Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Wrotham
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. 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. Your insurer then decides how its policy applies. If you’ve noticed water coming in after the storm and lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Many homes in small places like Wrotham face open ground, 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 record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Leaks and storm damage in Wrotham
The wider area around Wrotham has a long history of building, with Old Soar Manor about 3.2 miles south. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Across Kent, older roofs are frequently handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. 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.
If you live near a park such as Trosley Country Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Wrotham School, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.

The survey usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. Somewhere like Wrotham needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
