What we do, step by step
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In a hamlet or village like Sharnal Street, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Before the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Tell us about parking before the day

About our storm damage roof report in Sharnal Street
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. It sets out what is damaged, with photos, and what we think the likely cause is. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We are not loss adjusters and can’t say whether a claim will be paid. Common reasons to book are damaged gutters and fascias and slipped or missing slates or tiles, across slate and tile slopes, flashings and chimney stacks.
For a small place like Sharnal Street, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Useful tips for Sharnal Street property owners
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Check your policy for how to report damage
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
Keep records of roof work and surveys. They help show the roof was in good order before a storm.
DIY checks: what’s safe
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Sharnal Street: your questions answered
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Sharnal Street?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there’s more wind, and more salt in the air. Exposed details such as ridges, verges, flashings and metal fixings are the ones to watch, and Sharnal Street is within about 2 miles of the coast.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Sharnal Street?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Will you check the loft?
Usually, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. Take photos from the ground first if it’s safe. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
Only your insurer can decide that. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the survey around it.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Sharnal Street roofs and the weather
The coast is about 2 miles or less from Sharnal Street, so there is more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. In a coastal gale, rain is driven sideways into laps, verges and flashings, and salt air slowly wears metal fixings. The wider area around Sharnal Street has a long history of building, with Restoration House about 4.9 miles south-west. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
If you let a flat or house near Gillingham (Kent) station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. If you look after a building such as High Halstow Primary Academy, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside. For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Margaret, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
