Questions from Stonebridge Green
How do I find out if my home in Stonebridge Green is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is Stonebridge Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Stonebridge Green is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
How are storm damage reports priced?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. The report does not include repair costs.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
Only your insurer can decide that. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
What if the roof was already worn?
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so you know what the roof shows. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
It varies by policy. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but your policy sets the actual test.
How a storm damage roof report works in Stonebridge Green
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. It’s yours to pass to your insurer. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We’re not loss adjusters, and we can’t tell you whether a claim will succeed. We are frequently asked to look into damaged ridges and hips and water coming in after the storm, across gutters and fascias, flat roofs and flashings.
Being in a small place like Stonebridge Green makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. 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.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

How the survey works
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit usually takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Rural addresses near Stonebridge Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets in another room
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

What a storm damage roof report does not cover
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- Acting for you with the insurer
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you. The full list of what we check.
What this survey covers
- Slate and tile slopes
- Ridges and hips
- Flashings
- Flat roofs
- Gutters and fascias
- Chimney stacks
How the survey changes by roof type
Ridge and hip tiles
Ridge tiles bedded in old mortar can loosen in high winds. We note whether the mortar looks recently broken or long worn.
Chimney stacks
Wind can pull the flashings away from a chimney. We photograph any we find.
Before and after the survey
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Check your policy for how to report damage
You’ll need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
Stonebridge Green roofs and the weather
Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. The wider area around Stonebridge Green has a long history of building, with Godinton House about 5 miles south-east. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
The streets around a church like Church of St James are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. If you own a rental within reach of Charing station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. Anyone responsible for a site like Egerton Church of England Primary School will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

Why get it checked now?
The sooner the damage is recorded, the clearer the evidence. Further storms and quick fixes can make the picture less clear. Outbuildings and barns around Stonebridge Green are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is 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. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Can I check my roof myself?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
