Do you need a storm damage roof report in Sundridge?
A storm frequently finds a roof’s existing weak spots. Nail fatigue, eroded ridge mortar and tired flashings can all fail in high winds. Our report notes both the storm damage and any older wear.
Look out for signs like these:
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Combe Bank School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Is VAT included in the price?
Storm damage roof report in Sundridge: what you get
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We’re not loss adjusters, and we can’t tell you whether a claim will succeed. Typical surveys look at slipped or missing slates or tiles and broken or displaced guttering, across slate and tile slopes, ridges and hips and flashings.
For a small place like Sundridge, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. It’s useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Sundridge: your questions answered
Is my home in Sundridge listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is Sundridge in the area you cover?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, and Sundridge is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How long does the survey take?
Expect it to take between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
How do I book a survey in Sundridge?
Just call 07833 053749 or email us. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you as you book.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Somewhere like Sundridge needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We view the roof from wherever it can safely be seen, including the loft where there is access.
- The damage is recorded with photos, area by area.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Keep pets in another room
Arrange a survey

What happens if roof problems are left?
A few slipped slates can soon lead to wet timbers. Acting quickly typically means less damage overall. Outbuildings and barns around Sundridge are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

Wind, rain and roofs in Sundridge
The wider area around Sundridge has a long history of building, with Quebec House about 2.3 miles west. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. 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. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. Landlords with a home close to Dunton Green station may find that tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
