Storm damage roof report in Fuller Street: what you get
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Photograph the damage from ground level or a window, and never climb up. Emergency temporary protection, such as covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. We survey ridges and hips, gutters and fascias and flashings, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are flat roof edges peeled back and broken or displaced guttering.
Somewhere as small as Fuller Street, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. We look at what can safely be seen and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Questions from Fuller Street
Is Fuller Street within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Fuller Street?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is this an asbestos survey?
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.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We aren’t loss adjusters and don’t act for you with the insurer. We give you an independent report of the damage for you to send to your insurer.
Do you look in the loft space?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Practical tips
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- File receipts for anything you pay for
Once we’ve been, the findings are written up with photos. It covers the damage, its likely cause and any older defects. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
Keep records of roof work and surveys. They help show the roof was in good order before a storm.

Leaks and storm damage in Fuller Street
If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. Older buildings in Essex often have clay tiles and weatherboarding, alongside a good many post-war and newer estates. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
Landlords with a home close to White Notley station may find that a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Mary the Virgin, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

Different roofs, different checks
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles without fixings can move more easily in wind. We record what we can see of the fixings.
Lead flashings
Flashings with older defects often fail in high winds. Our report separates fresh damage from older wear where we can.

How the survey works
It’s useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Rural addresses near Fuller Street can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- 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 check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
