Bedfont Storm Damage Roof Report
Storm damage roof reports in Bedfont and the rest of Greater London. Surveys run on any day of the week.
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
Before and after the survey
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
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.
Storm damage roof report in Bedfont
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: whether there were storm conditions around the date, whether the damage fits a storm, and whether the storm was the main cause. Our report focuses on the second and third points. Weather records for the date are for you or your insurer to check. If you’ve noticed lead lifted at abutments and new damp or leaks inside, we can find out what’s behind it, on flat roofs, gutters and fascias and chimney stacks alike.
Many London homes are well over a century old and their roofs have been patched more than once. Insurers usually exclude wear and tear, so it helps to know whether damage is old or new. That’s as true in Bedfont as anywhere in London. Photos 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, whichever applies.

Leaks and storm damage in Bedfont
With Strawberry Hill House about 4.6 miles east, Bedfont sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. 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. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Fairholme Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Mary, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. If you own a rental within reach of Heathrow Terminal 4 Rail station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
Bedfont is about 1 mile west of Feltham, in Greater London. We survey roofs in Bedfont as part of our work across London and South East England. Bedfont is one of the places in Greater London where we work. We also survey roofs in London.
All of TW14, TW6 and TW13 is covered for storm damage roof reports, from the main roads to the quietest streets. If you need a storm damage roof report at a property on Elm Road, New Road and East Road or a nearby road, we can help. We also cover West Bedfont (1 mile west), Feltham (1 mile east), Heathrow (1 mile north-west), Hatton (1 mile north-east) and Hounslow (1 mile south). Larger places within reach include London (15 miles east), City of Westminster (13 miles east), Marylebone (13 miles east), Kensington (11 miles east), St Pancras (15 miles east) and Hampstead (13 miles north-east).

For landlords and managing agents
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer.
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To discuss a number of properties, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the addresses.
How the survey works
It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Many London properties are flats or terraces with no side access, so rear slopes are viewed from windows, the loft or, where a flight is allowed, by drone. If the building has a managing agent or access rules, tell us when booking.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
How to prepare
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Jot down any questions you want answered
Book a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Checking the roof from ground level
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
Honest limits
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
- The outcome of a claim
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll recommend the right survey before booking. The full list of what we check.
What we look at
- Ridges and hips
- Gutters and fascias
- Flat roofs
- Slate and tile slopes
- Flashings
- Chimney stacks
Questions from Bedfont
Is Bedfont in the area you cover?
Yes, Bedfont is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is parking a problem for a survey in Bedfont?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when booking.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
It depends on your policy. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Check your policy wording.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so you know what the roof shows. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years.
What affects the price in Bedfont
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- The size of the roof
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 inc. VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.
Helping us price your survey
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- When you need the report by
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
Getting a price is simple: just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and give us a few details about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
