Storm damage roof report in Aingers Green
Wear and tear is usually excluded from home insurance. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. Our report records both: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems such as corroded nails or worn mortar. We describe what we see, whichever way it points. Your insurer then decides how its policy applies. If you are worried about roofs hit by falling trees and slates and tiles blown off the roof, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Being in a small place like Aingers Green makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. It is useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Aingers Green roofs and the weather
Aingers Green lies within about 4 miles of the sea, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Strong wind lifts anything already loose, and driving rain gets in wherever it can. In Essex, older buildings are often clay-tiled, many with weatherboarding, while many towns grew with post-war and newer estates. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Mary, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. Take a building like Great Bentley Primary School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
Aingers Green is about 4 miles north-west of Clacton-on-Sea, in Essex. Roofs in Aingers Green get the same thorough look as anywhere else in Essex. Aingers Green is one of the places in Essex we cover. You can also see our page for Chelmsford.

Roof by roof
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.
Slate roofs
Slates often outlast the nails that hold them. The report records whether slipped slates look like storm damage or older wear.
How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photos, emailed to you. On timing, it usually takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Older rural homes like those around Aingers Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.

For landlords and managing agents
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget.
Common roof problems in Aingers Green
Roofs that were already worn are more likely to suffer in a storm. Nail fatigue, eroded ridge mortar and tired flashings can all fail in high winds. We record recent damage alongside older defects.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- New damp or leaks inside
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
Historic houses such as Thorpe Hall, about 4.1 miles east, show how far back building around Aingers Green goes. On older roofs nearby, leaks often trace back to lead flashings, valleys and gutters.

Why act early in Aingers Green
If a roofer needs to make the roof safe, take photos first if you can do so safely from the ground. That keeps a record of how it looked. In a small place like Aingers Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.

Aingers Green questions
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Aingers Green?
Places near the sea get more wind and more salt in the air than inland, and both are hard on roofs. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, while strong wind lifts anything already loose.
How do I find out if my home in Aingers Green is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is typically excluded from home insurance. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so you know what the roof shows. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
Do you look in the roof space?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
