Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Cornish Hall End
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We’re not loss adjusters, and we cannot tell you whether a claim will succeed. We survey flat roofs, flashings and gutters and fascias, and common reasons people get in touch are roofs hit by falling trees and slipped or missing slates or tiles.
Roofs in small places like Cornish Hall End frequently 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.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
We confirm the exact price before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Which survey package you book
- The roof’s overall size
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
What to tell us when you contact us
When you call or email, these details help:
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email when you are ready.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.

What else we do in Cornish Hall End
Cornish Hall End roofs and the weather
In Essex, older buildings are frequently clay-tiled, many with weatherboarding, while many towns grew with post-war and newer estates. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near St John the Evangelist Church, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Cornish Hall End?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we will point you to the right survey. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll explain what’s needed.
How long does the survey take?
It usually takes an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. We will confirm the timing as you book.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
How it works
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. For a village or hamlet like Cornish Hall End, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Before the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Check pets are kept safely away
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed

Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. The price is agreed before a date is set.
