Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Well Head
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. It sets out what is damaged, with photos, and what we think the likely cause is. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We aren’t loss adjusters and cannot say whether a claim will be paid. If you’ve noticed loose or torn flashings and stains appearing after strong winds, we can find out what’s behind it.
For a small place like Well Head, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What we do, step by step
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. All told, expect between one and two hours at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Somewhere as small as Well Head, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- 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.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Leave side gates unlocked
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed

Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Photograph damage inside the house too
Once we’ve been, the findings are written up with photos. It covers the damage, its likely cause and any older defects. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
Store invoices and reports for any roof work. They can help show the roof was looked after.
Checking the roof from the ground
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Storm damage roof reports in Well Head: local notes
About 1.6 miles south lies Goodnestone Park, a reminder of how long the area around Well Head has been built on. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, 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. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
Take a building like Wingham Primary School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. If you let a flat or house near Adisham station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St Mary's Church, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

Roof by roof
Slate roofs
Slates can slip or blow off in a storm, particularly where the nails have corroded. We record which slates have moved and any signs of older nail fatigue.
Chimney stacks
Pots, cowls and aerials on chimneys can be damaged or dislodged in a storm. The report notes any damage to the stack.
Well Head: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in Well Head?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Do you cover smaller places like Well Head?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Tell us about it as you book and we will explain what’s needed.
What does a storm damage report cost?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs are not part of the report.
How long does the survey take?
It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. You’ll then get the report by email.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, but we cannot say how it will turn out.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
