Storm Damage Roof Report in Weddington
Storm damage roof reports in Weddington and the rest of Kent. We survey on any day of the week.
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Lead lifted at abutments
The survey, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes about one to two hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. Around Weddington, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Getting ready for the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in

Storm damage roof report in Weddington: what you get
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. Our report records both: recent damage alongside any older defects, like nail fatigue on slates or eroded pointing. We describe what we see, whichever way it points. Your insurer then decides how its policy applies. If you’ve noticed damaged gutters and fascias and holes or cracks caused by debris, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flashings, ridges and hips and flat roofs alike.
For a small place like Weddington, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned in advance. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

When to book a survey in Weddington
A storm often finds a roof’s existing weak spots. Corroded nails on slate roofs, worn mortar on ridges and old flashings can all give way. We record recent damage alongside older defects.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Water coming in after the storm
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
Landlords with a home close to Sandwich station may find that a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
What we cannot see
It is useful to know what a survey won’t do before booking:
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
- The outcome of a claim
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you before booking. What a survey covers and does not.

Wind, rain and roofs in Weddington
Weddington is within about 5 miles of the coast, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. In a coastal gale, rain is driven sideways into laps, verges and flashings, and salt air slowly wears metal fixings. About 3.9 miles south-west lies Goodnestone Park, a reminder of how long the area around Weddington has been built on. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Ash Cartwright and Kelsey Church of England Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. Take an older house close to Church of St Nicholas: leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.
Weddington is about 7 miles south-west of Ramsgate, in Kent. We cover Weddington and the rest of Kent, as part of our work across London and South East England. Weddington is one of the towns and villages in Kent we cover. For surveys nearby, see our Canterbury page.

What you can safely check yourself
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book and it will help the survey.

Why it is worth a survey now in Weddington
Leaving storm damage can let water into the roof space and rooms below. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. In a small place like Weddington, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, inc. VAT, and we can help you choose.

Weddington: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Weddington?
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.
Is the coastal weather around Weddington hard on roofs?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there is more wind, and more salt in the air. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it usually shows.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. Take photos from the ground first if it’s safe. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Weddington
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the survey around it.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
