How a storm damage roof report works in Cutlers Green
High winds typically affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. 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. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. We are often asked to look into loose or torn flashings and damaged pots on the stack, on flashings, gutters and fascias and chimney stacks.
Somewhere as small as Cutlers Green, older roofs have often been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Cutlers Green?
A storm often finds a roof’s existing weak spots. Corroded nails on slate roofs, worn mortar on ridges and old flashings can all give way. Our report notes both the storm damage and any older wear.
Problems we come across often include:
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- New damp or leaks inside
If you let a flat or house near Elsenham station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
Checking the roof from ground level
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in.
How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roof coverings
Wind can lift the edges of flat roof coverings or tear them. Damage is photographed and described.
Clay and concrete tiles
Strong gusts can lift and break tiles. The report shows each damaged area.
Leaks and storm damage in Cutlers Green
Older buildings in Essex often have clay tiles and weatherboarding, with post-war and more recent estates making up much of the newer housing. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. Historic houses such as Horham Hall, about 1 mile south-west, show how far back building in the area around Cutlers Green goes. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
Anyone responsible for a site like Thaxted Primary School will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St John the Baptist, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

Questions from Cutlers Green
Do you cover smaller places like Cutlers Green?
Yes, Cutlers Green is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Cutlers Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Cutlers Green is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. It doesn’t include repair costs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for those.
How many surveys have you done?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Safely, from ground level or a window. Do not use a ladder or go onto the roof. Binoculars can help you see damage from below and we will inspect the rest from safe positions.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
It varies by policy. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but check your own wording.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The roof space can show things the outside cannot, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.

Landlords and agents in Cutlers Green book surveys as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photos, useful for planning maintenance.
How it works
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. All in, the survey typically takes an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Older roofs in small places like Cutlers Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Preparing for the visit
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
