FAQs for Stonehill Green
Will you come out to Stonehill Green?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Stonehill Green?
Yes, Stonehill Green is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
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. An independent report can add to your evidence, but we can’t say how it will turn out.
Do you look in the roof space?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Safely, from the ground or a window. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. With binoculars, you can see a lot from the ground and we will inspect the rest from safe positions.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
About our storm damage roof report in Stonehill Green
After a storm, it is useful to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We are not loss adjusters and can’t tell you if your claim will succeed. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. Common reasons to book are loose or torn flashings and damaged ridges and hips, on slate and tile slopes, ridges and hips and gutters and fascias.
Many homes in small places like Stonehill Green face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Stonehill Green
Older houses across Kent frequently 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. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. Historic houses such as Hall Place and Gardens, about 2.4 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Stonehill Green goes. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you look after a building such as Hextable School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. The streets around a church such as St Peter 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.

Useful tips for Stonehill Green property owners
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
You will need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. They can damage the roof in high winds.

How we price storm damage roof reports
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Roof area
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.
What we need to know
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
We confirm the price for your survey before you book, so you know the cost up front. Prices start from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Different roofs, different checks
Chimney stacks
Pots, cowls and aerials on chimneys can be damaged or dislodged in a storm. The report notes any damage to the stack.
Ridge and hip tiles
Worn mortar under ridge tiles can let them lift in a storm. Our report says whether it looks freshly damaged or worn over time.
What we do, step by step
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Rural addresses near Stonehill 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. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- 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 is safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Check pets are kept safely away
How to book
