About our storm damage roof report in Wormingford
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. It’s 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. If you’ve noticed lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and torn or lifted flat roof coverings, we can find out what’s behind it, on gutters and fascias, chimney stacks and flashings alike.
Many homes in small places like Wormingford face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Tips that help
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
The report is emailed to you, and you decide what to send to your insurer. It is your record to use.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.
The survey, step by step
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In a hamlet or village like Wormingford, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You let us know when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We view the roof from wherever it can safely be seen, including the loft where there is access.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- We check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- The findings are written up with photographs for you to share with your insurer.
Before the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

Leaks and storm damage in Wormingford
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. Weatherboarded walls and clay tile roofs are typical of older Essex buildings, 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.
The streets around a church like Church of St Andrew are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

What we are asked to look at in Wormingford
A storm frequently finds a roof’s existing weak spots. Nail fatigue, eroded ridge mortar and tired flashings can all fail in high winds. Our report notes both the storm damage and any older wear.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
Landlords with a home close to Bures station may find that tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

Wormingford: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Wormingford?
Yes, Wormingford is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Wormingford?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Do you look in the roof space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We are not loss adjusters and don’t act for you with the insurer. We give you an independent report of the damage, which you can pass to your insurer.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Complain to your insurer first. If you are still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. An independent report can add to your evidence, but we cannot say how it will turn out.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. Our report then records the roof.
