How a storm damage roof report works in Warren Street
Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies by policy. Your policy document sets out its own definition. Whether the weather met it is for your insurer. 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. The claim decision rests with your insurer. Typical surveys look at stains appearing after strong winds and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind, across chimney stacks, ridges and hips and flat roofs.
Roofs in small places like Warren Street often stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

For landlords and managing agents
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photographs.
What this survey can’t tell you
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Keep these in mind:
- Areas we cannot see safely
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
- A decision on your insurance claim
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll point you to the right survey before you book. The full list of what we check.
Roof types and parts we check
- Ridges and hips
- Chimney stacks
- Flashings
- Flat roofs
- Gutters and fascias
- Slate and tile slopes
Before and after the survey
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
You’ll need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
Check the roof from the ground after strong winds. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Do not go up a ladder to look.
Checking the roof from the ground
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
How the survey works
We look at the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is safe access, from inside the roof space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey typically takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Somewhere like Warren Street needs a little journey planning: let us know 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’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 inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there is access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- The findings are written up with photographs for you to share with your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Tell us about parking before the day

Advice
Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Warren Street
How do I find out if my home in Warren Street is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Warren Street?
Yes, Warren Street is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We’ll talk about access when you book.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
We can’t say whether a claim will be paid. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Leaks and storm damage in Warren Street
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. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. Belmont House and Gardens, about 4.1 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Warren Street. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For landlords with property near Lenham station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. If you live near a park like Spuckles and Kennelling Woods, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. Anyone responsible for a site like The Lenham School will know that a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.
