Storm damage roof report in Brook Street: what you get
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. If you’ve noticed damaged gutters and fascias and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind, we can find out what’s behind it, on gutters and fascias, ridges and hips and chimney stacks alike.
Being in a small place like Brook Street makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Let us know 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.
After the visit, you get a report with photos, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What does a storm damage report cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Larger or more complex roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs are not included, so ask a roofer to quote.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It depends on your policy. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Check your policy wording.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
Wind, rain and roofs in Brook Street
About 3.2 miles south-west lies Hare Hall, a reminder of how long the area around Brook Street has been built on. If you own one of the older houses, 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. Older buildings in Essex often have clay tiles and weatherboarding, with post-war and more recent estates making up much of the newer housing. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
If you live near a park like Weald Country Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. If you look after a building such as Holly Trees Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

The survey, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect what can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey usually takes about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Somewhere like Brook Street needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We check the roof from wherever it is safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Before the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
Getting a price
You can call us seven days a week. To book or ask a question, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Brook Street
Strong winds lift loose or poorly fixed slates and tiles, ridge pieces and flashings. Driving rain then gets in through the gaps. Most people book a report soon after a storm, when they’ve seen damage or water has come in.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Loose or torn flashings
The streets around a church like Church of St Peter are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.
