Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Addiscombe
Our storm damage report starts from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It does not price the repairs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for that. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. Typical surveys look at slates and tiles blown off the roof and lead lifted at abutments, on flat roofs, flashings and gutters and fascias.
Many London homes are well over a century old and their roofs have been patched more than once. Insurers typically exclude wear and tear, so it helps to know whether damage is old or new. A careful look in Addiscombe tells the two apart where the evidence allows. Photographs and a written account give you something specific to show an insurer, a landlord or a roofer.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

How the survey works
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. From the street, a London terrace usually shows only its front slope or parapet, so in Addiscombe we work round the house, using the street, the windows, the loft and any safe vantage point behind it. Shared stairs or a basement flat? Let us know who holds the keys.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We check the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming

Advice
Storm damage roof reports in Addiscombe: local notes
Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, frequently with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. Addington Palace, about 2 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Addiscombe. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you look after a building such as Oasis Academy Shirley Park, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near St Mildred's Church, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Addiscombe?
Gusts work at anything on a roof that’s loose or exposed. Rain can then blow in where slates or tiles have gone. Most people book a report soon after a storm, when they’ve seen damage or water has come in.
Common reasons to book include:
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
Landlords with a home close to Norwood Junction station may find that a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- What insurance they carry
- When you will get the report
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
What this survey can’t tell you

Addiscombe questions
Do you cover Addiscombe?
Yes, Addiscombe is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Is my home in Addiscombe listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. If it is safe, take photos before it goes on. We can record the damage in our report.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
How long is the visit?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof, but most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. The written report follows by email.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Our reports start from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. The report does not include repair costs.
Why get it checked now?
The sooner the damage is recorded, the clearer the evidence. Further storms and quick fixes can make the picture less clear. In Addiscombe, as across London, an overflowing gutter soaks the wall below, which can lead to damp inside. A small blockage left for a few winters becomes a damp problem.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
