Storm damage roof report in Micklefield Green: what you get
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from the ground, from windows and higher points, from the roof space and from the roof where it is safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. If part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. You get a photo-illustrated written report to give to your insurer. We survey slate and tile slopes, chimney stacks and flashings, and people most often book us about slates and tiles blown off the roof and damage from fallen branches or debris.
In a village or hamlet like Micklefield Green, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, particularly to an insurer. 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.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. It typically takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere like Micklefield Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Which survey package you book
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, from £400 including VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Helping us price your survey
What helps most when you contact us:
- When you need the report by
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Different roofs, different checks
Ridge and hip tiles
Worn mortar under ridge tiles can let them lift in a storm. Our report says whether it looks freshly damaged or worn over time.
Slate roofs
In high winds, slates can slip or go, often where nails have rusted. We record which slates have moved and any signs of older nail fatigue.
Why get it checked now?
If a roofer needs to make the roof safe, take photos first if you can do so safely from ground level. That keeps a record of how it looked. Older and listed buildings around Micklefield Green may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.
Why book us in Micklefield Green
- A report with photos
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Package prices that include VAT

Can I check my roof myself?
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Questions from Micklefield Green
Do you carry out roof surveys in Micklefield Green?
Yes, Micklefield Green is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
What do I do if water is coming in?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. We can record the damage in our report.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We’re not loss adjusters, and we do not negotiate claims. We give you an independent report of the damage, which you can pass to your insurer.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. If you’re still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. An independent report can add to your evidence, though we can’t predict the outcome.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Storm damage roof reports in Micklefield Green: local notes
Historic houses such as Chenies Manor House, about 2 miles west, show how far back building in the area around Micklefield Green goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
If you own a rental within reach of Chorleywood station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. Anyone responsible for a site like Sarratt Church of England Primary School will know that a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Cross, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.
