Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Goff's Oak
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there’s access, and the roof itself where that’s safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. If part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. Typical surveys look at cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind and flashings pulled away from walls or stacks, on flat roofs, ridges and hips and gutters and fascias.
Houses in smaller places like Goff's Oak can stand more in the open, where driving rain gets into any gap at a ridge, verge or flashing. If a leak shows only when the wind is in a certain direction, that is a useful clue. It helps to know when and where the water appears. The gutters on the most exposed side can overflow too.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

How much is a storm damage roof report?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. Repair costs aren’t included, so ask a roofer to quote.
What do I do if water is coming in?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. We can record the damage in our report.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
We can’t say whether a claim will be paid. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Goff's Oak?
Landlords and managing agents book reports to keep a record for owners and insurers. It helps when explaining damage to a building owner or insurer.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- New damp or leaks inside
- Loose or torn flashings
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Damaged pots on the stack
Take an older house close to Church of St James: leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Their report turnaround times
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Are they insured for the work?
Storm damage roof reports around Goff's Oak
With Forty Hall about 2.9 miles south, Goff's Oak sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. 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. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
Trees in and around Cheshunt Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. If you let a flat or house near Cuffley station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away.

Tips that help
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. They can damage the roof in high winds.
Honest limits
A survey is a close look at the roof, but it can’t do everything. The main limits are:
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
- Your insurer’s view of the claim
- The outcome of a claim
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.
Roofs we survey in Goff's Oak
- Gutters and fascias
- Ridges and hips
- Flat roofs
- Flashings
- Chimney stacks
- Slate and tile slopes
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In a smaller place like Goff's Oak, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from ground level, and the loft shows the rest, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where it applies.

- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
