Roundbush Green Storm Damage Roof Report
Get a clear view of the roof at a property in Roundbush Green from an independent roof surveyor. Visits run on weekdays and weekends, in the daytime.
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
Checking the roof from the ground
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
You can learn a lot from ground level. 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.
Storm damage roof report in Roundbush Green
High winds usually affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. We survey ridges and hips, slate and tile slopes and flashings, and people most frequently book us about stains appearing after strong winds and slipped or missing slates or tiles.
Many homes in small places like Roundbush 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, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Roundbush 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. Your insurer still makes the decision.
We’re frequently asked to look at:
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
The streets around a church such as Parish Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
Storm damage roof reports around Roundbush Green
About 3.1 miles north-west lies Barrington Hall, a reminder of how long the area around Roundbush 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. Older buildings in Essex often have clay tiles and weatherboarding, with post-war and more recent estates making up much of the newer housing. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
Anyone responsible for a site like Rodings Primary School will know that tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

Questions from Roundbush Green
Is Roundbush Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Roundbush Green is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Is my home in Roundbush Green listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Larger or more complex roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs aren’t included, so ask a roofer to quote.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
That’s not something we can promise. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
What affects the price in Roundbush Green
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The size of the roof
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the roof. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.
What we need to know
A little information up front helps. It helps to include:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We will talk you through the options and what they cost.
The survey, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It normally takes about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Somewhere as small as Roundbush Green, access is often 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 note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Keep pets in another room
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
