Questions from Coxtie Green
Do you carry out roof surveys in Coxtie Green?
Yes, Coxtie Green is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Coxtie Green as anywhere else.
Will you come out to Coxtie Green?
Yes, Coxtie Green is covered. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How long does the survey take?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof, but most surveys take between one and two hours on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. The written report follows by email.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
Raise it with your insurer first. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that does not resolve it. The Ombudsman looks at whether there were storm conditions, whether the damage fits a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you as you book.
Storm damage roof report in Coxtie Green: what you get
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Falling branches can cause damage too. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. We survey gutters and fascias, chimney stacks and ridges and hips, and common reasons people get in touch are broken or displaced guttering and torn or lifted flat roof coverings.
For a small place like Coxtie Green, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It’s useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photograph. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

What else we do in Coxtie Green
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Coxtie Green?
Some people book because a claim has been questioned. You get an independent record of what the roof shows. We cannot say whether the decision will change.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
If you own a rental within reach of Brentwood station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
Before booking anyone

- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Roof area
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
What we need to know
There is no need for technical words. It’s enough to tell us:
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- The address and postcode of the property
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. You will have your own independent record to refer to.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Coxtie Green
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf. Access is agreed with the tenant beforehand.
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 when budgeting.
What we cannot see
Before you book, it’s worth knowing what a survey won’t do:
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
- Estimates of repair costs
- Areas we cannot see safely

Storm damage roof reports in Coxtie Green: local notes
With Hare Hall about 4.3 miles south-west, Coxtie Green sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. In Essex, older buildings are often 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.
Take an older house close to Trinity Church: the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. If you live near a park like Weald Country Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys.

How it works
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. All told, expect about 1–2 hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Cottages and farmhouses around Coxtie Green often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the roof space where it is safe.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets in another room
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
