After strong winds, we often see cracked and slipped slates. We photograph and describe each one.

Tiles without fixings can move more easily in wind. We note what we can see of how tiles are fixed.
Storm damage roof report in Beddington: what you get
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. It’s yours to pass to your insurer. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We aren’t loss adjusters and can’t say whether a claim will be paid. Typical surveys look at torn or lifted flat roof coverings and damaged ridges and hips, across ridges and hips, flashings and gutters and fascias.
London’s Victorian and Edwardian roofs have frequently been repaired many times. Insurers normally exclude wear and tear, so it helps to know whether damage is old or new. A careful look in Beddington tells the two apart where the evidence allows. Photographs and a written account give you something specific to show an insurer, a landlord or a roofer.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Beddington questions
Is my home in Beddington listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you cover Beddington?
Yes, Beddington is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Beddington as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
There is no single figure. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Your policy document will say.
Will you check the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
What a storm damage roof report doesn’t cover
Before booking, it is worth knowing what a survey will not do:

- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording

Common roof problems in Beddington
Landlords and managing agents book reports to keep a record for owners and insurers. The report can be shared with owners, tenants or insurers.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Water coming in after the storm
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Loose or torn flashings
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.
Before booking anyone
- Are they insured for the work?
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
What affects the price in Beddington
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Building height and the viewpoints available
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. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Getting in touch
These details help when you contact us:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- What’s prompted the survey
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We will confirm the price before you book.
Tips that help
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Take photos from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
You get the report by email and pass it to your insurer yourself. We do not deal with the insurer on your behalf.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
The survey, step by step
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. Most visits take about one to two hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. For a visit in Beddington, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor the property is on and how to get into the loft. On the day, the roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from inside the loft space and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- 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
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Check we can get to the back of the property

Advice
Storm damage roof reports around Beddington
With Addington Palace about 4 miles east, Beddington sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, 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. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Beddington Park Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. Homes near green spaces such as Waddon Ponds can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
