Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Tye Green
Wear and tear is usually excluded from home insurance. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. We note signs of each: recent damage alongside any older defects, like nail fatigue on slates or eroded pointing. We give an honest view of what we see. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. We are often asked to look into new damp or leaks inside and lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles, across flat roofs, chimney stacks and flashings.
For a small place like Tye Green, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Storm damage roof reports around Tye Green
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask. Older buildings in Essex often have clay tiles and weatherboarding, and a good many post-war and modern estates besides. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
Landlords with a home close to Cressing station may find that finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. If you look after a building like Cressing Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

How it works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Somewhere as small as Tye Green, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared

Related advice
Tye Green: your questions answered
Is my home in Tye Green listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you cover Tye Green?
Yes, Tye Green is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Tye Green as anywhere else.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Please do not climb onto the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to, and the report makes that clear.
How long will you be at the property?
Time on site depends on the roof; most visits take about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The written report follows by email.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
How the survey changes by roof type
Ridge and hip tiles
Worn mortar under ridge tiles can let them lift in a storm. Our report says whether it looks freshly damaged or worn over time.
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles can lift, crack or blow off in high winds. The report shows each damaged area.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Tye Green
Knowing whether older wear played a part helps you understand your position. Our report gives an honest view of both, so there are no surprises later. Older and listed buildings around Tye Green may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

When to book a survey in Tye Green
Storms do not only affect pitched roofs. Coverings can tear or peel back at the edges, and water can pond where outlets are blocked. Our report covers flat and pitched roofs.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Loose or torn flashings
- Stains appearing after strong winds
If you live in an older home near St Barnabas, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.
Before booking anyone
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Are they insured for the work?
- How soon the report will arrive
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
