Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Harmer Green
After a storm, it is useful to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. 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 we give you is an independent record of the roof. We survey chimney stacks, slate and tile slopes and ridges and hips, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged flat roof membrane and gutters pulled loose in the wind.
Many homes in small places like Harmer Green face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen. The survey usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a small place like Harmer Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the roof space where it is safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Keep pets in another room

Advice
Leaks and storm damage in Harmer Green
About 1.5 miles south-west lies Digswell House, a reminder of how long the area around Harmer Green has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have 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.
Trees in and around Danesbury Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. Shop and office owners around Howard Centre may find that a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters.

Can I check my roof myself?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Harmer Green questions
Do you carry out roof surveys in Harmer Green?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and Harmer Green is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details.
Is my home in Harmer Green listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. 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.
Will you check the loft?
Typically, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Only from the ground or from windows. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. Binoculars can help you see damage from below, and we will record the rest.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We will talk about access when you book.
