Storm damage roof report in Wingham Well
Our storm damage report starts from £150. It is a written report with photos, sent by email. It is not a repair quote and does not include repair costs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. We’re often asked to look into loose or torn flashings and loose or broken chimney pots and cowls, on flat roofs, slate and tile slopes and chimney stacks.
In a village or hamlet like Wingham Well, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you are thinking of an insurance claim. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
With the Standard Survey, you also get 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
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit usually takes about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Older rural homes like those around Wingham Well can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- You let us know when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there is access.
- The damage is recorded with photos, area by area.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in

What happens if roof problems are left?
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. Emergency temporary protection should be arranged with a roofer. Outbuildings and barns around Wingham Well are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.

Different roofs, different checks

Wingham Well: your questions answered
Is Wingham Well in the area you cover?
Yes, Wingham Well is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Wingham Well?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. Repair costs aren’t included, so ask a roofer to quote.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
How long will you be at the property?
It usually takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. You will then get the report by email.

What else we do in Wingham Well
Before and after the survey
Getting the most from a storm damage roof report starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
Wind, rain and roofs in Wingham Well
Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. 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. Historic houses like Goodnestone Park, about 1.8 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Wingham Well goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wingham Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. For an older house near a landmark like St Mary's Church, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. Landlords with a home close to Adisham station may find that a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
