Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Springfield
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: whether there were storm conditions around the date, whether the damage fits a storm, and whether the storm was the main cause. We record what the roof shows about the damage and its likely cause. Weather records for the date are for you or your insurer to check. We survey slate and tile slopes, flashings and ridges and hips, and people most frequently book us about ridge tiles that have come loose and lead lifted at abutments.
Houses in smaller places like Springfield can stand more in the open, so wind and driving rain find any weakness in ridges, verges and flashings. A leak that only appears in certain weather often points to an exposed detail. Tell us when it happens when you contact us. Gutters and downpipes on the exposed side are worth a look as well.
It isn’t only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

What you can safely check yourself
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey.
Storm damage roof reports in Springfield: local notes
Historic houses like Danbury Place, about 2.9 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Springfield goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Weatherboarded walls and clay tile roofs are typical of older Essex buildings, 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.
If you run a business near Bond Street Chelmsford, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters. If you own a rental within reach of Beaulieu Park station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. If you live in an older home near St Augustine of Canterbury North Springfield, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

How it works
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In a smaller place like Springfield, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from the ground and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.

FAQs for Springfield
Is my home in Springfield listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Will you come out to Springfield?
Yes, Springfield is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
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.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It depends on your policy. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Your policy document will say.
Do you look in the roof space?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
