Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Snodland
We inspect the roof from wherever it can safely be seen: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there is access, and the roof itself where that’s safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. If part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. We’re often asked to look into damaged flat roof membrane and holes or cracks caused by debris, on gutters and fascias, slate and tile slopes and flashings.
Chimney stacks on older houses around places like Snodland can let water in, at the flashings, the pointing or the mortar round the pots. Damp on a chimney breast isn’t always rain from above, which is why it’s worth tracing properly. The stack, its flashings and the loft space beside it are all worth checking.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Wind, rain and roofs in Snodland
Historic houses such as Starkey Castle, about 2.5 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Snodland goes. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Older houses across Kent frequently have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
If you own a rental within reach of Snodland station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. If you look after a building like Snodland CofE Primary School, a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside.
Snodland is about 4 miles south-west of Chatham, in Kent. Whether the building in Snodland is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, we can survey the roof on a weekday or at the weekend. We cover towns and villages across Kent. We also survey roofs in Maidstone.

Snodland questions
Will you come out to Snodland?
Yes, Snodland is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
How do I find out if my home in Snodland is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you look in the roof space?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
How long is the visit?
Expect it to take between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The written report follows by email.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
How do I book a survey in Snodland?
Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Practical tips
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Don’t go onto the roof to take pictures
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
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.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
What this survey cannot tell you
To be straight with you, there are limits to any roof survey:
- Areas we cannot see safely

If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will point you to the right survey. The full list of what we check.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Snodland
When you claim, your insurer may ask for evidence of the damage and its cause. An independent report gives you a clear record to send. Your insurer still makes the decision.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
The streets around a church like Church of the New Jerusalem are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

Why act early in Snodland
Your policy may say how quickly you need to report damage. Check the wording and tell your insurer as soon as you can. Our report can then add a clear record. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Snodland, so it helps to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. A survey gives you that notice.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

What else we do in Snodland
How it works
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there is safe access. In total, it takes about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. A visit to Snodland is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Tell us about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the loft space where it is safe.
- The damage is recorded with photos, area by area.
- We check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- The findings are written up with photographs for you to share with your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
