Wilsley Green Storm Damage Roof Report
An independent record of roof damage after a storm across Wilsley Green, with drones and thermal imaging where they help. Call or email for a price.
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
What we do, step by step
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there is safe access. All told, expect about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In a small place like Wilsley Green, access is usually the main thing to plan. 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 the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the loft space where it is safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- The findings are written up with photos for you to share with your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Make sure pets are kept safely away

How a storm damage roof report works in Wilsley Green
After a storm, it helps to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. Our report shows the damage in photos and says whether it looks like storm damage, wear and tear, or a mix. We are not loss adjusters and can’t tell you if your claim will succeed. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. If you’ve noticed roofs hit by falling trees and damaged flat roof membrane, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Roofs in small places like Wilsley Green often stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Can I check my roof myself?
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Wilsley Green
When you claim, your insurer may ask for evidence of the damage and its cause. A written report with photos gives you something clear to pass on. Your insurer still makes the decision.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
The streets around a church such as Church of St Dunstan are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Wilsley Green
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. 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 will also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
Trees in and around Crane Valley shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Cranbrook Church of England Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

Tips that help
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. If that does not resolve it, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.

Questions from Wilsley Green
Do you carry out roof surveys in Wilsley Green?
Yes, Wilsley Green is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Wilsley Green as anywhere else.
How do I find out if my home in Wilsley Green is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. 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.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is usually excluded from home insurance. We note both storm damage and older defects, so it’s clear what we found. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Does someone need to be in?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when booking.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you as you book.
