How a storm damage roof report works in Bexleyheath
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It isn’t a repair quote and does not include repair costs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for that. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. Common reasons to book are damaged ridges and hips and roofs hit by falling trees, on gutters and fascias, flashings and chimney stacks.
In London, leaks often start somewhere hidden: the valley gutter in a butterfly roof, a parapet gutter, a chimney flashing or the flat roof over a rear extension. Whether you are tracing a leak or recording storm damage in Bexleyheath, those are among the first places to look. Water from a hidden gutter can run along joists and show up a room or two away.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Wind, rain and roofs in Bexleyheath
Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. 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. With Red House about 0.4 miles south-west, Bexleyheath sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
Living close to Danson Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. Take a building like Upland Primary School: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. The streets around a church such as Trinity Baptist Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

How the survey changes by roof type
Clay and concrete tiles
Strong gusts can lift and break tiles. The report shows each damaged area.
Slate roofs
Broken slates and slates that have slid out of place are common after a storm. We photograph and describe each one.
What this survey can’t tell you
No survey can tell you everything, and it is better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- Estimates of repair costs
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.

Questions from Bexleyheath
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bexleyheath?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. 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.
Do you cover Bexleyheath?
Yes, Bexleyheath is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Only from the ground or from windows. Don’t use a ladder or go onto the roof. Binoculars can help you see damage from below and we will inspect the rest from safe positions.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Bexleyheath?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them.
What else we do in Bexleyheath
How the survey works
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect what can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey usually takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In converted houses and mansion blocks, the loft hatch is often on a shared landing. If that applies to your building, it helps to agree access with the neighbours or the managing agent first. Otherwise, the visit in Bexleyheath runs like any other.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We check the roof from wherever it is safe.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking near the property
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared

Related advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking, as it helps us focus the survey.
