- Slates and tiles blown off the roof

Why get it checked now?
The sooner the damage is recorded, the clearer the evidence. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. Around Cheshunt, gutters that overflow soak the wall below, and damp follows inside. At roof level, a loose tile or tired flashing does the same. Neither gets better on its own.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

Storm damage roof report in Cheshunt: what you get
High winds normally affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. We survey flashings, flat roofs and ridges and hips, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged ridges and hips and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind.
Around a town like Cheshunt, leaks come from older and newer roofs alike. Older roofs suffer slipped slates, worn mortar and tired lead, while later houses can leak at valleys, verges and flat-roofed additions. Knowing the cause tells you what to do next. It also tells you whether the problem is old wear or something more recent.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
Questions from Cheshunt
How do I find out if my home in Cheshunt is listed?
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.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Cheshunt?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Cheshunt is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Does someone need to be in?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We will talk about access when booking.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Our reports start from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. Repair costs are not part of the report.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
Complain to your insurer first. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, but we can’t say how it will turn out.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Storm damage roof reports in Cheshunt: local notes
The wider area around Cheshunt has a long history of building, with Forty Hall about 3 miles south. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
If you look after a building such as Andrews Lane Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. The streets around a church such as St Mary the Virgin are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

- Flashings
- Flat roofs
- Slate and tile slopes
- Gutters and fascias
- Ridges and hips
How it works
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the roof space if there is safe access. All told, expect between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. A typical visit in Cheshunt begins with the street side of the roof and then moves round the building. Rear gardens and side paths frequently give the best view of extensions and back slopes. Then, if it can be reached safely, we look in the loft.
- 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 the ground, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent

Common roof problems in Cheshunt
Storms don’t only affect pitched roofs. Coverings can tear or peel back at the edges, and water can pond where outlets are blocked. We record what we find on flat and pitched roofs alike.
Common reasons to book include:
- Broken or displaced guttering
- New damp or leaks inside
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Loose or torn flashings
Living close to Cheshunt Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Before booking anyone
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- What exactly goes into their report
