- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone

DIY checks: what’s safe

You can learn a lot 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.
About our storm damage roof report in Belmont
Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies by policy. Your policy document sets out its own definition. We do not decide whether a storm met that test. Our part is recording the damage to your roof and its likely cause. The report includes photos of each area of damage, and you decide what to send. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We survey chimney stacks, slate and tile slopes and flashings, and people most often book us about damaged gutters and fascias and lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles.
In a London flat, water can travel some way before it shows. Tracing it back matters, both for dealing with the cause and for any insurance claim. In Belmont, we inspect what we can reach safely and are given access to. It is useful to know when the water appears and in what weather.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Belmont?
A storm frequently finds a roof’s existing weak spots. Nail fatigue, eroded ridge mortar and tired flashings can all fail in high winds. We record recent damage alongside older defects.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Flat roof edges peeled back
If you live near a park such as Canons Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- What experience they bring
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Their insurance cover
What we do, step by step
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. In Belmont, visits are available on weekdays and at weekends. London parking is often by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you, and to clear a path to the loft hatch. Upstairs rooms at the back are useful too, as they often give the best view of a rear addition.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
How to book
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
Advice
Why act early in Belmont
A few slipped slates can soon lead to wet timbers. Getting it recorded and repaired sooner is typically better. In Belmont, as across London, an overflowing gutter soaks the wall below, which can lead to damp inside. A blocked outlet ignored for a winter or two can mean damp walls inside.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Belmont
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
Before and after the survey
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Don’t go onto the roof to take pictures
The report is emailed to you, and you decide what to send to your insurer. We do not deal with the insurer on your behalf.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
Storm damage roof reports in Belmont: local notes
In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older 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. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. Headstone Manor, about 1.6 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Belmont. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Harrow & Wealdstone station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Anselm, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

Common questions in Belmont
How do I find out if my home in Belmont is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is 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.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Belmont?
It rarely stops a survey, but it’s worth planning. Tell us what parking is available nearby, and the visit is planned around it.
Is Belmont in your area?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and that includes Belmont.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
It depends on your policy. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Your policy document will say.
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 loft space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Belmont?
It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we will take it from there. We survey seven days a week.
