Storm damage roof report in Leverstock Green
After a storm, it helps 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 you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. Common reasons to book are slates and tiles blown off the roof and damaged ridges and hips, on gutters and fascias, flat roofs and ridges and hips.
Houses in smaller places like Leverstock Green can stand more in the open, so wind and driving rain find any weakness in ridges, verges and flashings. A leak that only appears in certain weather often points to an exposed detail. Tell us when it happens when you contact us. The gutters on the most exposed side can overflow too.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Prices for storm damage roof reports in Leverstock Green
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The size of the roof
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Helping us price your survey
Before you get in touch, it is useful to have:
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- The property’s address and postcode
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or email us. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Checking the roof from the ground
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
What this survey can’t tell you
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- A price for the repairs
- The outcome of a claim
- Acting for you with the insurer
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll suggest the right survey. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

Questions from Leverstock Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Leverstock Green?
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.
Is Leverstock Green within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
We can’t say whether a claim will be paid. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
What if the roof was already worn?
Wear and tear is not normally covered. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. Your insurer decides the claim.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only if it is safe. We look at everything that can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
When to book a survey in Leverstock Green
A storm often finds a roof’s existing weak spots. Nail fatigue, eroded ridge mortar and tired flashings can all fail in high winds. Our report notes both the storm damage and any older wear.
Common reasons to book include:
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Roofs hit by falling trees
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Leverstock Green Church of England Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether VAT is added on top
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- What exactly goes into their report

Wind, rain and roofs in Leverstock Green
Leverstock Green is part of Hemel Hempstead, one of the post-war new towns. Many homes in the new towns date from the post-war decades, with concrete interlocking tiles, low-pitched roofs and flat-roofed garages and porches. Leaks on homes like these frequently come from flat-roofed additions or from rain driven up under low-pitched tiles. With Batchwood Hall about 3.5 miles east, Leverstock Green sits in an area with a long building history. If your house is among 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.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of Holy Trinity, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. Shop and office owners around Village Arcade St Albans may find that a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters.
