Storm Damage Roof Report in Bury Green
An experienced roof surveyor for storm damage roof reports in Bury Green. More than 20 years and over 5,000 surveys.
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Damaged flat roof membrane
Should I look at the roof myself first?
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.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.
Storm damage roof report in Bury Green: what you get
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It doesn’t price the repairs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for that. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. We are often asked to look into loose or torn flashings and loose or broken chimney pots and cowls, on flashings, slate and tile slopes and chimney stacks.
Many homes in small places like Bury Green face open ground, 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 written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Common questions in Bury Green
How do I find out if my home in Bury 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 is worth checking before planning any.
Will you come out to Bury Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
How long is the visit?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. The written report follows by email.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you get in touch and we will explain what’s needed.
How do I book a survey in Bury Green?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. Take photos from ground level first if it’s safe. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
How it works
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings as a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. As for time on site, most surveys take between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Somewhere like Bury Green 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’s safe.
- 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.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
How to prepare
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
How to book
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Bury Green
Storms do not only affect pitched roofs. Coverings can tear or peel back at the edges, and water can pond where outlets are blocked. Our report covers flat and pitched roofs.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
Take an older house close to Parish Church of St Cecilia: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Are they insured for the work?

What else we do in Bury Green
Wind, rain and roofs in Bury Green
With Much Hadham Palace about 1.5 miles south-west, Bury Green sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Little Hadham Primary School, a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside. For landlords with property near Bishops Stortford station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
Bury Green is about 2 miles west of Bishop's Stortford, in Hertfordshire. From houses to flats and shops in Bury Green, we can survey the roof on a weekday or at the weekend. Across Hertfordshire, we cover Bury Green and the places around it. We also survey roofs in Chelmsford.

Landmarks near Bury Green

Leave it or get it looked at?
A few slipped slates can soon lead to wet timbers. Getting it recorded and repaired sooner is normally better. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
What you get with us
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help

Different roofs, different checks
Chimney stacks
Stacks with existing defects tend to suffer more in storms. Our report notes recent damage and older defects.
Clay and concrete tiles
Older tiles held only by nibs, without nails or clips, can lift more easily. We record what we can see of the fixings.
Tips that help
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Photograph damage inside the house too
If you are unhappy with how your insurer handles the claim, you can complain to them first. If that does not resolve it, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
