About storm damage roof reports in Greater London

Wear and tear is usually excluded from home insurance. So it matters whether the damage came from the storm or from a roof that was already worn. Our report records both: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems like corroded nails or worn mortar. We give an honest view of what we see. Your insurer then decides how its policy applies. We survey flat roofs, chimney stacks and flashings, and the problems we are asked to look at most are damaged flat roof membrane and roofs hit by falling trees.

Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes between one and two hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there.

We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
The roof is inspected from safe positions.
Each area of damage is photographed and described.
We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
You get a written report to pass to your insurer.

Leaks and storm damage across Greater London

After a storm, owners across Greater London want a clear record of what’s been damaged, so the report can separate fresh damage from older wear where the evidence allows. Any claim is the insurer’s decision.

We work right across London and the South East, from the Isle of Wight to Hertfordshire, and Greater London is well within that. We survey on any day of the week.

London: If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Gabriel's Wharf, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down. The streets around a church such as St George the Martyr are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

Why act early?

Before temporary repairs, photograph the damage from ground level if it’s safe. Those photos show the damage as it was.

How the survey changes by roof type

Chimney stacks

Older stacks with worn pointing or cracked flaunching are more likely to suffer. Our report notes recent damage and older defects.

Flat roof coverings

Edge trims and laps are frequently where flat roof coverings start to peel back. The report notes signs of recent damage and older wear.

Useful tips for Greater London property owners

Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:

Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
Read your policy wording on storm damage
Note the date and time you first saw the damage

For repair costs, ask a roofer to quote. They can use our report to see what needs doing.

Check the roof from the ground after strong winds. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Never climb onto the roof yourself.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Greater London

Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?

We cannot say whether a claim will be paid. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.

How should I record storm damage myself?

Stay off the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.

How long will you be at the property?

Time on site depends on the roof; most visits take between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. The report is sent afterwards by email.

Will you walk on the roof?

Only if it is safe. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.

Are you loss adjusters?

No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.

Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?

No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
