Storm damage roof reports for South Willesborough homes and businesses
Can I check my roof myself?
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
How a storm damage roof report works in South Willesborough
After a storm, it helps to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. Our report shows the damage in photos and says whether it looks like storm damage, wear and tear, or a mix. We’re not loss adjusters and can’t tell you if your claim will succeed. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. Typical surveys look at water coming in after the storm and damaged gutters and fascias, on flashings, slate and tile slopes and gutters and fascias.
Older cottages and houses around South Willesborough may have roofs with little or no underlay. Once the slates or tiles let water past, there is little to stop it reaching the ceiling. Finding where it gets in, and whether it’s old wear or new damage, decides what comes next. Wet battens and insulation in the loft are often the first clue.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photo where possible.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in South Willesborough
Is South Willesborough within the area you cover?
Yes, South Willesborough is covered. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Is South Willesborough in the area you cover?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and South Willesborough is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
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 is safe. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when booking.
How long will you be at the property?
It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
Each policy has its own definition. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but your policy sets the actual test.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Damage left open lets in more rain. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. Emergency temporary protection should be arranged with a roofer. On a bungalow or cottage around South Willesborough, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so a small leak can mark a ceiling within a few storms. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 with VAT included. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.

What a survey costs
To price your survey, we check:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The roof’s overall size
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.
Booking your survey
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- The address and postcode of the property
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We’ll confirm the price before you book.
What we look for on each type of roof
Ridge and hip tiles
A lifted ridge tile can let water into the roof. We photograph and describe the damage.
Slate roofs
Slates often outlast the nails that hold them. The report records whether slipped slates look like storm damage or older wear.
How the survey works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. Most surveys take an hour or two for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Being in a smaller place like South Willesborough does not change how the visit works: we look from the ground, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it is safe. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- You tell us when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there is 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in

Storm damage roof reports in South Willesborough: local notes
Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. About 3 miles north-west lies Godinton House, a reminder of how long the area around South Willesborough 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 an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. For businesses in and around places like Ashford Designer Outlet, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as East Stour Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
