Tips that help

- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed

Storm damage roof report in Welham Green: what you get
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there’s access, and the roof itself where that’s safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. We note any part we couldn’t see. You get a report with photos to give to your insurer. We survey gutters and fascias, ridges and hips and chimney stacks, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are flat roof edges peeled back and damaged gutters and fascias.
Around Welham Green, chimneys on older homes are a common source of leaks, at the flashings, the pointing or the mortar round the pots. Damp on a chimney breast isn’t always rain from above, which is why it is worth tracing properly. It is worth looking at the stack from outside and at the timbers beside it in the loft.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when booking and we’ll plan the survey around it.

Welham Green: your questions answered
Is my home in Welham Green listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
My home in Welham Green has a flat-roofed garage or porch. Is it worth having that looked at?
Typically, yes: let us know about it as you book so the visit can include it. Flat-roofed garages and porches are common in new towns like Hatfield, and older felt coverings may be near the end of their life.
Will you check the loft?
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.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Larger or more complex roofs are quoted for their size. It doesn’t include repair costs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for those.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
How long does the survey take?
It usually takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. You’ll then get the report by email.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. It normally takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Homes around Welham Green often have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. The loft, where there is safe access, completes the picture.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

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.

Why act early in Welham Green
Before temporary repairs, photograph the damage from the ground if it’s safe. Those photos show the damage as it was. In an older home around Welham Green, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.

Storm damage roof reports in Welham Green: local notes
Welham Green is part of Hatfield, 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. About 1.8 miles north lies Hatfield House, a reminder of how long the area around Welham Green has been built on. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Mary the Virgin, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. For landlords with property near Welham Green station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. Take a building like St Mary's Church of England Primary School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
