How a storm damage roof report works in Agar Town
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: were there storm conditions on or around the date, is the damage consistent with a storm, and was the storm the main cause. We record what the roof shows about the damage and its likely cause. Weather records for the date are for you or your insurer to check. We survey slate and tile slopes, flat roofs and ridges and hips, and the problems we are asked to look at most are new damp or leaks inside and damage from fallen branches or debris.
Many London homes are well over a century old and their roofs have been patched more than once. Telling wear from a one-off event matters, because insurers usually exclude wear and tear. That’s as true in Agar Town as anywhere in London. A written record with photos helps you explain what was found to whoever deals with it next.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Agar Town
About 1.5 miles west lies Winfield House, a reminder of how long the area around Agar Town has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Inner London’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces often have Welsh slate roofs. Many have butterfly roofs draining to a central valley gutter, with parapet walls and gutters hidden behind them. Shared chimney stacks, party-wall upstands and lead work come with this kind of house. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Brunswick Centre, a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running. For an older house near a landmark such as All Saints, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

What else we do in Agar Town
Landlord and commercial surveys in Agar Town
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. A photo-illustrated written report gives you a clear record of the roof, useful for planning maintenance.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, with the most urgent items set out first.
How it works
It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take about one to two hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. Surveys in Agar Town can be booked for any day of the week. London parking is often by permit or pay-and-display, so it is useful to know what’s near you, and to clear a path to the loft hatch. Upstairs rooms at the back are useful too, as they frequently give the best view of a rear addition.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photos.
How to prepare
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Agar Town: your questions answered
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Agar Town?
It depends on the street. If Agar Town has controlled parking where you are, a visitor permit is the easiest answer, and a driveway is even better.
Do you cover Agar Town?
Yes, Agar Town is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the survey around it.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
Each policy has its own definition. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but your policy sets the actual test.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. It does not include repair costs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for those.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Can I check my roof myself?
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Why get it checked now?
Many policies expect damage to be reported promptly. Check the wording and tell your insurer as soon as you can. Our report can then add a clear record. In a London terrace or conversion, a roof defect rarely stays your problem alone: failed flashings and blocked valley gutters can send water into more than one home. Finding it early keeps the work smaller.

When to book a survey in Agar Town
Insurers often want evidence of what has been damaged and why. A written report with photos gives you something clear to pass on. The decision still rests with the insurer.
Problems we come across often include:
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Water coming in after the storm
Trees in and around Lewis Cubitt Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

- What happens after the report arrives
