About our storm damage roof report in Stocks Green
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. Our report records both: recent damage alongside any older defects, like nail fatigue on slates or eroded pointing. We describe what we see, whichever way it points. Your insurer then decides how its policy applies. We survey flat roofs, ridges and hips and flashings, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are damaged gutters and fascias and flashings pulled away from walls or stacks.
Somewhere as small as Stocks Green, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. 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.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

The survey, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. Most visits take an hour or two at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Stocks Green often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Before the survey

Why get it checked now?
The sooner the damage is recorded, the clearer the evidence. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. Older cottages and farmhouses around Stocks Green can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and which survey you book.
Why us?
- Plain-English reports with photos
- Surveys seven days a week
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help
- Packages from £150, inc. VAT

Storm damage roof reports around Stocks Green
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. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. The wider area around Stocks Green has a long history of building, with Penshurst Place about 3.2 miles south-west. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
Anyone responsible for a site like Hildenborough Church of England Primary School will know that a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside. For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St John, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

Common questions in Stocks Green
Is Stocks Green in the area you cover?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Stocks Green is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details.
How do I find out if my home in Stocks Green is listed?
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.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. We record the damage, with photographs and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
Each policy has its own definition. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but your policy sets the actual test.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest.
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 and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Please do not climb onto the roof. Take photos from ground level or from windows. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
Honest limits
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Negotiating a claim settlement
- A decision on your insurance claim
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
If you’re not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
What we check
- Chimney stacks
- Flashings
- Slate and tile slopes
- Gutters and fascias
- Flat roofs
- Ridges and hips
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in Stocks Green book surveys as well as householders. A photo-illustrated written report gives you a clear record of the roof.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which can make access easier.
How we price storm damage roof reports
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- Roof area
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- House, block, shop or office
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, with VAT included, and we’ll tell you which fits.
What we need to know
There is no need for technical words. It is enough to let us know:
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- The address and postcode of the property
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or email us, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. You will have a price before anything is arranged.
Common roof problems in Stocks Green
Storms do not only affect pitched roofs. Wind can lift edges and tear coverings, and blocked outlets can leave water ponding after heavy rain. Our report covers flat and pitched roofs.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Stains appearing after strong winds
If you own a rental within reach of Hildenborough station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
Before booking anyone
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Whether VAT is added on top
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
