Storm damage roof report in Wyatt's Green
After a storm, safety comes first. Photograph the damage from ground level or a window, and never climb up. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. We are often asked to look into torn or lifted flat roof coverings and slipped or missing slates or tiles, across gutters and fascias, slate and tile slopes and ridges and hips.
Many homes in small places like Wyatt's Green face open ground, 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 photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Tips from our surveys
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Take photos from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- 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.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.

Wyatt's Green questions
Do you carry out roof surveys in Wyatt's Green?
Yes, Wyatt's Green is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Wyatt's Green as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Wyatt's Green?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Raise it with your insurer first. If it is not resolved, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help. The Ombudsman asks about storm conditions, whether the damage is consistent with a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It depends on your policy. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Your policy document will say.
How long will you be at the property?
It usually takes an hour or two at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or email us. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we will recommend the right survey. We survey on any day of the week.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
How it works
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes an hour or two at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In a small place like Wyatt's Green, access is usually the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Getting ready for the survey
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
Book a survey
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Advice
What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
Survey packages start from £150, inc. VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.
Booking your survey
A little information up front helps. It is useful to include:
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- What made you get in touch
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know the cost up front. Our price is from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Leaks and storm damage in Wyatt's Green
With Ingatestone Hall about 3.5 miles east, Wyatt's Green sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Weatherboarded walls and clay tile roofs are typical of older Essex buildings, and plenty of post-war and modern estates besides. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Doddinghurst Infant School, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside. The streets around a church such as Church of All Saints are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. If you let a flat or house near Shenfield station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away.

Checking the roof from the ground
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Honest limits
Before booking, it is worth knowing what a survey will not do:
- Acting for you with the insurer

- The outcome of a claim
