Storm damage roof report in Sandwich Bay Estate
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’s safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. If part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. You get a photo-illustrated written report to give to your insurer. If you’re worried about lead lifted at abutments and gutters pulled loose in the wind, we can find out what’s behind it, on gutters and fascias, flashings and ridges and hips alike.
Many homes in small places like Sandwich Bay Estate face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
After the visit, you get a written report with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Why get it checked now?
Many policies expect damage to be reported promptly. Let your insurer know early, and check what your policy asks for. Our report can then add a clear record. In a place like Sandwich Bay Estate, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.

Common questions in Sandwich Bay Estate
Do you cover smaller places like Sandwich Bay Estate?
Yes, Sandwich Bay Estate is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Is the coastal weather around Sandwich Bay Estate hard on roofs?
Places near the sea get more wind and more salt in the air than inland, and both are hard on roofs. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, while strong wind lifts anything already loose.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
That’s not something we can promise. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Sandwich Bay Estate roofs and the weather
Sandwich Bay Estate is within about 1 mile of the coast, where storms can bring strong gusts off the sea.

Walmer Castle, about 4.6 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Sandwich Bay Estate. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.

How it works
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. All told, expect about one to two hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. Older rural homes like those around Sandwich Bay Estate can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- You tell us when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the roof space where it is safe.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Check the loft hatch can be reached

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Sandwich Bay Estate?
Others book after an insurer has queried a claim. You get an independent record of what the roof shows. We can’t say whether the decision will change.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
Anyone responsible for a site like Sir Roger Manwood's School will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
What to check before booking
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Are they insured for the work?
Useful tips for Sandwich Bay Estate property owners
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Photograph damage inside the house too
After the visit, we write up the report with photographs of each area of damage. It sets out what is damaged, the likely cause and any signs of older wear. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
