day
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take an hour or two at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. Rural addresses near Pizien Well can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the loft space where it is safe.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
How to book

What do I do if water is coming in?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. We can record the damage in our report.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
Pizien Well roofs and the weather
Old Soar Manor, about 3.5 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Pizien Well. On older houses around here, roofs frequently 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. 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. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed.
If you let a flat or house near Wateringbury station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. If you live in an older home near Church of St John the Baptist, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

Useful tips for Pizien Well property owners
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Take photos from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Check your policy for how to report damage
You get the report by email and pass it to your insurer yourself. We do not deal with the insurer on your behalf.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
