Different roofs, different checks

Tiles can lift, crack or blow off in high winds. We record which are damaged and where.
Lead flashings
Old flashings that were already loose can give way in a storm. Our report separates fresh damage from older wear where we can.
About our storm damage roof report in Throwley
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. So it matters whether the damage came from the storm or from a roof that was already worn. Our report records both: recent damage alongside any older defects, like nail fatigue on slates or eroded pointing. We give an honest view of what we see. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. Common reasons to book are torn or lifted flat roof coverings and lead lifted at abutments, on slate and tile slopes, ridges and hips and gutters and fascias.
Many homes in small places like Throwley face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Common roof problems in Throwley
Landlords and managing agents book reports to keep a record for owners and insurers. The report can be shared with owners, tenants or insurers.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Loose or torn flashings
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
The streets around a church such as Church of St Michael and All Angels are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- What happens after the report arrives
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- How soon the report will arrive
The survey, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes an hour or two at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. If you have questions on the day, just ask. In a small place like Throwley, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Before we arrive
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
Book a survey
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or email us. You will have a price before anything is arranged.

Throwley questions
Will you come out to Throwley?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How do I find out if my home in Throwley is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. An independent report can add to your evidence, but we can’t say how it will turn out.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
How long does the survey take?
Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. The report follows by email.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Throwley
With Belmont House and Gardens about 0.6 miles north-west, Throwley sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Older houses across Kent frequently have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
Landlords with a home close to Faversham station may find that tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- How big the roof is
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
Every price we give includes VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for your roof before you book.
Helping us price your survey
There’s no need for technical words. It’s enough to let us know:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Anything about access we should know
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
Unsure which package suits your roof? It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll explain the options and the price.
Why get it checked now?
Damage left open lets in more rain. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. Outbuildings and barns around Throwley are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
