Storm damage roof report in Standon Green End: what you get
What counts as a storm depends on your policy, though many use gusts of about 55 mph. Your policy document sets out its own definition. We don’t decide whether a storm met that test. Our part is recording the damage to your roof and its likely cause. The report includes photographs of each area of damage, and you decide what to send. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We’re often asked to look into lead lifted at abutments and slipped or missing slates or tiles, across slate and tile slopes, flat roofs and ridges and hips.
Roofs in small places like Standon Green End frequently stand in the open, 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 written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

After that, we look at everything we can see safely, from ground level, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where applicable. Most surveys take between one and two hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere as small as Standon Green End, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.

Storm damage roof reports in Standon Green End: local notes
The wider area around Standon Green End has a long history of building, with Much Hadham Palace about 4.5 miles east. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near St Mary's, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. Take a building like Ralph Sadleir Middle School: a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside.
