Storm damage roof report in Letchmore Heath
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’re not loss adjusters and can’t tell you if your claim will succeed. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. Common reasons to book are flat roof edges peeled back and ridge tiles that have come loose, on flashings, ridges and hips and chimney stacks.
In a village or hamlet like Letchmore Heath, older cottages and farmhouses frequently 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. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
It isn’t only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

FAQs for Letchmore Heath
Do you cover smaller places like Letchmore Heath?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
How do I find out if my home in Letchmore Heath is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Will you check the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we’ll agree the details as you book.
Leave it or get it looked at?
It helps to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. In a place like Letchmore Heath, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.

Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from a storm damage roof report starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- File receipts for anything you pay for
If anything in the report isn’t clear, just ask us. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
When to book a survey in Letchmore Heath
Insurers often want evidence of what has been damaged and why. An independent report gives you a clear record to send. Your insurer still makes the decision.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Damaged pots on the stack
The streets around a church such as Church of St John the Baptist are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, 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?
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
What happens on the day
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Rural addresses near Letchmore Heath can be hard to find from a postcode alone, 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.
- You let us know when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the roof space where it is safe.
- The damage is recorded with photos, area by area.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- The findings are written up with photos for you to share with your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
