Great Wymondley Storm Damage Roof Report

Leave it or get it looked at?
The sooner the damage is recorded, the clearer the evidence. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. In a place like Great Wymondley, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

How a storm damage roof report works in Great Wymondley
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We are not loss adjusters, and we cannot say whether a claim will be paid. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. Common reasons to book are torn or lifted flat roof coverings and new damp or leaks inside, across flat roofs, slate and tile slopes and ridges and hips.
In a village or hamlet like Great Wymondley, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you are thinking of an insurance claim. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

How the survey changes by roof type
Lead flashings
Flashings with older defects frequently fail in high winds. Our report separates fresh damage from older wear where we can.
Slate roofs
Slates often outlast the nails that hold them. The report records whether slipped slates look like storm damage or older wear.
What we do, step by step
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take about one to two hours at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. In a hamlet or village like Great Wymondley, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- The damage is recorded with photos, area by area.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed

Advice
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Great Wymondley?
When you claim, your insurer may ask for evidence of the damage and its cause. An independent report gives you a clear record to send. Your insurer still makes the decision.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Water coming in after the storm
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
For landlords with property near Hitchin station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Which limits apply to the survey
- What happens after the report arrives
- How soon the report will arrive
- Will the report include photos?
DIY checks: what’s safe
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
Storm damage roof reports in Great Wymondley: local notes
Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. With Knebworth House about 4.9 miles south, Great Wymondley sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
Take a building like Wymondley Junior Mixed and Infant School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

Great Wymondley questions
How do I find out if my home in Great Wymondley is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you cover Great Wymondley?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Great Wymondley is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property.
How long does the survey take?
It usually takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. We’ll confirm the timing as you book.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Only from ground level or from windows. Don’t use a ladder or go onto the roof. With binoculars, you can see a lot from ground level, and we will record the rest.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
