About our storm damage roof report in Bridge Green
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. It sets out what is damaged, with photographs, 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 are not loss adjusters, and we cannot tell you whether a claim will succeed. If you’re worried about flat roof edges peeled back and slates and tiles blown off the roof, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Roofs in small places like Bridge Green often stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Bridge Green
Storms don’t only affect pitched roofs. Coverings can tear or peel back at the edges, and water can pond where outlets are blocked. We record what we find on flat and pitched roofs alike.
People normally book a survey when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Loose or torn flashings
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
Landlords with a home close to Audley End station may find that tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
Before booking anyone
- What experience they bring
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- What happens after the report arrives
Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from a storm damage roof report starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
Store invoices and reports for any roof work. They can help show the roof was looked after.
Storm damage roof reports around Bridge Green
In Essex, older buildings are frequently clay-tiled, many with weatherboarding, alongside lots of post-war and newer estates. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. Historic houses such as Audley End House, about 3.8 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Bridge Green goes. 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.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near The Hamlet Church, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

What we look for on each type of roof
Lead flashings
Flashings with older defects frequently fail in high winds. Our report separates fresh damage from older wear where we can.
Ridge and hip tiles
Ridge tiles bedded in old mortar can loosen in high winds. We note whether the mortar looks recently broken or long worn.
Common questions in Bridge Green
Is Bridge Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Bridge Green is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
How do I find out if my home in Bridge Green is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
It varies by policy. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but your policy sets the actual test.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
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. With binoculars, you can see a lot from ground level, and we will record the rest.
Is this an asbestos survey?
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.
