Storm damage roof report in Seawick
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It is not a repair quote and doesn’t include repair costs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. We survey chimney stacks, ridges and hips and flashings, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged gutters and fascias and water coming in after the storm.
For a small place like Seawick, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. 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.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

What happens on the day
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, from ground level, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where applicable. The survey typically takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In a small place like Seawick, access is usually the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photographs.

Different roofs, different checks
Slate roofs
Broken slates and slates that have slid out of place are common after a storm. Each area is photographed and described.
Flat roof coverings
Debris blown onto a flat roof can puncture the covering or block outlets. We record what we find.
What a survey costs
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Building height and the viewpoints available
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. You will know the price for your roof before booking.
Getting in touch
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form whenever suits you.
Why act early in Seawick
With an independent report, you have something specific to show your insurer. It records the damage and what seems to have caused it, so you’re not relying only on your own photos. For older village homes like those around Seawick, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT.
Why book us in Seawick
- More than 5,000 surveys completed
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Surveys seven days a week

Questions from Seawick
How do I find out if my home in Seawick is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you cover smaller places like Seawick?
Yes, Seawick is covered. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. Our report then records the roof.
What if the roof was already worn?
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. We note both storm damage and older defects, so you know what the roof shows. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We are not loss adjusters and don’t act for you with the insurer. We provide an independent record of the roof for you to send to your insurer.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It varies by policy. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but your policy sets the actual test.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. Repair costs are not included, so ask a roofer to quote.

Wind, rain and roofs in Seawick
Seawick is within about 1 mile of the coast, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. In a coastal gale, rain is driven sideways into laps, verges and flashings. Older buildings in Essex frequently have clay tiles and weatherboarding, while many towns grew with post-war and newer estates. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
For landlords with property near Clacton-On-Sea station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. If you look after a building like Tendring Enterprise Studio School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
