Storm damage roof report in Stone in Oxney
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It does not 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. If you are worried about roofs hit by falling trees and torn or lifted flat roof coverings, we can find out what’s behind it, on ridges and hips, gutters and fascias and flat roofs alike.
Roofs in small places like Stone in Oxney often stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Why it is worth a survey now in Stone in Oxney

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Stone in Oxney
Historic houses such as Smallhythe Place, about 3.2 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Stone in Oxney goes. Older homes in the wider area often 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. Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
The streets around a church such as Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

Questions from Stone in Oxney
Do you cover smaller places like Stone in Oxney?
Yes. Stone in Oxney is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is my home in Stone in Oxney listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. We can record the damage in our report.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Stay off the roof. Take photos from the ground or from windows. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the freeholder or managing agent. Tell us about it when you book and we will plan the survey around it.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We are not loss adjusters, and we don’t negotiate claims. We provide an independent record of the roof, which you can pass to your insurer.
Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
If you are unhappy with how your insurer handles the claim, you can complain to them first. If that does not resolve it, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
