Storm damage roof report in Mundon
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. Our report shows the damage in photos and says whether it looks like storm damage, wear and tear, or a mix. We aren’t loss adjusters, and we can’t say whether a claim will be paid. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. If you’ve noticed water coming in after the storm and ridge tiles that have come loose, we can find out what’s behind it.
Being in a small place like Mundon makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. 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.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

DIY checks: what’s safe
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
When to book a survey in Mundon
Branches and trees often come down on roofs during storms. The report shows what was hit and the damage caused, backed up with photos.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Loose or torn flashings
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Water coming in after the storm
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
For landlords with property near North Fambridge station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Their track record with similar roofs
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- What the survey won’t cover
For landlords and managing agents
Letting agents and landlords in Mundon book surveys as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photographs, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out in order of urgency where relevant, which helps with budgets and planning.
Roof by roof
Slate roofs
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, but the nails often fail first. The report records whether slipped slates look like storm damage or older wear.
Ridge and hip tiles
Water can get in where ridge tiles have moved. We photograph and describe the damage.
Practical tips
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. You will have your own independent record to refer to.
Store invoices and reports for any roof work. They help show the roof was in good order before a storm.
Storm damage roof reports around Mundon
The coast is about 2 miles or less from Mundon, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Strong wind lifts anything already loose, and driving rain gets in wherever it can, while salt slowly corrodes metal fixings and flashings. Clay tiles and timber weatherboarding mark out many of the older buildings in Essex, while many towns grew with post-war and newer estates. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
Take an older house close to St Mary's Church: lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

Common questions in Mundon
How do I find out if my home in Mundon is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Mundon, take more of a battering?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there’s more wind, and more salt in the air. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it typically shows.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Our reports start from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. The report does not include repair costs.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.

What we do, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey typically takes an hour or two at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. Rural addresses near Mundon can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- 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 ground level, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Getting ready for the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
