Storm Damage Roof Report in North Mymms
A careful look at the roof at your property in North Mymms, with photos and a written report.
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Water coming in after the storm
- Flat roof edges peeled back
How a storm damage roof report works in North Mymms
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 are not loss adjusters and can’t tell you if your claim will succeed. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. If you’ve noticed flat roof edges peeled back and gutters pulled loose in the wind, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on slate and tile slopes, flashings and flat roofs alike.
Many homes in small places like North Mymms face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Questions from North Mymms
Do you carry out roof surveys in North Mymms?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and North Mymms is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like North Mymms?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it’s safe. We look at everything that can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Typically, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
How do I book a survey in North Mymms?
Simply call 07833 053749 or email us. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Please do not climb onto the roof. Take photos from the ground or from windows. Record the date and any damage inside as well.

What else we do in North Mymms
North Mymms roofs and the weather
Historic houses such as Wyllyotts Manor, about 2 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around North Mymms goes. If yours is one of the older homes, 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. 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. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
Take a building like Brookmans Park Primary School: a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside. For landlords with property near Brookmans Park station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. Trees in and around North Mimms Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.

How it works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Older rural homes like those around North Mymms can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before the survey
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Note where any stains or damp appear

Advice
What you can safely check yourself
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
What this survey cannot tell you
It’s a careful look at the roof, not the whole story. The main limits are:
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
- Estimates of repair costs
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will suggest the right survey. The full list of what we check.

Why it is worth a survey now in North Mymms
Leaving storm damage can let water into the roof space and rooms below. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. Emergency temporary protection should be arranged with a roofer. For an older or listed building in a place like North Mymms, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.
