What a storm damage roof report does not cover
We only report everything that’s safely in view on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking. The full list of what we check.

Storm damage roof report in Stubb's Cross: what you get
After a storm, safety comes first. Take photos from ground level or from windows, and don’t climb onto the roof. Emergency temporary protection, like covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. We survey flashings, slate and tile slopes and gutters and fascias, and common reasons people get in touch are roofs hit by falling trees and new damp or leaks inside.
In a village or hamlet like Stubb's Cross, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Don’t go onto the roof to take pictures
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
You get the report by email and pass it to your insurer yourself. It is your record to use.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
Storm damage roof reports around Stubb's Cross
Across Kent, older roofs are frequently handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. Historic houses like Godinton House, about 3.3 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Stubb's Cross goes. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near St Francis, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. Trees in and around Ashford Community Woodland shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters.

Stubb's Cross: your questions answered
Is Stubb's Cross in the area you cover?
Yes, Stubb's Cross is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Stubb's Cross?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
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.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Start by complaining to the insurer. If it is not resolved, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help. The Ombudsman looks at whether there were storm conditions, whether the damage fits a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
How experienced are you?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
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.
How the survey changes by roof type
Clay and concrete tiles
