About our storm damage roof report in Sevington
Our storm damage report starts from £150. It is a report with photos, sent by email. It is not a repair quote and does not include repair costs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. If you’ve noticed damage from fallen branches or debris and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind, we can find out what’s behind it, on flat roofs, gutters and fascias and ridges and hips alike.
Somewhere as small as Sevington, older roofs have often 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. 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.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photo. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Tips that help
You do not need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
You will need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Tell us about it when booking and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Sevington: your questions answered
Is my home in Sevington listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Will you come out to Sevington?
Yes, Sevington is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
How many surveys have you done?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
That’s not something we can promise. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when booking.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
There’s no single figure. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Check your policy wording.
DIY checks: what’s safe
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Sevington
Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. About 3.9 miles north-west lies Godinton House, a reminder of how long the area around Sevington has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For landlords with property near Ashford International station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. Trees in and around Ashford Green Corridors shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

Common roof problems in Sevington
A storm often finds a roof’s existing weak spots. Nail fatigue, eroded ridge mortar and tired flashings can all fail in high winds. Our report notes both the storm damage and any older wear.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Willesborough Junior School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Their track record with similar roofs
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
The survey, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. Around Sevington, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- 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 we arrive
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
