Storm damage roof report in Colliers End
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Falling branches can cause damage too. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. We survey slate and tile slopes, chimney stacks and flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are holes or cracks caused by debris and slates and tiles blown off the roof.
Being in a small place like Colliers End makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photo. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Colliers End: your questions answered
Will you come out to Colliers End?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Colliers End?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
Only your insurer can decide that. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
How long is the visit?
It typically takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. You’ll then get the report by email.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We are not loss adjusters, and we do not negotiate claims. We provide an independent record of the roof, which you can pass to your insurer.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is not usually covered. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Before temporary repairs, photograph the damage from the ground if it’s safe. Those photos show the damage as it was. In a small place like Colliers End, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Storm damage roof reports in Colliers End: local notes
Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. About 3.7 miles east lies Much Hadham Palace, a reminder of how long the area around Colliers End has been built on. 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.
For an older house near a landmark like St Mary's, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ralph Sadleir Middle School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

How it works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, from ground level, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where it applies. The survey typically takes an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Rural addresses near Colliers End can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You let us know 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’s safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets in another room
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Note where any stains or damp appear

What we are asked to look at in Colliers End
Strong winds lift loose or poorly fixed slates and tiles, ridge pieces and flashings. Rain can then blow in where slates or tiles have gone. Most people book a report soon after a storm, when they’ve seen damage or water has come in.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- New damp or leaks inside
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Damaged gutters and fascias
For landlords with property near Ware station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
What a survey costs
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Getting in touch
We will typically ask about:
- Anything about access we should know
- What made you get in touch
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Dates you’re working to, like exchange
Once you know what you need, call 07833 053749 or email us. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date.
Checking the roof from the ground
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
