About our storm damage roof report in Warner's End
Our storm damage report starts from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It is not a repair quote and does not include repair costs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. If you are worried about damaged pots on the stack and broken or displaced guttering, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In older homes around places like Warner's End, the underlay may be old bitumen felt, or there may be none at all. Once the slates or tiles let water past, there is little to stop it reaching the ceiling. Whether it’s long-term wear or recent damage makes a difference to what happens next. Wet battens and insulation in the loft are frequently the first clue.
It isn’t only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Warner's End
Are flat-roofed garages and porches in Warner's End worth including?
Frequently, yes, so mention it when booking. Flat-roofed garages and porches are common in new towns like Hemel Hempstead, and older felt coverings may be near the end of their life.
Will you come out to Warner's End?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Insurers usually exclude wear and tear. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
How long will you be at the property?
It normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. You will then get the report by email.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Only from ground level or from windows. Don’t use a ladder or go onto the roof. Binoculars can help you see damage from below and we will inspect the rest from safe positions.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from the ground, 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.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Warner's End
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which can make access easier.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the survey around it.

Storm damage roof reports in Warner's End: local notes
Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. Warner's End is part of Hemel Hempstead, one of the post-war new towns. Homes from the post-war decades are common in the new towns, many with low-pitched roofs in concrete tiles and flat-roofed garages or porches. Leaks on homes like these frequently come from flat-roofed additions or from rain driven up under low-pitched tiles.
If you own a rental within reach of Hemel Hempstead station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. Trees in and around Gadebridge Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters.

Problems we come across often include:
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Water coming in after the storm

Chimney stacks
Stacks with existing defects tend to suffer more in storms. We record both the storm damage and the older wear.
Flat roof coverings
Wind can lift the edges of flat roof coverings or tear them. We record any damage and where it is.
How the survey works
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect what can be seen safely, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey usually takes about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. A visit to Warner's End is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed beforehand. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Preparing for the visit
