About our storm damage roof report in Stone Cross
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It doesn’t price the repairs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. We survey slate and tile slopes, gutters and fascias and flashings, and common reasons people get in touch are broken or displaced guttering and lead lifted at abutments.
Being in a small place like Stone Cross makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photo where possible.

Stone Cross questions
Do you carry out roof surveys in Stone Cross?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Stone Cross as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is my home in Stone Cross listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you go up on the 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.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. If you are still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, though we cannot predict the outcome.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We are not loss adjusters, and we do not negotiate claims. We provide an independent record of the roof for you to send to your insurer.
What if the roof was already worn?
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. We note both storm damage and older defects, so it is clear what we found. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
When you need someone else
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- How your policy defines a storm
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
- Acting for you with the insurer

Surveys for landlords and agents in Stone Cross
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.
Why get it checked now?
A clear, independent record helps you explain the damage to your insurer. It records the damage and what seems to have caused it, so you are not relying only on your own photos. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Why us?
- Prices that include VAT
- Photographs and a written report every time
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Customer satisfaction of 98%

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Stone Cross
Insurers frequently want evidence of what has been damaged and why. A written report with photos gives you something clear to pass on. Your insurer still makes the decision.

- Lead lifted at abutments
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Damaged flat roof membrane
Landlords with a home close to Ashurst Kent station may find that a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away.

- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Will the report include photos?
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- How long the report takes to arrive
What happens on the day
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Older roofs in small places like Stone Cross can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Keep pets in another room
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Stone Cross
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. Historic houses such as Groombridge Place, about 1.1 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Stone Cross goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Take a building like Fordcombe Church of England Primary School: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near The Corn Exchange, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down.
