About our storm damage roof report in Woodside Green
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. So it matters whether the damage came from the storm or from a roof that was already worn. We note signs of each: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems like corroded nails or worn mortar. We describe what we see, whichever way it points. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. Typical surveys look at lead lifted at abutments and slates and tiles blown off the roof, across slate and tile slopes, gutters and fascias and chimney stacks.
Roofs in small places like Woodside Green frequently stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Questions from Woodside Green
How do I find out if my home in Woodside Green is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you cover smaller places like Woodside Green?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Raise it with your insurer first. If it is not resolved, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help. The Ombudsman asks about storm conditions, whether the damage is consistent with a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We are not loss adjusters, and we don’t negotiate claims. We give you an independent report of the damage, which you can pass to your insurer.
How the survey changes by roof type
Chimney stacks
Pots, cowls and aerials on chimneys can be damaged or dislodged in a storm. We record any damage we can see.
Ridge and hip tiles
Worn mortar under ridge tiles can let them lift in a storm. Our report says whether it looks freshly damaged or worn over time.
Why it is worth a survey now in Woodside Green
Many policies expect damage to be reported promptly. Let your insurer know early, and check what your policy asks for. Our report can then add a clear record. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Woodside Green, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
Why choose Independent Roof Survey in Woodside Green
- Plain-English reports with photos
- We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed

How it works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Rural addresses near Woodside Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Before the survey
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
Booking a survey
Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Wind, rain and roofs in Woodside Green
Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. Leeds Castle, about 4.3 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Woodside Green. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Living close to Kiln Wood is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. If you look after a building such as The Lenham School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. For an older house near a landmark like St Mary's Church, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

Tips that help
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
Questions about the findings are always welcome. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
