- A decision on your insurance claim

How a storm damage roof report works in Beauchamp Roding
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. 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 give an honest view of what we see. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. We survey ridges and hips, chimney stacks and flashings, and people most often book us about broken or displaced guttering and slates and tiles blown off the roof.
Being in a small place like Beauchamp Roding makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned in advance. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed 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. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

How the survey works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Somewhere as small as Beauchamp Roding, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- 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 we arrive
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Check pets are kept safely away
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in

A storm frequently finds a roof’s existing weak spots. Corroded nails on slate roofs, worn mortar on ridges and old flashings can all give way. Our report notes both the storm damage and any older wear.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
For any home in Beauchamp Roding, it’s the small, early fault that is cheapest to put right.

FAQs for Beauchamp Roding
Is Beauchamp Roding in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Beauchamp Roding as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will you come out to Beauchamp Roding?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Only from ground level or from windows. Don’t use a ladder or go onto the roof. With binoculars, you can see a lot from the ground and we’ll inspect the rest from safe positions.
What if the roof was already worn?
Wear and tear is not normally covered. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. Your insurer decides the claim.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Tell us about it when booking and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
There is no single figure. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Your policy document will say.
Checking the roof from the ground
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Leaks and storm damage in Beauchamp Roding
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask. Weatherboarded walls and clay tile roofs are typical of older Essex buildings, and plenty of post-war and modern estates besides. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
Take an older house close to Church of St Botolph Beauchamp Roding: lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.
