Storm damage roof report in Bedford Park: what you get
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. It sets out what is damaged, with photos, and what we think the likely cause is. It’s yours to pass to your insurer. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We’re not loss adjusters, and we can’t tell you whether a claim will succeed. Typical surveys look at cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind and damage from fallen branches or debris, on flat roofs, flashings and ridges and hips.
London’s Victorian and Edwardian roofs have often been repaired many times, so a new leak can be the latest sign of wear rather than a single event. Insurers typically exclude wear and tear, so it helps to know whether damage is old or new. A careful look in Bedford Park 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.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. You will see the good as well as the bad.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Bedford Park
In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed. About 0.9 miles south lies Hogarth's House, a reminder of how long the area around Bedford Park 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.
If you let a flat or house near South Acton station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. If you run a business near Livat Hammersmith, water through a ceiling can damage stock and close a sales floor, so the source needs finding fast.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Bedford Park
Branches and trees often come down on roofs during storms. We record the damage and where it is, backed up with photos.
Common reasons to book include:
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Loose or torn flashings
- New damp or leaks inside
Anyone responsible for a site like Southfield Primary School will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
What to check before booking
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- Will the report include photos?
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
FAQs for Bedford Park
Is parking a problem for a survey in Bedford Park?
Usually it is manageable with a little notice. Let us know the parking rules on your street and we’ll work around them.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bedford Park?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Bedford Park?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Safely, from ground level or a window. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. With binoculars, you can see a lot from the ground and we will inspect the rest from safe positions.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Useful tips for Bedford Park property owners
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
If you’re unhappy with how your insurer handles the claim, you can complain to them first. After that, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. They can damage the roof in high winds.

What happens on the day
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. If you have questions on the day, just ask. In a London conversion, the way into the roof space is often from a communal landing or the top flat. If that applies to your building, it is useful to agree access with the neighbours or the managing agent first. Everything else is planned around the building, not the postcode.

Advice
Why get it checked now?
Leaving storm damage can let water into the roof space and rooms below. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. In Bedford Park, as across London, an overflowing gutter soaks the wall below, which can lead to damp inside. A small blockage left for a few winters becomes a damp problem.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. You’ll know the price for your roof before booking.
