Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Bentfield Green
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. It sets out what is damaged, with photos, and what we think the likely cause is. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We aren’t loss adjusters and can’t say whether a claim will be paid. If you’ve noticed damage from fallen branches or debris and slates and tiles blown off the roof, we can find out what’s behind it, on flashings, flat roofs and slate and tile slopes alike.
Being in a small place like Bentfield Green makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
The written findings come 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.

Common questions in Bentfield Green
Is my home in Bentfield Green listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Will you come out to Bentfield Green?
Yes, Bentfield Green is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the survey around it.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
How long does the survey take?
It normally takes about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The written report follows by email.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It varies by policy. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but your policy sets the actual test.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Bentfield Green
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Bentfield Green. For a price for a let property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed beforehand. We survey seven days a week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Storm damage roof reports around Bentfield Green
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing. Clay tiles and timber weatherboarding mark out many of the older buildings in Essex, alongside lots of 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.
The streets around a church such as Church of St John the Evangelist are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. If you look after a building such as Bentfield Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. If you let a flat or house near Stansted Mountfitchet station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
Bentfield Green is about 1 mile north-west of Stansted Mountfitchet, in Essex. We survey roofs in Bentfield Green and the surrounding area as part of our work across London and the South East.

Around Bentfield Green
We work in homes and buildings around Bell And Feathers Inn and Forest Hall School and the streets around them. The closest station to Bentfield Green is Stansted Mountfitchet station, about 0.7 miles south-east of the centre.

How the survey works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, from ground level, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where it applies. The survey typically takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Older rural homes like those around Bentfield 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.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there is access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
How to prepare
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
Booking a survey
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.

What affects the price in Bentfield Green
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Height and safe access
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.
Getting in touch
We will typically ask about:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Anything about access we should know
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- What kind of property and roof it is
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Different roofs, different checks
Chimney stacks
High winds can loosen pots, cowls and aerials on stacks. We record any damage we can see.
Ridge and hip tiles
Water can get in where ridge tiles have moved. Each one is recorded with photos.
What we cannot see
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- The outcome of a claim
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and does not.
