Common questions in Radfield
Is Radfield within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Radfield?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there’s more wind, and more salt in the air. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it usually shows.
How long is the visit?
It typically takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. We will confirm the timing as you book.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Safely, from the ground or a window. Don’t use a ladder or go onto the roof. With binoculars, you can see a lot from ground level, and we will record the rest.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Storm damage roof report in Radfield
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from the ground, from windows and higher points, from the loft space and from the roof where it’s safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. We note any part we couldn’t see. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. We are often asked to look into flashings pulled away from walls or stacks and damage from fallen branches or debris, across slate and tile slopes, flashings and flat roofs.
Somewhere as small as Radfield, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. We check everything that’s safely in view and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Why it is worth a survey now in Radfield
Leaving storm damage can let water into the loft space and rooms below. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. In a small place like Radfield, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

What we do, step by step
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes about 1–2 hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Cottages and farmhouses around Radfield often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s 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
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

Advice
Tips that help
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
The report is emailed to you, and you decide what to send to your insurer. We do not deal with the insurer on your behalf.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.

What this survey can’t tell you

- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Damage from fallen branches or debris

Wind, rain and roofs in Radfield
Radfield is within about 3 miles of the coast. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording, and many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, though it varies. Belmont House and Gardens, about 4.9 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Radfield. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
Take an older house close to Church of St Lawrence: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Teynham Parochial Church of England Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.
