Belgravia Storm Damage Roof Report
Storm damage roof reports in Belgravia from an independent, experienced roof surveyor. Over 5,000 surveys and 20+ years behind us across London and South East England.
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
What happens if roof problems are left?
If the damage is partly wear and tear, it is better to know. We record storm damage and older defects, so you know what the roof shows. Behind a London parapet, a blocked gutter can sit full of water without anyone seeing it. By the time a ceiling stains, the timbers underneath may have been wet for a while.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.
Why book with us
- Photos and a written report every time
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed

How a storm damage roof report works in Belgravia
After a storm, it helps to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We aren’t loss adjusters, and we can’t say whether a claim will be paid. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. We are frequently asked to look into loose or torn flashings and roofs hit by falling trees, across flashings, slate and tile slopes 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. Telling wear from a one-off event matters, because insurers usually exclude wear and tear. A careful look in Belgravia tells the two apart where the evidence allows. A written record with photos helps you explain what was found to whoever deals with it next.
We write the report in plain English, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

What we look for on each type of roof
Chimney stacks
Stacks with existing defects tend to suffer more in storms. Our report notes recent damage and older defects.
Lead flashings
When flashings lift, water can get behind them. The report records the flashing and any damp inside.

Useful tips for Belgravia property owners
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Take photos from the ground or a window, never by climbing
After the visit, we write up the report with photos of each area of damage. It covers the damage, its likely cause and any older defects. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
What affects the price in Belgravia
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Height and safe access
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the roof. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.
Booking your survey
A few details help us suggest the right survey and price. When you contact us, tell us:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
To book a survey, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We will confirm the price before booking.
What happens on the day
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect between one and two hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. London terraces rarely offer a view of the whole roof from one spot, so a visit in Belgravia moves between viewpoints: the pavement, upstairs windows, the loft and any safe spot at the back. Shared stairs or a basement flat? Let us know who holds the keys.
- 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.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
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 send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Belgravia questions
Do you cover Belgravia?
Yes, Belgravia is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Belgravia as anywhere else.
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Belgravia?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available as you book.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
Each policy has its own definition. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but check your own wording.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Raise it with your insurer first. If it isn’t resolved, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help. The Ombudsman looks at whether there were storm conditions, whether the damage fits a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
How do I book a survey in Belgravia?
It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
What we’re asked to look at in Belgravia
When you claim, your insurer may ask for evidence of the damage and its cause. A written report with photos gives you something clear to pass on. The decision still rests with the insurer.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Broken or displaced guttering
For businesses in and around places such as Harrods, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down.

Belgravia roofs and the weather
Historic houses such as Apsley House, about 0.4 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Belgravia goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Welsh slate on Victorian and Edwardian terraces is a familiar sight across inner London. Many have butterfly roofs draining to a central valley gutter, with parapet walls and gutters hidden behind them. Shared chimney stacks, party-wall upstands and lead work come with this kind of house. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
If you own a rental within reach of London Victoria station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. Living close to Green Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn.
