About our storm damage roof report in Street End
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. Our report records both: recent damage alongside any older defects, like nail fatigue on slates or eroded pointing. We describe what we see, whichever way it points. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. We are often asked to look into ridge tiles that have come loose and slipped or missing slates or tiles, across chimney stacks, flashings and ridges and hips.
Roofs in small places like Street End 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 written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Why get it checked now?
Once the storm has passed, damage that looked minor can let water in for months. Acting quickly typically means less damage overall. In a small place like Street End, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. Most surveys take about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Older rural homes like those around Street End can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the roof space where it’s safe.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- The findings are written up with photographs for you to share with your insurer.
Before the survey
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
Arrange a survey
When you’re ready to go ahead, call 07833 053749 or send us an email. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.

When you need someone else
We only report whatever is safely visible on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
- Your insurer’s view of the claim
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will point you to the right survey. What our survey covers.
Roof types and parts we check
- Chimney stacks
- Slate and tile slopes
- Flat roofs
- Ridges and hips
- Gutters and fascias
- Flashings
DIY checks: what’s safe
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Street End
Is Street End within the area you cover?
Yes, Street End is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Is my home in Street End listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
Each policy has its own definition. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but your policy sets the actual test.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
How do I book a survey in Street End?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or email us. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. Surveys run on any day of the week.
What a survey costs
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The size of the roof
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, which starts from £400, including VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Getting in touch
There’s no need for technical words. Just tell us:
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- What kind of property and roof it is
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or email us to find out.
Storm damage roof reports around Street End
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so check with the council. 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. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
Anyone responsible for a site like Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys will know that tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. For landlords with property near Canterbury East station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary 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.
