Storm damage roof report in Stonebridge
Our storm damage report starts from £150. It’s a photo-illustrated written report, sent by email. It doesn’t price the repairs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. We survey slate and tile slopes, chimney stacks and flashings, and the problems we are asked to look at most are flat roof edges peeled back and stains appearing after strong winds.
For a small place like Stonebridge, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It is useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Stonebridge?
Flat roofs can be damaged too. Coverings can tear or peel back at the edges, and water can pond where outlets are blocked. We record what we find on flat and pitched roofs alike.
Problems we come across often include:
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Roofs hit by falling trees
If you look after a building like Barling Magna Primary Academy, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.

Before and after the survey
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
If anything in the report is not clear, just ask us. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
Storm damage roof reports in Stonebridge: local notes
The coast is about 3 miles or less from Stonebridge, so there is more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, and driving rain finds any gap they leave. In Essex, older buildings are frequently clay-tiled, many with weatherboarding, 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.
If you own a rental within reach of Thorpe Bay station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. Homes near green spaces like Garon Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn.

What affects the price in Stonebridge
Survey packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone

- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.

You don’t need to know any roofing terms. Just let us know:
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- When you need the report by

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Stonebridge
Will you come out to Stonebridge?
Yes, Stonebridge is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
How do I find out if my home in Stonebridge is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
How are storm damage reports priced?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs aren’t part of the report.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
There’s no single figure. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Your policy document will say.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Honest limits
It is a careful look at the roof, not the whole story. Its limits include:
- The outcome of a claim
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
- How your policy defines a storm
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.
Roof types and parts we check
- Flat roofs
- Flashings
- Slate and tile slopes
- Chimney stacks
- Ridges and hips
- Gutters and fascias
Different roofs, different checks
Chimney stacks
Stacks with existing defects tend to suffer more in storms. We record both the storm damage and the older wear.
Lead flashings
Lifted flashings let rain run behind them into the roof. We note where this has happened and any damp inside.
What we do, step by step
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Around Stonebridge, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Before the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Let us know about parking near the property
Book a survey
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us and give us a few details about the property and we’ll point you to the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
