How a storm damage roof report works in Goose Green
We inspect the roof from wherever it can safely be seen: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there is access, and the roof itself where that’s safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. If part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. We survey ridges and hips, chimney stacks and flat roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are damaged ridges and hips and slates and tiles blown off the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Goose Green, older cottages and farmhouses frequently have roofs that have been patched over many years. 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 whatever is safely visible 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.
The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Questions from Goose Green
Is Goose Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Goose Green is covered. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is my home in Goose Green listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. Repair costs aren’t included, so ask a roofer to quote.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed as you book.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We’re not loss adjusters, and we don’t negotiate claims. We provide an independent record of the roof, which you can pass to your insurer.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Goose Green
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. The decision still rests with the insurer.
Look out for signs like these:
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
If you own a rental within reach of Broxbourne station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

The survey, step by step
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Around Goose Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- 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 loft space where it’s safe.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- The findings are written up with photographs for you to share with your insurer.
Before the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

Leaks and storm damage in Goose Green
Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand.
Living close to Barclay Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. Take a building like Westfield Community Primary School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

Tips from our surveys
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Photograph damage inside the house too
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. You will have your own independent record to refer to.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
For landlords and managing agents
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photos included.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
