How a storm damage roof report works in Beam Park
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Photograph the damage from the ground 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. Keep receipts for any emergency work. Typical surveys look at cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind and torn or lifted flat roof coverings, on flat roofs, chimney stacks and slate and tile slopes.
London’s Victorian and Edwardian roofs have often been repaired many times. Telling wear from a one-off event matters, because insurers normally exclude wear and tear. That is as true in Beam Park as anywhere in London. Photographs and a written account give you something specific to show an insurer, a landlord or a roofer.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Beam Park roofs and the weather
Historic houses such as Rainham Hall, about 1 mile south-east, show how far back building in the area around Beam Park goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. 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. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
If you own a rental within reach of Dagenham Dock station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. Living close to Beam Valley Country Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Beam Park
Insurers often want evidence of what has been damaged and why. An independent report gives you a clear record to send. The decision still rests with the insurer.
Problems we come across often include:
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Helen and St Giles, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.
What to check before booking
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- How soon the report will arrive
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
What happens on the day
It’s useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a London area like Beam Park, the main things to sort out are parking and access: let us know about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor the property is on and how to get into the loft. We then look at everything that’s safely in view from ground level, windows, the loft and, where it is safe, the roof itself.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Prices for storm damage roof reports in Beam Park
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- How big the roof is
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Building height and the viewpoints available
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, access and which survey you book.
What we need to know
We’ll normally ask about:
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- What kind of property and roof it is
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Tips from our surveys
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. You will have your own independent record to refer to.
Check the roof from the ground after strong winds. With binoculars, you can frequently spot problems without climbing. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
Leave it or get it looked at?
A few slipped slates can soon lead to wet timbers. Acting quickly normally means less damage overall. In Beam Park, as in much of London, water from a roof defect can reach a neighbour’s home as easily as yours: a blocked parapet gutter or slipped slate can let water into the flat below or the house next door. Dealing with it early is far less disruptive.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
What you get with us

Common questions in Beam Park
Is my home in Beam Park listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover Beam Park?
Yes, Beam Park is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
There’s no single figure. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Your policy document will say.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
That is not something we can promise. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only if it is safe. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Tell us about it as you book and we’ll explain what’s needed.
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 you book.
