How a storm damage roof report works in Mulberry Green
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there’s access, and the roof itself where that is safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. If part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. If you’ve noticed lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and damaged gutters and fascias, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Being in a small place like Mulberry Green makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
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, like when you want to compare after future work.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Mulberry Green
Do you carry out roof surveys in Mulberry Green?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, and Mulberry Green is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in Mulberry Green is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Start by complaining to the insurer. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that does not resolve it. The Ombudsman looks at whether there were storm conditions, whether the damage fits a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
That is not something we can promise. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we’ll agree the details as you book.
How the survey works
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the roof space if there is safe access. In total, it takes between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Older rural homes like those around Mulberry Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We view the roof from wherever it can be seen safely, including the loft where there’s access.
- The damage is recorded with photos, area by area.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- The findings are written up with photographs for you to share with your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
How to book
When you are ready to go ahead, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date.

What happens if roof problems are left?
A clear, independent record helps you explain the damage to your insurer. It records the damage and what seems to have caused it, so you are not relying only on your own photos. In a small place like Mulberry Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, which starts from £400, inc. VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.
Why choose Independent Roof Survey in Mulberry Green

Practical tips
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Never climb onto the roof yourself.

Can I check my roof myself?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
Leaks and storm damage in Mulberry Green
Older buildings in Essex frequently 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. About 2.8 miles south lies Layer Marney Tower, a reminder of how long the area around Mulberry 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 a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Anyone responsible for a site like The Stanway School will know that water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Mary, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.
