How a storm damage roof report works in Stambourne Green
High winds normally affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Falling branches can cause damage too. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. We are often asked to look into stains appearing after strong winds and damage from fallen branches or debris, on gutters and fascias, slate and tile slopes and flat roofs.
For a small place like Stambourne Green, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Roof by roof
Ridge and hip tiles
Worn mortar under ridge tiles can let them lift in a storm. We note whether the mortar looks recently broken or long worn.
Flat roof coverings
Lifted trims and laps are common after a storm. The report notes signs of recent damage and older wear.

How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will take it from there. A typical survey takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Older rural homes like those around Stambourne Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Getting ready for the survey

- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

If you’re buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you are ready.
Advice
Storm damage roof reports in Stambourne Green: local notes
If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. 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. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
Around Stambourne Green, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in. Whether the property is in Stambourne Green itself or nearby, the inspection covers what can safely be seen, inside and out.

Can I check my roof myself?
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.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
