Storm damage roof report in St Peter's: what you get
After a storm, safety comes first. Photograph the damage from ground level or a window, and never climb up. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. Typical surveys look at ridge tiles that have come loose and gutters pulled loose in the wind, across slate and tile slopes, ridges and hips and chimney stacks.
Chimney stacks on older houses around places like St Peter's can let water in, through worn flaunching, failed pointing or lifted flashings. Damp in a chimney breast can have more than one cause, so it is not always obvious where it starts. It is worth looking at the stack from outside and at the timbers beside it in the loft.
We write the report in plain English, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

Common questions in St Peter's
Is my home in St Peter's listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in St Peter's?
It can do. St Peter's is within about 2 miles of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
How long does the survey take?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof, but most surveys take about one to two hours at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We are not loss adjusters and don’t act for you with the insurer. We give you an independent report of the damage, which you can pass to your insurer.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you contact us and we will explain what’s needed.
How we price storm damage roof reports
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- Height and safe access
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the roof. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.
What to tell us when you get in touch
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, tell us:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- When you need the report by
Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or email us.
How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roof coverings
Lifted trims and laps are common after a storm. The report notes signs of recent damage and older wear.
Slate roofs
In high winds, slates can slip or go, frequently where nails have rusted. Our report notes moved slates and any sign of older corrosion.
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in St Peter's
Falling trees and branches can damage roofs in high winds. We record the damage and where it is, backed up with photos.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Peter the Apostle, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.
What to check before booking
- Will the report include photos?
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- How long the report takes to arrive
The survey, step by step
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a smaller place like St Peter's, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from the ground, with the loft showing the underside.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- 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.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Getting ready for the survey
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
Arrange a survey
We confirm the price for your roof before booking, so you know the cost up front. Prices start from £150, including VAT. To book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

St Peter's roofs and the weather
St Peter's lies within about 2 miles of the sea, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. In a coastal gale, rain is driven sideways into laps, verges and flashings, and salt air slowly wears metal fixings. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Dane Court Grammar School, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside. For businesses in and around places such as Westwood Cross, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters.
St Peter's is about 1 mile north-west of Broadstairs, in Kent. Whether the building in St Peter's is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, the roof can be surveyed on a weekday or at the weekend. St Peter's is one of the towns and villages in Kent we cover. For surveys nearby, see our Canterbury page.
Storm damage roof reports in CT10 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. Whether your property is on Upton Road, Green Lane and Speke Road or anywhere close by, we can survey it. Main roads around St Peter's include the A255, so getting to you is simple.

For rail, the closest station is Broadstairs station, about 0.7 miles south-east. Well-known places in the area include Crampton Tower (0.7 miles south-east) and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother Hospital (1.5 miles north-west). For a walk, there is Sandwich and Pegwell Bay.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
