About our storm damage roof report in Wormley West End
Our storm damage report starts from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It does not price the repairs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. If you’ve noticed roofs hit by falling trees and damaged flat roof membrane, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Being in a small place like Wormley West End makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It’s useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Wormley West End roofs and the weather
Historic houses like Forty Hall, about 4.6 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Wormley West End goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
Landlords with a home close to Bayford station may find that tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. Take a building like The Broxbourne School: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

Why act early in Wormley West End
It’s useful to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Further storms and quick fixes can make the picture less clear. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT.

Questions from Wormley West End
How do I find out if my home in Wormley West End is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Will you come out to Wormley West End?
Yes. Wormley West End is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Our reports start from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. The report does not include repair costs.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We’re not loss adjusters, and we don’t negotiate claims. We provide an independent record of the roof for you to send to your insurer.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
What do I do if water is coming in?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. If it is safe, take photos before it goes on. We can record the damage in our report.
How it works
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. All told, expect an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. For a village or hamlet like Wormley West End, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- 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.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Before we arrive
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
Book a survey
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us, let us know about the property and we’ll suggest the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Advice
Useful tips for Wormley West End property owners
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. You’ll have your own independent record to refer to.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
How the survey changes by roof type
Clay and concrete tiles
A missing tile lets rain reach the underlay. Each gap is recorded with a photo.
Chimney stacks
Stacks with existing defects tend to suffer more in storms. Our report notes recent damage and older defects.
When to book a survey in Wormley West End
Falling trees and branches can damage roofs in high winds. The report shows what was hit and the damage caused, with photographs.
People usually book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Roofs hit by falling trees
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Parish Church of St Lawrence, leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.
