Storm damage roof report in Coleman Green, Hertfordshire
Storm damage roof reports in Coleman Green from an independent, experienced roof surveyor. More than 20 years and over 5,000 surveys.
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Stains appearing after strong winds
Common roof problems in Coleman Green
Roofs that were already worn are more likely to suffer in a storm. 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.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Beech Hyde Primary School and Nursery, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- What exactly goes into their report
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Their track record with similar roofs
Storm damage roof report in Coleman Green: what you get
High winds usually affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Falling branches can cause damage too. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. If you are worried about lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and lead lifted at abutments, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on ridges and hips, chimney stacks and flashings alike.
Being in a small place like Coleman Green makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What else we do in Coleman Green
Coleman Green: your questions answered
Will you come out to Coleman Green?
Yes. Coleman Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Do you cover Coleman Green?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
How long will you be at the property?
Time on site depends on the roof; most visits take about 1–2 hours for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
What if my insurer declines the 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 can’t predict the outcome.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Different roofs, different checks
Flat roof coverings
Wind can lift the edges of flat roof coverings or tear them. We record any damage and where it is.
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles without fixings can move more easily in wind. We record what we can see of the fixings.
How we price storm damage roof reports
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Which survey package you book
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
For a price for your roof in Coleman Green, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the roof. We will confirm the figure before booking.
Booking your survey
These details help when you contact us:
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- The address and postcode of the property
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. You will have a price before anything is arranged.
For landlords and managing agents
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
Storm damage roof reports in Coleman Green: local notes
The wider area around Coleman Green has a long history of building, with Shaw's Corner about 2.5 miles north. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. 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. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
If you let a flat or house near Welwyn Garden City station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. If you run a business near Howard Centre, a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running.

How it works
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey normally takes about one to two hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere like Coleman Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We look at the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey

Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
If anything in the report is not clear, just ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
