What happens if roof problems are left?
Leaving storm damage can let water into the roof space and rooms below. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. Around Horsemere Green, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.

Storm damage roof report in Horsemere Green: what you get
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We’re not loss adjusters and cannot tell you if your claim will succeed. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. Typical surveys look at gaps where slates or tiles have gone and stains appearing after strong winds, on ridges and hips, gutters and fascias and slate and tile slopes.
For a small place like Horsemere Green, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Storm damage roof reports in Horsemere Green: local notes
Horsemere Green is within about 1 mile of the coast, so storms can arrive with strong gusts off the water. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies, and the insurer decides the claim. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like St Mary's CofE Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. If you own a rental within reach of Ford station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

Questions from Horsemere Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Horsemere Green?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is the coastal weather around Horsemere Green hard on roofs?
Generally, yes: wind and salt air take more of a toll near the sea. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it typically shows, and Horsemere Green is within about 1 mile of the coast.
How do I book a survey in Horsemere Green?
Simply call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
How long is the visit?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof, but most surveys take between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so you know what the roof shows. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Horsemere Green?
Landlords and building managers often need a written record after a storm. The report can be shared with owners, tenants or insurers.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Loose or torn flashings
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Roofs hit by falling trees
For an older house near a landmark like The Parish Church of St Mary, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- What the survey will not cover
- Their track record with similar roofs
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos

How the survey works
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. In a small place like Horsemere Green, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking near the property
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
