Storm Damage Roof Report in Stone Corner
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Stone Corner. More than 5,000 surveys completed across London and South East England.
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Water coming in after the storm
What we look for on each type of roof
Lead flashings
When flashings lift, water can get behind them. We note where this has happened and any damp inside.
Ridge and hip tiles
A lifted ridge tile can let water into the roof. We photograph and describe the damage.
How a storm damage roof report works in Stone Corner
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We are not loss adjusters and can’t say whether a claim will be paid. If you are worried about new damp or leaks inside and damage from fallen branches or debris, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Many homes in small places like Stone Corner face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Leaks and storm damage in Stone Corner
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. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. The wider area around Stone Corner has a long history of building, with Smallhythe Place about 1.4 miles north-west. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.

The survey, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. For a village or hamlet like Stone Corner, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- You tell us when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We view the roof from wherever it can safely be seen, including the loft where there’s access.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- We check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
After the visit, we write up the report with photos of each area of damage. It covers the damage, its likely cause and any older defects. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
When to book a survey in Stone Corner
Strong winds lift loose or poorly fixed slates and tiles, ridge pieces and flashings. Rain can then blow in where slates or tiles have gone. Most people book a report soon after a storm, when they’ve seen damage or water has come in.
Common reasons to book include:
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Damaged ridges and hips
If you own a rental within reach of Appledore (Kent) station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Stone Corner
Is Stone Corner within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Stone Corner?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Stone Corner as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. If it is safe, take photos before it goes on. We can record the damage in our report.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
There’s no single figure. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Your policy document will say.
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.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Complain to your insurer first. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, though we can’t predict the outcome.
