Storm damage roof report in Loves Green
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It doesn’t price the repairs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. We survey flashings, ridges and hips and gutters and fascias, and people most often book us about gaps where slates or tiles have gone and roofs hit by falling trees.
Many homes in small places like Loves Green face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Loves Green roofs and the weather
Weatherboarded walls and clay tile roofs are typical of older Essex buildings, and a good many post-war and modern estates besides. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. About 2.8 miles east lies Hylands, a reminder of how long the area around Loves Green has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Take a building like Highwood Primary School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. Landlords with a home close to Ingatestone station may find that a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. If you live in an older home near St Paul's Church, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

Common questions in Loves Green
Do you carry out roof surveys in Loves Green?
Yes, Loves Green is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Loves Green as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Loves Green?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Safely, from the ground or a window. Don’t use a ladder or go onto the roof. With binoculars, you can see a lot from the ground, and we will record the rest.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. Repair costs are not included, so ask a roofer to quote.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We’re not loss adjusters, and we do not negotiate claims. We provide an independent record of the roof for you to send to your insurer.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when booking.
For landlords and managing agents
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out in order of urgency where relevant.
Letting agents frequently book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.
Different roofs, different checks
Slate roofs
Slates frequently outlast the nails that hold them. The report records whether slipped slates look like storm damage or older wear.
Chimney stacks
Flashings around stacks can lift in strong winds. Loose flashings are recorded.
What a survey costs
To price your survey, we look at:
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
What we need to know
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It is useful to include:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
Our phone lines are open seven days a week. For a price or to book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Tips that help
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
The report is emailed to you, and you decide what to send to your insurer. We don’t deal with the insurer on your behalf.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
DIY checks: what’s safe
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.

How it works
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings as a report with photos, emailed to you. On timing, it normally takes about one to two hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Somewhere as small as Loves Green, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
