Storm damage roof report in Tye 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 photographs, and what we think the likely cause is. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. 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 frequently book us about roofs hit by falling trees and gutters pulled loose in the wind.
Roofs in small places like Tye Green often stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photograph. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both including VAT. You’ll know the price for your roof before booking.
Booking your survey
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email, let us know about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
Tye Green: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Tye Green?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Tye Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Tye Green is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
Each policy has its own definition. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but check your own wording.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not unless it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
How the survey changes by roof type
Slate roofs
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, but the nails frequently fail first. We look at whether slipped slates suggest storm damage, older wear or both.
Clay and concrete tiles
Broken or missing tiles leave the underlay exposed to rain. Each gap is recorded with a photo.
Tye Green roofs and the weather
In Essex, older buildings are often clay-tiled, many with weatherboarding, alongside plenty of post-war and newer estates. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. About 3.6 miles south lies Horham Hall, a reminder of how long the area around Tye Green has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near St Paul's Mission Room, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wimbish Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. If you let a flat or house near Newport (Essex) station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
