Storm damage roof report in Lower Titmore Green, Hertfordshire
An independent record of roof damage after a storm for Lower Titmore Green and the rest of Hertfordshire. We survey on any day of the week.
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
What you can safely check yourself
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Lower Titmore Green
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. If you’re worried about flat roof edges peeled back and gaps where slates or tiles have gone, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a village or hamlet like Lower Titmore Green, 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’re thinking of an insurance claim. We check whatever is safely visible and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Lower Titmore Green: your questions answered

Do you cover Lower Titmore Green?
Yes, Lower Titmore Green is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs aren’t part of the report.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run seven days a week. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
- Check how your policy defines a storm
The report is emailed to you, and you decide what to send to your insurer. We do not deal with the insurer on your behalf.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Lower Titmore Green
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. Historic houses such as Knebworth House, about 3.5 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Lower Titmore Green goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
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. Take a building like Wymondley Junior Mixed and Infant School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. If you let a flat or house near Stevenage station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

Why get it checked now?
Before temporary repairs, photograph the damage from ground level if it is safe. That keeps a record of how it looked. Outbuildings and barns around Lower Titmore Green are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.

What happens on the day
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Somewhere as small as Lower Titmore Green, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the roof space where it’s safe.
- 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.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
