South Street: your questions answered
Is South Street in the area you cover?
Yes, South Street is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details.
Do you cover smaller places like South Street?
Yes. South Street is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
How long will you be at the property?
It typically takes about one to two hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. We record the damage, with photos and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Safely, from the ground or a window. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. With binoculars, you can see a lot from ground level and we’ll inspect the rest from safe positions.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. If it’s safe, take photos before it goes on. We can record the damage in our report.
How do I book a survey in South Street?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
How a storm damage roof report works in South Street
We inspect the roof from wherever it can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows and higher points, from the roof space and from the roof where it is safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. If part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. You get a written report with photos to give to your insurer. We survey flat roofs, gutters and fascias and ridges and hips, and common reasons people get in touch are slates and tiles blown off the roof and lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles.
Somewhere as small as South Street, older roofs have often been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. We check whatever is safely visible and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Leaks and storm damage in South Street
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. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. About 3.3 miles north-east lies Cobham College, a reminder of how long the area around South Street has been built on. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Trees in and around Trosley Country Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. Take a building like Culverstone Green Primary School: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

Why it’s worth a survey now in South Street
Your policy may say how quickly you need to report damage. Let your insurer know early, and check what your policy asks for. An independent report can follow. For older village homes like those around South Street, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
