The service

What Storm Damage Repair Involves

Storm damage repair restores a roof hit by high winds, heavy rain or falling debris: replacing blown-off tiles and slates, re-bedding loosened ridges, refixing flashings, and repairing torn flat roof coverings.

It's for homeowners who've found tiles in the garden after a storm, spotted gaps on the roof, or noticed new leaks after a spell of bad weather.

You need it straight away. A roof with storm damage is open to the next downpour, and the wind will keep working on the gaps it's already made.

Professional help matters because storm damage often extends beyond what's visible from the ground. A proper inspection finds loosened tiles that haven't fallen yet.

The risk

Why Storm Damage Can't Wait

Storms come in clusters. The next one finds the gaps the last one made.

Damage spreads

Wind gets under tiles next to a gap and lifts more of them.

Water ingress

Rain enters directly through missing tiles.

Falling hazards

Loose tiles and ridges can fall onto people, cars or neighbours' property.

Bigger repairs

Small storm damage turns into section re-roofing if left.

Common mistakes homeowners make

  • Climbing onto the roof yourself after a storm.
  • Assuming only the tiles you can see are affected.
  • Relying on a tarpaulin for weeks.
  • Not documenting damage with photos.

Storm Damage Repairs near you

Based in Great Easton, we carry out storm damage repairs for homeowners across Essex, North London and Hertfordshire, including:

Roofs across the region face the same mix of wind-driven rain, cold snaps and summer heat, but the housing stock varies a lot, from clay-tiled cottages around Great Dunmow and Saffron Walden to slate-roofed Victorian terraces in Walthamstow and Enfield, and post-war homes with concrete tiles and flat-roofed extensions in Chelmsford, Braintree and Romford. Knowing which roofs are common where helps diagnose problems faster and specify repairs that match.

How to Choose a Roofer for Storm Damage Repairs

Before you agree to any storm damage repairs work in Essex, North London or Hertfordshire, check these points, whoever you choose.

  • Has someone actually looked at the roof?

    Ask how the roof will be assessed and what is included in the quotation.

  • Is the quote in writing?

    A written quote sets out what's being done and the price, so there's no argument halfway through the job.

  • Are they insured?

    Roof work happens at height above your home. Ask for public liability cover; Essex RoofCare carries £2,000,000.

  • What guarantee comes with the work?

    Ask what's covered and for how long. New roofs and flat roofs from Essex RoofCare carry a 10-year guarantee; repair guarantees depend on the job and are stated in the quote.

  • How much experience do they have?

    Diagnosing roofs is learned on roofs. Stuart has 30 years of hands-on experience.

  • Will they tell you if you don't need the work?

    A good roofer will tell you when a repair is enough, or when nothing needs doing at all.
