Storm damage roof report in America Ground
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Photograph the damage from ground level or a window, and never climb up. Emergency temporary protection, such as covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. We survey gutters and fascias, ridges and hips and flashings, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged gutters and fascias and lead lifted at abutments.
Around America Ground, chimneys on older homes are a common source of leaks, at the flashings, the pointing or the mortar round the pots. Damp in a chimney breast can have more than one cause, so it is not always obvious where it starts. The stack, its flashings and the loft space beside it are all worth checking.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible.

DIY checks: what’s safe
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
How the survey works
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. All told, expect an hour or two for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to America Ground is booked with the forecast in mind: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
How to prepare
- Find any records of previous roof work
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming

Advice
Common roof problems in America Ground
Landlords and managing agents book reports to keep a record for owners and insurers. The report can be shared with owners, tenants or insurers.
Look out for signs like these:
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Damaged ridges and hips
- New damp or leaks inside
- Flat roof edges peeled back
For hotels and guest houses around America Ground, a roof problem found early is far less disruptive than one found by a guest, so it’s worth knowing the roof’s condition.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Are they insured for the work?
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- What happens after the report arrives
Questions from America Ground
Is my home in America Ground listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is America Ground within the area you cover?
Yes, America Ground is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. If it’s safe, photograph the damage before it is covered. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
How long is the visit?
Expect it to take roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. You will then get the report by email.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in America Ground?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It varies by policy. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but check your own wording.
Storm damage roof reports around America Ground
America Ground lies within about 1 mile of the sea, so storms can arrive with strong gusts off the water. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording, and many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, though it varies. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
Living close to Linton Gardens is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Holy Trinity Church, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

If a roofer needs to make the roof safe, take photos first if you can do so safely from ground level. Those photos show the damage as it was. Arranging work in a smaller place like America Ground is easier with notice than in an emergency. A survey gives you that notice.
