Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Creeksea
Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies by policy. Your policy document sets out its own definition. We do not decide whether a storm met that test. We record the damage and what seems to have caused it. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. If you’ve noticed stains appearing after strong winds and roofs hit by falling trees, we can find out what’s behind it.
Many homes in small places like Creeksea face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Creeksea questions
Is my home in Creeksea 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. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Creeksea?
Generally, yes: wind and salt air take more of a toll near the sea. Exposed details like ridges, verges, flashings and metal fixings are the ones to watch, and Creeksea is within about 5 miles of the coast.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
What’s the best way to book?
It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. We survey seven days a week.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we will agree the details when booking.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
What do I do if water is coming in?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. If it’s safe, take photos before it goes on. Our report then records the roof.
How it works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. Most surveys take an hour or two for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Around Creeksea, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before we arrive
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
Getting a price
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email to find out.
Advice
What we look for on each type of roof
Lead flashings
Flashings can lift or pull away from walls and chimneys in strong winds. We record which are loose or damaged.
Slate roofs
After strong winds, we frequently see cracked and slipped slates. Each area is photographed and described.
Why act early in Creeksea
Before temporary repairs, photograph the damage from ground level if it’s safe. Those photos show the damage as it was. For older village homes like those around Creeksea, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Why us?

What to tell us when you contact us

Leaks and storm damage in Creeksea
Creeksea is within about 5 miles of the coast, so storms can arrive with strong gusts off the water. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording, and many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, though it varies. Weatherboarded walls and clay tile roofs are typical of older Essex buildings, alongside lots of post-war and newer estates. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
Landlords with a home close to Burnham-On-Crouch station may find that finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. If you run a hotel or guest house in or near Creeksea, a roof problem can mean rooms out of use. If you look after a building such as Ormiston Rivers Academy, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
