Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Stalisfield
What counts as a storm depends on your policy, though many use gusts of about 55 mph. Your policy document sets out its own definition. Whether the weather met it is for your insurer. Our part is recording the damage to your roof and its likely cause. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We’re often asked to look into slipped or missing slates or tiles and gutters pulled loose in the wind, across flashings, gutters and fascias and flat roofs.
For a small place like Stalisfield, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned in advance. It’s useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photograph. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Stalisfield
Some people book because a claim has been questioned. You get an independent record of what the roof shows. What happens next is up to the insurer.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Loose or torn flashings
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Mary, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Will the report include photos?
- Are they insured for the work?
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
Why get it checked now?
Once the storm has passed, damage that looked minor can let water in for months. Getting it recorded and repaired sooner is normally better. In a place like Stalisfield, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

For landlords and managing agents
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out by urgency where it matters, which helps when budgeting.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photographs included.
What we cannot see
It is a careful look at the roof, not the whole story. The main limits are:
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will point you to the right survey. What our survey covers.
What this survey covers

- Gutters and fascias
- Slate and tile slopes
- Flat roofs
- Flashings

The survey, step by step
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a photo-illustrated written report, sent to you by email. On timing, it typically takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Rural addresses near Stalisfield can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

Stalisfield roofs and the weather
Older houses across Kent frequently 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. With Belmont House and Gardens about 2.6 miles north-east, Stalisfield sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
If you let a flat or house near Charing station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. Homes near green spaces such as Spuckles and Kennelling Woods can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
Stalisfield is about 6 miles south-west of Preston, in Kent. Stalisfield is part of the area we cover across London and South East England. Stalisfield is one of the places in Kent where we work for storm damage roof reports. You can also see our page for Maidstone.

DIY checks: what’s safe
It is useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
FAQs for Stalisfield
Do you carry out roof surveys in Stalisfield?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Stalisfield is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Will you come out to Stalisfield?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We aren’t loss adjusters and do not act for you with the insurer. We give you an independent report of the damage for you to send to your insurer.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
How long does the survey take?
It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. The report follows by email.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. If it’s safe, photograph the damage before it is covered. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed as you book.
