Storm damage roof report in Cassiobury
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. Our report shows the damage in photos and says whether it looks like storm damage, wear and tear, or a mix. We are not loss adjusters and can’t tell you if your claim will succeed. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. If you’ve noticed roofs hit by falling trees and stains appearing after strong winds, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on ridges and hips, slate and tile slopes and flat roofs alike.
Chimney stacks on older houses around places like Cassiobury can let water in, at the flashings, the pointing or the mortar round the pots. Damp in a chimney breast can have more than one cause, so it is not always obvious where it starts. It’s worth looking at the stack from outside and at the timbers beside it in the loft.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Why act early in Cassiobury
Knowing whether older wear played a part helps you understand your position. We record storm damage and older defects, so you know what the roof shows. Homes in smaller places like Cassiobury can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Each storm lifts it a little further, and water follows.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, from £400 including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.
Why book with us
- 20+ years’ experience
- Surveys seven days a week
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

How the survey works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes between one and two hours at a typical home, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Being in a smaller place like Cassiobury doesn’t change how the visit works: we look from the ground, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it is safe. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We look at the roof from wherever it is safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

What you can safely check yourself
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book and it will help the survey.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
Questions from Cassiobury
Is Cassiobury in the area you cover?
Yes, Cassiobury is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the property.
How do I find out if my home in Cassiobury is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. An independent report can add to your evidence, though we cannot predict the outcome.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Insurers usually exclude wear and tear. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. Your insurer decides the claim.
How long will you be at the property?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof; most visits take between one and two hours at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. The written report follows by email.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
What does a storm damage report cost?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. The report does not include repair costs.

Tips from our surveys
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. After that, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
How the survey changes by roof type
Clay and concrete tiles
Broken or missing tiles leave the underlay exposed to rain. We photograph each gap.
Lead flashings
Old flashings that were already loose can give way in a storm. We record what looks recent and what looks older.
Wind, rain and roofs in Cassiobury
The wider area around Cassiobury has a long history of building, with High Elms Manor about 2.9 miles north. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
Living close to Cassiobury Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn. If you look after a building such as Watford St John's Church of England Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. If you let a flat or house near Watford Junction station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
