Storm damage roof report in Nevendon: what you get
What counts as a storm depends on your policy, though many use gusts of about 55 mph. Check your own policy wording. We don’t decide whether a storm met that test. We record the damage and what seems to have caused it. The report includes photographs of each area of damage, and you decide what to send. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We’re frequently asked to look into damaged gutters and fascias and flat roof edges peeled back, across ridges and hips, slate and tile slopes and chimney stacks.
Many homes in small places like Nevendon face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Nevendon roofs and the weather
Weatherboarded walls and clay tile roofs are typical of older Essex buildings, and lots of post-war and modern estates besides. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. 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, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
If you run a business near Eastgate Shopping Centre, water through a ceiling can damage stock and close a sales floor, so the source needs finding fast. If you own a rental within reach of Wickford station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

How it works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Cottages and farmhouses around Nevendon often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

What else we do in Nevendon
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Nevendon
Some people book because a claim has been questioned. You get an independent record of what the roof shows. What happens next is up to the insurer.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
The streets around a church like Church of All Saints are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

Questions from Nevendon
How do I find out if my home in Nevendon is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Will you come out to Nevendon?
Yes, Nevendon is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We are 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.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. We record the damage, with photos and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Before and after the survey
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Check how your policy defines a storm
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. After that, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
