Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Feering
Wear and tear is usually excluded from home insurance. So it matters whether the damage came from the storm or from a roof that was already worn. We note signs of each: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems such as corroded nails or worn mortar. We give an honest view of what we see. Your insurer then decides how its policy applies. We survey flashings, ridges and hips and gutters and fascias, and common reasons people get in touch are water coming in after the storm and torn or lifted flat roof coverings.
Many homes in small places like Feering face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

Questions from Feering
Is my home in Feering listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you cover smaller places like Feering?
Yes, Feering is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Insurers normally exclude wear and tear. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. Your insurer decides the claim.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Stay off the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do you look in the roof space?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Leave it or get it looked at?
If the damage is partly wear and tear, it’s better to know. Our report gives an honest view of both, so there are no surprises later. Outbuildings and barns around Feering are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both including VAT. You will know the exact price before booking.

Tips from our surveys
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
You’ll need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. They can use our report to see what needs doing.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. They can damage the roof in high winds.
When to book a survey in Feering
When you claim, your insurer may ask for evidence of the damage and its cause. An independent report gives you a clear record to send. Your insurer still makes the decision.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- New damp or leaks inside
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Damaged ridges and hips
Homes near green spaces like Brockwell Meadows can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Is VAT included in the price?
- How soon the report will arrive
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- What follow-up you get after the report

What else we do in Feering
What we do, step by step
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. In total, it takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In a hamlet or village like Feering, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
How to prepare
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared

Storm damage roof reports in Feering: local notes
With Layer Marney Tower about 3.8 miles south-east, Feering sits in an area with a long building history. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Weatherboarded walls and clay tile roofs are typical of older Essex buildings, and lots of post-war and modern estates besides. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Parish Church of All Saints, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. If you let a flat or house near Kelvedon station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
