How a storm damage roof report works in Womenswold
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. 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. We survey slate and tile slopes, chimney stacks and flat roofs, and people most frequently book us about stains appearing after strong winds and gutters pulled loose in the wind.
Being in a small place like Womenswold makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned in advance. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photo. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Prices for storm damage roof reports in Womenswold
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The shape of the roof and its details
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
What to tell us when you contact us
What helps most when you contact us:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
We survey roofs seven days a week. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.
How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roof coverings
Edge trims and laps are often where flat roof coverings start to peel back. The report notes signs of recent damage and older wear.
Chimney stacks
High winds can loosen pots, cowls and aerials on stacks. We record any damage we can see.
Checking the roof from ground level
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.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, a roof survey has limits:
- Estimates of repair costs
- Your insurer’s view of the claim
- Areas we can’t see safely
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

Leaks and storm damage in Womenswold
Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. Goodnestone Park, about 2.8 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Womenswold. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
Take an older house close to Church of St Margaret: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. If you let a flat or house near Snowdown station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
Womenswold is about 7 miles south-east of Canterbury, in Kent. We provide storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Womenswold and the surrounding area. We cover towns and villages across Kent. There’s also a page for Canterbury.

Leave it or get it looked at?
If a roofer needs to make the roof safe, take photos first if you can do so safely from ground level. Those photos show the damage as it was. Older and listed buildings around Womenswold may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Our price is 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.

Common questions in Womenswold
Is Womenswold in the area you cover?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Womenswold is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is Womenswold within the area you cover?
Yes, Womenswold is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. Take photos from ground level first if it is safe. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Complain to your insurer first. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, though we cannot predict the outcome.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Stay off the roof. Take photos from the ground or from windows. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
How long is the visit?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof; most visits take an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The written report follows by email.
What happens on the day
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes between one and two hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Somewhere as small as Womenswold, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We look at the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

How to book
