Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Croxley Green
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 we cannot say whether a claim will be paid. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. Common reasons to book are damaged flat roof membrane and stains appearing after strong winds, on flashings, slate and tile slopes and gutters and fascias.
For a small place like Croxley Green, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It is useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

For landlords and managing agents
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed in advance. Surveys run on any day of the week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Storm damage roof reports around Croxley Green
Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. With Chenies Manor House about 4.2 miles north-west, Croxley Green sits in an area with a long building history. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Take a building like Harvey Road Primary School: a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside. If you let a flat or house near Rickmansworth station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

Flashings can lift or pull away from walls and chimneys in strong winds. We record which are loose or damaged.
Useful tips for Croxley Green property owners
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
If you’re unhappy with how your insurer handles the claim, you can complain to them first. If that doesn’t resolve it, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help.
Store invoices and reports for any roof work. They help show the roof was in good order before a storm.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Many policies expect damage to be reported promptly. Check the wording and tell your insurer as soon as you can. Our report can then add a clear record. In a small place like Croxley Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the roof. We will confirm the figure before booking.

Other services in Croxley Green
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Croxley Green?
Gusts work at anything on a roof that is loose or exposed. Driving rain then gets in through the gaps. Most people book a report soon after a storm, when they’ve seen damage or water has come in.
Common reasons to book include:
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- New damp or leaks inside
If you live near a park such as Rickmansworth Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Are they insured for the work?
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Whether you get a written report with photos
What we do, step by step
We check the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there is safe access, from inside the roof space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey typically takes an hour or two at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. In a hamlet or village like Croxley Green, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Before we arrive
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

FAQs for Croxley Green
How do I find out if my home in Croxley Green is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Is Croxley Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Croxley Green is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Croxley Green as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How long does the survey take?
Most surveys take an hour or two for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. The report follows by email.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We’re not loss adjusters, and we do not negotiate claims. We give you an independent report of the damage, which you can pass to your insurer.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
