About our storm damage roof report in Stonestreet Green

The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: whether there were storm conditions around the date, whether the damage fits a storm, and whether the storm was the main cause. We record what the roof shows about the damage and its likely cause. Weather records for the date are for you or your insurer to check. If you’re worried about damaged pots on the stack and slates and tiles blown off the roof, we can find out what’s behind it, on flashings, ridges and hips and flat roofs alike.

Somewhere as small as Stonestreet Green, older roofs have often been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. We look at whatever is safely visible and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.

Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Stonestreet Green

Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.

Landlords, agents and building managers in Stonestreet Green and across Kent can book any of our surveys. For a price for a let property or a block, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

How the survey works

The visit has one job: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Notes and photos go into the written report. The visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Cottages and farmhouses around Stonestreet Green frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.

  1. You let us know when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
  2. We view the roof from wherever it can safely be seen, including the loft where there is access.
  3. Each area of damage is photographed and described.
  4. We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
  5. You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.

Preparing for the visit

  • If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
  • Point out any leaks or damp patches
  • Make sure we can get to the back of the property

Booking a survey

Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know the cost up front. Prices start from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.

How the survey changes by roof type

Chimney stacks

Stacks with existing defects tend to suffer more in storms. Our report notes recent damage and older defects.

Lead flashings

Flashings can lift or pull away from walls and chimneys in strong winds. Loose or damaged flashings are photographed and noted.

Leaks and storm damage in Stonestreet Green

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. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. About 3.7 miles east lies Westenhanger Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Stonestreet Green has been built on. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.

Take an older house close to Church of St Martin: leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. If you own a rental within reach of Westenhanger station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. Trees in and around Poulton Wood shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.

What happens if roof problems are left?

Before temporary repairs, photograph the damage from ground level if it’s safe. That keeps a record of how it looked. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Stonestreet Green, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

What this survey cannot tell you

This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:

  • Your insurer’s view of the claim
  • A price for the repairs
  • Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up

Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll tell you before booking. The full list of what we check.

What we check

  • Flat roofs
  • Ridges and hips
  • Gutters and fascias
  • Chimney stacks
  • Slate and tile slopes
  • Flashings

Tips from our surveys

Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:

  • Take photos of stains and damp inside
  • Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
  • Keep receipts for any emergency work
  • Read your policy wording on storm damage

The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. You will have your own independent record to refer to.

Check the roof from the ground after strong winds. With binoculars, you can frequently spot problems without climbing. Do not go up a ladder to look.

Stonestreet Green: your questions answered

Is Stonestreet Green in the area you cover?

Yes, Stonestreet Green is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.

Will you come out to Stonestreet Green?

Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.

Should I go up on the roof to take photos?

Only from the ground or from windows. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. With binoculars, you can see a lot from ground level and we’ll inspect the rest from safe positions.

Are you loss adjusters?

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.

Will you fly a drone over my roof?

Yes, where it is applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.

Do you climb onto every roof?

Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.

Will my insurer pay for an old roof?

Insurers typically exclude wear and tear. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
