How a storm damage roof report works in Albany Park
The Financial Ombudsman looks at three things when it considers a storm damage complaint: were there storm conditions on or around the date, is the damage consistent with a storm, and was the storm the main cause. Our report focuses on the second and third points. You or your insurer can check the weather for the date. If you’ve noticed broken or displaced guttering and loose or torn flashings, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flashings, gutters and fascias and ridges and hips alike.
In converted houses and blocks across London, water from a roof can run a long way before it shows on a ceiling. That makes the source hard to pin down, and finding it matters for whoever has to deal with it. We look at what we are given access to in Albany Park, inside and out. Let us know when the water shows, and in what kind of weather.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photograph. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Storm damage roof reports around Albany Park
Historic houses such as Danson House, about 2.2 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Albany Park goes. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
If you live in an older home near St Lawrence church, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. Anyone responsible for a site like Birkbeck Primary School will know that a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.

When to book a survey in Albany Park
Storms don’t only affect pitched roofs. Wind can lift edges and tear coverings, and blocked outlets can leave water ponding after heavy rain. We record what we find on flat and pitched roofs alike.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
Shop and office owners around Broadway Shopping Centre may find that water through a ceiling can damage stock and close a sales floor, so the source needs finding fast.

What else we do in Albany Park
The survey, step by step
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Many London properties are flats or terraces with no side access, so rear slopes are viewed from windows, the loft or, where a flight is allowed, by drone. If the building has a managing agent or access rules, let us know when you book.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the loft space where it’s safe.
- The damage is recorded with photos, area by area.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- The findings are written up with photographs for you to share with your insurer.
Before the survey
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Advice
Questions from Albany Park
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Albany Park?
It depends on the street. If Albany Park has controlled parking where you are, a visitor permit is the easiest answer.
Is my home in Albany Park listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Insurers usually exclude wear and tear. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. Your insurer decides the claim.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when booking.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
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.
