About our storm damage roof report in Nup End Green
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: were there storm conditions on or around the date, is the damage consistent with a storm, and was the storm the main cause. We record what the roof shows about the damage and its likely cause. You or your insurer can check the weather for the date. We survey slate and tile slopes, chimney stacks and flashings, and people most often book us about broken or displaced guttering and roofs hit by falling trees.
For a small place like Nup End Green, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Questions from Nup End Green
Is Nup End Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Nup End Green is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Do you cover Nup End Green?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Nup End Green as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Are you loss adjusters?
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.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Start by complaining to the insurer. If it isn’t resolved, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help. The Ombudsman looks at whether there were storm conditions, whether the damage fits a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Do you look in the roof space?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Safely, from the ground or a window. Don’t use a ladder or go onto the roof. With binoculars, you can see a lot from ground level, and we will record the rest.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you get in touch and we will explain what’s needed.
The survey, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Older rural homes like those around Nup End Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We look at the roof from wherever it is safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
Getting a price
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Advice
Before and after the survey
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- File receipts for anything you pay for
Once we’ve been, the findings are written up with photos. It covers the damage, its likely cause and any older defects. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
Check the roof from the ground after strong winds. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Do not go up a ladder to look.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Nup End Green
Historic houses such as Knebworth House, about 0.6 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Nup End Green goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary and St Thomas, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. If you let a flat or house near Knebworth station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. Living close to Knebworth Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn.
