What a survey costs
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The roof’s overall size
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Helping us price your survey
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. Just tell us:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- What made you get in touch
- Anything about access we should know
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
To book a survey, call 07833 053749 or email us and tell us the address and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price before booking.
Storm damage roof report in Willington
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. It is a written report with photographs, sent by email. It does not price the repairs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for that. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. We survey slate and tile slopes, ridges and hips and flashings, and common reasons people get in touch are roofs hit by falling trees and gaps where slates or tiles have gone.
In a smaller place like Willington, some roofs face open ground, where driving rain gets into any gap at a ridge, verge or flashing. If a leak shows only when the wind is in a certain direction, that is a useful clue. It is useful to know when and where the water appears. Gutters and downpipes on the exposed side are worth a look as well.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photo. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

For landlords and managing agents
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. Access is agreed with the tenant beforehand.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out by urgency where it matters, which helps when budgeting.
How it works
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos, emailed to you. On timing, most surveys take between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Being in a smaller place like Willington does not change how the visit works: we look from ground level, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it’s safe. It is useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
Getting a price
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know where you stand. Our price is from £150, including VAT. To book, call 07833 053749 or email us.

- A decision on your insurance claim
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

Storm damage roof reports around Willington
The wider area around Willington has a long history of building, with Stoneacre about 0.9 miles east. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St Martin's Church, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. If you run a business near The Mall Maidstone, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down. If you look after a building such as Senacre Wood Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Tips that help
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
For repair costs, ask a roofer to quote. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
Willington: your questions answered
Will you come out to Willington?
Yes, Willington is on our map. 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 Willington?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
It varies by policy. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but check your own wording.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Safely, from ground level or a window. Do not use a ladder or go onto the roof. Binoculars can help you see damage from below and we’ll inspect the rest from safe positions.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We are not loss adjusters, and we don’t negotiate claims. We provide an independent record of the roof for you to send to your insurer.
