Storm damage roof report in Stevenage: what you get
After a storm, it helps to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. Our report shows the damage in photos and says whether it looks like storm damage, wear and tear, or a mix. We are not loss adjusters, and we cannot say whether a claim will be paid. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. We survey flat roofs, gutters and fascias and ridges and hips, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind and gaps where slates or tiles have gone.
With roofs of every age and type in a place like Stevenage, there are many ways for water to get in: slipped slates, cracked tiles, failed flashings, blocked valleys and gutters, or split flat-roof coverings. Water frequently shows up some way from where it got in, which is why the inside and outside are looked at together. Moisture readings and a close look outside help trace where the water has travelled.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Tips that help
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Photograph the damage safely from below
If you are unhappy with how your insurer handles the claim, you can complain to them first. After that, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.

Why get it checked now?
A few slipped slates can soon lead to wet timbers. Acting quickly normally means less damage overall. For a shop, office or block in Stevenage, a roof leak can mean closed rooms, damaged stock or unhappy residents. Planned work is far easier to manage than an emergency.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Stevenage?
Branches and trees often come down on roofs during storms. We record the damage and where it is, backed up with photos.
We are often asked to look at:
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
The streets around a church like St Hugh & St John are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.
Before booking anyone

Roof by roof
Slate roofs
Slates frequently outlast the nails that hold them. The report records whether slipped slates look like storm damage or older wear.
Lead flashings
Flashings can lift or pull away from walls and chimneys in strong winds. Loose or damaged flashings are photographed and noted.
Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Stevenage
My home in Stevenage has a flat-roofed garage or porch. Is it worth having that looked at?
Yes, if you’d like it included, mention it when booking. Cement sheet roofs on buildings from before 2000 may contain asbestos, so a specialist asbestos surveyor should check before they’re disturbed.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Stevenage?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. We can record the damage in our report.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Only from the ground or from windows. Don’t use a ladder or go onto the roof. Binoculars can help you see damage from below and we’ll inspect the rest from safe positions.
Do you look in the roof space?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.

- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording

Leaks and storm damage in Stevenage
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed. Stevenage was built as one of England’s 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 often come from flat-roofed additions or from rain driven up under low-pitched tiles.
For landlords with property near Stevenage station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Saint Vincent de Paul Catholic Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

What happens on the day
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. The survey itself takes between one and two hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Where a building in Stevenage has a manager or access rules, those are sorted out before the day. For homes, clear the way to the loft hatch and tell us about any leaks you know of. You then get a photo-illustrated written report.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- 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.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
