Broad Street Green Storm Damage Roof Report
An independent record of roof damage after a storm in Broad Street Green, with drones and thermal imaging where they help. Call or email for a price.
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Loose or torn flashings
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
What a survey costs
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The size of the roof
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Getting in touch
We’ll usually ask about:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and give us a few details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Storm damage roof report in Broad Street Green: what you get
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from ground level, from windows and higher points, from the roof space and from the roof where it is safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. We note any part we couldn’t see. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. Typical surveys look at lead lifted at abutments and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind, on chimney stacks, gutters and fascias and slate and tile slopes.
In a village or hamlet like Broad Street Green, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

FAQs for Broad Street Green
Do you cover smaller places like Broad Street Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is my home in Broad Street Green listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is not typically covered. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
How long is the visit?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof, but most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. The report is sent afterwards by email.

Storm damage roof reports around Broad Street Green
The coast is about 3 miles or less from Broad Street Green, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Driving rain off the sea can be pushed into gaps that stay dry in calmer weather, while salt slowly corrodes metal fixings and flashings. 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 check with the council.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Heybridge Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. Hotels and guest houses near Broad Street Green can’t easily close rooms for a leak, so it’s worth knowing the roof’s condition. Landlords with a home close to Witham station may find that tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

What we do, step by step
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Older roofs in small places like Broad Street Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- 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.

Related advice
Landlords, agents and block managers in Broad Street Green
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
Checking the roof from ground level
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Useful tips for Broad Street Green property owners
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Photograph damage inside the house too
For repair costs, ask a roofer to quote. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. They can damage the roof in high winds.
Different roofs, different checks
Slate roofs
In high winds, slates can slip or go, often where nails have rusted. We record which slates have moved and any signs of older nail fatigue.
Flat roof coverings
Wind can lift the edges of flat roof coverings or tear them. We record any damage and where it is.
