Tips from our surveys
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
About our storm damage roof report in Stones Green
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. It sets out what is damaged, with photos, and what we think the likely cause is. It is yours to pass to your insurer. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We are not loss adjusters and can’t say whether a claim will be paid. If you’ve noticed stains appearing after strong winds and gaps where slates or tiles have gone, we can find out what’s behind it.
Roofs in small places like Stones Green often stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

Stones Green questions
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Stones Green, take more of a battering?
It can do. Within about 3 miles of the sea, as Stones Green is, metal fixings wear faster and gales find any loose ridge or slate.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Stones Green?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is Stones Green in your area?
Yes. We cover Stones Green and the rest of Essex, as part of our work across London and South East England. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. If it is safe, take photos before it goes on. We can record the damage in our report.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Safely, from the ground or a window. Do not use a ladder or go onto the roof. With binoculars, you can see a lot from ground level, and we will record the rest.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Usually, if there is one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photos.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
Roof by roof
Slate roofs
After strong winds, we often see cracked and slipped slates. We photograph and describe each one.
Chimney stacks
Older stacks with worn pointing or cracked flaunching are more likely to suffer. Our report notes recent damage and older defects.
Storm damage roof reports around Stones Green
Stones Green is within about 3 miles of the coast. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies, and the insurer decides the claim. Clay tiles and timber weatherboarding mark out many of the older buildings in Essex, with post-war and more recent estates making up much of the newer housing. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
Thorpe Hall lies about 3.3 miles south, so building around Stones Green goes back a long way. On older roofs nearby, leaks frequently trace back to lead flashings, valleys and gutters.

Anyone responsible for a site like Wix and Wrabness Primary School will know that water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
What we need to know
There is no need for technical words. It is enough to let us know:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- How the loft is reached, if there is one

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. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take between one and two hours at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. For a village or hamlet like Stones Green, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
