About our storm damage roof report in Stuppington
Wear and tear is usually excluded from home insurance. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. We note signs of each: 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. If you’ve noticed loose or torn flashings and new damp or leaks inside, we can find out what’s behind it.
Somewhere as small as Stuppington, older roofs have often been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you are 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.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

What we do, step by step
The visit has one job: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It usually takes about one to two hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a hamlet or village like Stuppington, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We check the roof from wherever it is safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
How to prepare
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
Arrange a survey
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or email us, and we will ask about the building and what you need. You will have a price before anything is arranged.
Advice
Leave it or get it looked at?
If a roofer needs to make the roof safe, take photos first if you can do so safely from the ground. That keeps a record of how it looked. Older cottages and farmhouses around Stuppington can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the roof. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.

Tips from our surveys
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
Questions about the findings are always welcome. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
Questions from Stuppington
Is Stuppington in the area you cover?
Yes, Stuppington is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is my home in Stuppington listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about 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.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. We can record the damage in our report.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It depends on your policy. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Your policy document will say.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. Repair costs aren’t included, so ask a roofer to quote.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Will you check the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
What you can safely check yourself
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Stuppington
Across Kent, older roofs are frequently handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
Shop and office owners around Whitefriars Shopping Centre may find that a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters. Anyone responsible for a site like Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
