Storm damage roof report in Woolage Village
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from ground level, from windows and higher points, from the loft space and from the roof where it is safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. If part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. We are often asked to look into slates and tiles blown off the roof and damage from fallen branches or debris, across ridges and hips, flat roofs and chimney stacks.
Somewhere as small as Woolage Village, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you are thinking of an insurance claim. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Woolage Village
Historic houses such as Goodnestone Park, about 2.8 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Woolage Village goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Older houses across Kent frequently 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. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
Landlords with a home close to Snowdown station may find that tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. If you live in an older home near Church of St Margaret, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

FAQs for Woolage Village
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Woolage Village?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you cover Woolage Village?
Yes, Woolage Village is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Only from ground level or from windows. Do not use a ladder or go onto the roof. Binoculars can help you see damage from below, and we will record the rest.
How long is the visit?
Expect it to take roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. The written report follows by email.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out with the most urgent first where relevant, which helps when budgeting.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.
