Landlord and commercial surveys in Seasalter
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
About our storm damage roof report in Seasalter
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Take photos from the ground or from windows, and do not climb onto the roof. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. If you are worried about broken or displaced guttering and loose or broken chimney pots and cowls, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Being in a small place like Seasalter makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. It’s useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

How it works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. Somewhere like Seasalter needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Advice
How we price storm damage roof reports
We confirm the exact price before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- The size of the roof
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, including VAT.
Booking your survey
There’s no need for technical words. It is enough to tell us:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- The address and postcode of the property
Not sure which survey you need? It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We’ll explain the options and the price.
Leaks and storm damage in Seasalter
Seasalter is within about 1 mile of the coast, so there is more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Strong wind lifts anything already loose, and driving rain gets in wherever it can. Older houses across Kent frequently have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. You will also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
Take a building like Joy Lane Primary Foundation School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. If you own a rental within reach of Whitstable station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. Take an older house close to Seasalter Christian Centre: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
Seasalter is about 2 miles west of Whitstable, in Kent. Houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings in Seasalter can all book storm damage roof reports. Seasalter is one of the places in Kent where we work. We also survey roofs in Canterbury.
Surveys in CT5 are booked the same way as anywhere else. We offer storm damage roof reports to properties on Eden Road, Allan Road and Church Lane. Neighbouring places we cover for storm damage roof reports include Highstreet (1 mile south), Waterham (2 miles south-west), Dargate (2 miles south), Graveney (3 miles south-west) and Hernhill (3 miles south-west).

Well-known places in the area include Tankerton Castle (2 miles north-east) and Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital (2.5 miles north-east). For a walk, there’s Blean Woods RSPB Reserve.
Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
You get the report by email and pass it to your insurer yourself. It’s your record to use.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. They can damage the roof in high winds.
DIY checks: what’s safe
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: 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.
Different roofs, different checks
Chimney stacks
Stacks with existing defects tend to suffer more in storms. We record both the storm damage and the older wear.
Slate roofs
Slates can slip or blow off in a storm, especially where the nails have corroded. Our report notes moved slates and any sign of older corrosion.
Questions from Seasalter
Do you cover smaller places like Seasalter?
Yes, Seasalter is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
How do I find out if my home in Seasalter is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. Take photos from ground level first if it is safe. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Seasalter?
Simply call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Do you look in the roof space?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
