Storm damage roof report in Wye: what you get
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We’re not loss adjusters, and we cannot tell you whether a claim will succeed. Typical surveys look at water coming in after the storm and roofs hit by falling trees, across flashings, slate and tile slopes and gutters and fascias.
Many homes in small places like Wye face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. 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.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
After the visit, we write up the report with photographs of each area of damage. It covers the damage, its likely cause and any older defects. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Wye
Godinton House, about 4.8 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Wye. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Older houses across Kent frequently have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. You will also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
If you own a rental within reach of Wye station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. Take a building like Lady Joanna Thornhill Endowed Primary School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. If you run a business near County Square, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down.

Roof by roof
Chimney stacks
Flashings around stacks can lift in strong winds. We photograph any we find.
Flat roof coverings
Debris blown onto a flat roof can puncture the covering or block outlets. We record what we find.
How it works
We will ask a few questions first, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Older roofs in small places like Wye can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the loft space where it’s safe.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- Basic, Standard or Premium

- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Wye questions
Is Wye in the area you cover?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Wye is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is my home in Wye listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. Take photos from ground level first if it is safe. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
It depends on your policy. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Check your policy wording.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
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’ll inspect the rest from safe positions.
How long will you be at the property?
Most surveys take between one and two hours on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. We’ll confirm the timing when booking.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Wye
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Letting agents and landlords in Wye book surveys as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photographs, useful for planning maintenance.
Why act early in Wye
A few slipped slates can soon lead to wet timbers. Acting quickly normally means less damage overall. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Wye, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.
