Storm damage roof report in Wormley: what you get
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from ground level, from windows and higher points, from the loft space and from the roof where it is safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. If part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. We survey chimney stacks, slate and tile slopes and flat roofs, and people most often book us about lead lifted at abutments and broken or displaced guttering.
Houses in smaller places like Wormley can stand more in the open, where driving rain gets into any gap at a ridge, verge or flashing. A leak that only appears in certain weather often points to an exposed detail. It is useful to know when and where the water appears. Gutters and downpipes on the exposed side are worth a look as well.
Most points in the report come with a picture, 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.

When to book a survey in Wormley
Some people book because a claim has been questioned. An independent report gives you another view of the roof. What happens next is up to the insurer.
Problems we come across often include:
- New damp or leaks inside
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
For landlords with property near Broxbourne station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away.
Before you book anyone
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Are they insured for the work?
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
Practical tips
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Take photos from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
For repair costs, ask a roofer to quote. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.
Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Wormley
Is my home in Wormley listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is Wormley within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Raise it with your insurer first. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that doesn’t resolve it. The Ombudsman looks at whether there were storm conditions, whether the damage fits a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Please don’t climb onto the roof. Take photos from the ground or from windows. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Our reports start from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. Repair costs are not part of the report.
Leave it or get it looked at?
The sooner the damage is recorded, the clearer the evidence. Further storms and quick fixes can make the picture less clear. On a bungalow or cottage around Wormley, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so a small leak can mark a ceiling within a few storms. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT.

What happens on the day
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit typically takes about one to two hours for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Being in a smaller place like Wormley doesn’t change how the visit works: we look from ground level, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it’s safe. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
How to book
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email when you’re ready.

Storm damage roof reports around Wormley
Forty Hall, about 4.7 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Wormley. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
The streets around a church such as Parish Church of St Lawrence are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. If you live near a park such as Cheshunt Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys.
