About our storm damage roof report in Theydon Garnon
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. It sets out what is damaged, with photos, and what we think the likely cause is. It is yours to pass to your insurer. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We are not loss adjusters, and we can’t tell you whether a claim will succeed. We survey gutters and fascias, flat roofs and slate and tile slopes, and people most often book us about loose or torn flashings and lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles.
For a small place like Theydon Garnon, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. 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.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.
Letting agents frequently book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
Storm damage roof reports in Theydon Garnon: local notes
Historic houses such as Hill Hall, about 1.2 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Theydon Garnon goes. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Older buildings in Essex frequently have clay tiles and weatherboarding, 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.
If you look after a building like Theydon Bois Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

Can I check my roof myself?
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.

Common questions in Theydon Garnon
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Theydon Garnon?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you cover smaller places like Theydon Garnon?
Yes, Theydon Garnon is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. We look at the parts we’re given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We are not loss adjusters, and we don’t negotiate claims. We give you an independent report of the damage for you to send to your insurer.
How do I book a survey in Theydon Garnon?
Simply call 07833 053749 or email us with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
That is not something we can promise. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when booking.
What we do, step by step
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes about one to two hours at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Rural addresses near Theydon Garnon can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.

- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.

Advice
Before and after the survey
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Take photos from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
Keep records of roof work and surveys. They help show the roof was in good order before a storm.
