When to book a survey in Rodmersham Green
Falling trees and branches can damage roofs in high winds. The report shows what was hit and the damage caused, backed up with photos.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
If you let a flat or house near Sittingbourne station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

How a storm damage roof report works in Rodmersham Green
After a storm, it helps to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We are not loss adjusters and can’t tell you if your claim will succeed. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. We survey slate and tile slopes, gutters and fascias and flat roofs, and people most often book us about flat roof edges peeled back and lead lifted at abutments.
In a village or hamlet like Rodmersham Green, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you are thinking of an insurance claim. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Checking the roof from ground level
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Rodmersham Green: your questions answered
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Rodmersham Green?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Rodmersham Green?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. 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.
Do you cover Rodmersham Green for storm damage roof reports?
Yes. We cover Rodmersham Green and the rest of Kent, as part of our work across London and South East England. To book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do you look in the roof space?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
Only your insurer can decide that. We record the damage, with photos and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Rodmersham Green?
To book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us the address and what you’d like to know. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Before and after the survey
You do not need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Check how your policy defines a storm
Questions about the findings are always welcome. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Do not go up a ladder to look.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Rodmersham Green
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which helps when tenants work during the week.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. Access is agreed with the tenant beforehand.
Storm damage roof reports around Rodmersham Green
Rodmersham Green is within about 4 miles of the coast, so there is more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, and driving rain finds any gap they leave, and salt air slowly wears metal fixings. Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Rodmersham School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

How the survey works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Around Rodmersham Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We check the roof from wherever it is safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
Book a survey
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or email us and give us a few details about the property and we will suggest the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
Advice
Honest limits
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Estimates of repair costs
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
- Negotiating a claim settlement
