Storm Damage Roof Report in Twitham
A careful look at the roof at your property in Twitham, and put it all in a photo-illustrated written report.
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- New damp or leaks inside
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
The survey, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. For a village or hamlet like Twitham, the journey is planned beforehand: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Check we can get to the back of the property
How to book
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know where you stand. Prices start from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

About our storm damage roof report in Twitham
What counts as a storm depends on your policy, though many use gusts of about 55 mph. Check your own policy wording. We do not decide whether a storm met that test. We record the damage and what seems to have caused it. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. Typical surveys look at gaps where slates or tiles have gone and stains appearing after strong winds, on chimney stacks, flat roofs and slate and tile slopes.
Roofs in small places like Twitham 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 can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Twitham
About 1.6 miles south lies Goodnestone Park, a reminder of how long the area around Twitham has been built on. 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. Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
For landlords with property near Adisham station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. The streets around a church such as Church of St James are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

FAQs for Twitham
Do you cover smaller places like Twitham?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Twitham?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only if it’s safe. We check everything that can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Do you need to get into 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.
Do you test for 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 suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Our reports start from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. Repair costs are not part of the report.
Practical tips
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. If that doesn’t resolve it, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. With binoculars, you can frequently spot problems without climbing. Don’t go up a ladder to look.
