Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Bedlar's Green
Our storm damage report starts from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It does not price the repairs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for that. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. If you are worried about loose or broken chimney pots and cowls and lead lifted at abutments, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flashings, ridges and hips and chimney stacks alike.
Being in a small place like Bedlar's 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 helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Wind, rain and roofs in Bedlar's Green
With Barrington Hall about 2.3 miles south-east, Bedlar's Green sits in an area with a long building history. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Clay tiles and timber weatherboarding mark out many of the older buildings in Essex, and lots of post-war and modern estates besides. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
If you look after a building such as Birchwood High School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. If you let a flat or house near Bishops Stortford station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Giles, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

Practical tips
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. You’ll have your own independent record to refer to.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
For landlords and managing agents
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Tell us about it when booking and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
FAQs for Bedlar's Green
Do you cover Bedlar's Green?
Yes, Bedlar's Green is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property.
Is my home in Bedlar's Green listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a 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.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. Our report then records the roof.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
Each policy has its own definition. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but check your own wording.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Please don’t climb onto the roof. Take photos from ground level or from windows. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Once the storm has passed, damage that looked minor can let water in for months. Getting it recorded and repaired sooner is usually better. Outbuildings and barns around Bedlar's Green are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included.
