Common roof problems in Rose Green
When you claim, your insurer may ask for evidence of the damage and its cause. An independent report gives you a clear record to send. The decision still rests with the insurer.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Loose or torn flashings
- Water coming in after the storm
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Barnabas, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Their report turnaround times
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Rose Green
After a storm, safety comes first. Take photos from the ground or from windows, and don’t climb onto the roof. Emergency temporary protection, like covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. We survey ridges and hips, slate and tile slopes and gutters and fascias, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where slates or tiles have gone and flat roof edges peeled back.
Being in a small place like Rose Green makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Honest limits
It helps to know what a survey will not do before booking:
- Your insurer’s view of the claim
- Negotiating a claim settlement
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up

Roofs we survey in Rose Green
- Flashings
- Ridges and hips
- Slate and tile slopes
- Gutters and fascias
- Chimney stacks
- Flat roofs
Different roofs, different checks
Chimney stacks
Older stacks with worn pointing or cracked flaunching are more likely to suffer. Our report notes recent damage and older defects.
Slate roofs
Slates often outlast the nails that hold them. We check whether slipped slates suggest storm damage, older wear or both.
What affects the price in Rose Green
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 with VAT included. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical words. Just tell us:
- What’s prompted the survey
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
We survey roofs seven days a week. To find a date that works for you, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Wind, rain and roofs in Rose Green
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. Older buildings in Essex often have clay tiles and weatherboarding, while many towns grew with post-war and newer estates. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
Anyone responsible for a site like Chappel Church of England Controlled Primary 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. Landlords with a home close to Chappel & Wakes Colne station may find that a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away.

How the survey works
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos, sent to you by email. As for time on site, most surveys take between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. For a village or hamlet like Rose Green, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We look at the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Before the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
Arrange a survey
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email, let us know about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.

Common questions in Rose Green
How do I find out if my home in Rose Green is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you cover smaller places like Rose Green?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
We cannot say whether a claim will be paid. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
Do you look in the roof space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Stay off the roof. Take photos from ground level or from windows. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
How are storm damage reports priced?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. The report does not include repair costs.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.

What else we do in Rose Green
Can I check my roof myself?
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
