About our storm damage roof report in Sibley's Green
After a storm, safety comes first. Take photos from the ground or from windows, and don’t climb onto the roof. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. We survey flat roofs, chimney stacks and ridges and hips, and people most frequently book us about gaps where slates or tiles have gone and damaged flat roof membrane.
Being in a small place like Sibley's Green makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. It’s useful 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.
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, and recommendations are put by urgency where it matters.

Roof by roof
Flat roof coverings
On flat roofs, storms can lift edges and tear membranes. Damage is photographed and described.
Chimney stacks
Flashings around stacks can lift in strong winds. We photograph any we find.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Knowing whether older wear played a part helps you understand your position. We record storm damage and older defects, so there are no surprises later. In a place like Sibley's Green, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 with VAT included. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.

DIY checks: what’s safe
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
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.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Sibley's Green
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey on any day of the week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Larger roofs take longer.
Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
Questions about the findings are always welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.

Advice
Storm damage roof reports around Sibley's Green
Older buildings in Essex often have clay tiles and weatherboarding, and lots of post-war and modern estates besides. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. Historic houses such as Horham Hall, about 1.9 miles west, show how far back building in the area around Sibley's Green goes. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you own a rental within reach of Stansted Airport station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. If you look after a building like Putteridge High School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
