About our storm damage roof report in Bandonhill
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. 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. If you’ve noticed stains appearing after strong winds and slipped or missing slates or tiles, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on chimney stacks, slate and tile slopes and ridges and hips alike.
Water getting into a London home often comes from a detail you cannot see from the street: the valley gutter in a butterfly roof, a parapet gutter, a chimney flashing or the flat roof over a rear extension. Whether you are tracing a leak or recording storm damage in Bandonhill, those are among the first places to look. Water from a hidden gutter can run along joists and show up a room or two away.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Why act early in Bandonhill
The sooner the damage is recorded, the clearer the evidence. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. Work on a London roof is rarely simple to arrange, with parking, neighbours and access all to think about. That is a good reason to find problems early, while there’s time to plan.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

Bandonhill questions
Do you cover Bandonhill?
Yes, Bandonhill is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Bandonhill as anywhere else.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Bandonhill?
It rarely stops a survey, but it is worth planning. Let us know the parking rules on your street and we’ll work around them.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it is safe. We check everything that can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
Each policy has its own definition. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but your policy sets the actual test.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Bandonhill roofs and the weather
About 4 miles east lies Addington Palace, a reminder of how long the area around Bandonhill has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Further from the centre, London’s housing takes in interwar semis with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles as well as slate-roofed terraces. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
Living close to Beddington Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. Landlords with a home close to Waddon station may find that finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
Bandonhill is about 2 miles west of Croydon, in Greater London. Bandonhill is part of the area we cover and the surrounding area across London and South East England. Bandonhill is one of the towns and villages in Greater London where we work for storm damage roof reports. For surveys nearby, see our London page.

Before and after the survey
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
You get the report by email and pass it to your insurer yourself. It is your record to use.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. They can damage the roof in high winds.
Roof by roof
Flat roof coverings
Branches and debris can damage flat roofs or block outlets. Any damage is recorded with photos.
Slate roofs
Slates frequently outlast the nails that hold them. The report records whether slipped slates look like storm damage or older wear.
What a storm damage roof report doesn’t cover
Before booking, it is worth knowing what a survey won’t do:
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
- How your policy defines a storm
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer

How it works
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Notes and photographs go into the written report. The visit typically takes about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In converted houses and mansion blocks, the loft hatch is frequently on a shared landing. Where that is the case, access needs agreeing with whoever controls that landing. Otherwise, the visit in Bandonhill runs like any other.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photos.
How to prepare
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
