Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Bishopsgate
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. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. The claim decision rests with your insurer. If you are worried about flashings pulled away from walls or stacks and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind, we can find out what’s behind it.
Somewhere as small as Bishopsgate, older roofs have often been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Storm damage roof reports in Bishopsgate: local notes
In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. Historic houses such as Frogmore House, about 2.5 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Bishopsgate goes. 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.
Take a building like St John's Beaumont School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Royal Chapel of All Saints, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

Prices for storm damage roof reports in Bishopsgate
Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Which survey package you book
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
What to tell us when you contact us
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
If you’re buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you are ready.
FAQs for Bishopsgate
Do you cover smaller places like Bishopsgate?
Yes, Bishopsgate is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Bishopsgate?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Bishopsgate is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from the ground, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
When to book a survey in Bishopsgate
Others book after an insurer has queried a claim. You get an independent record of what the roof shows. We can’t say whether the decision will change.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
If you live near a park like Windsor Great Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
What to check before booking
- What exactly goes into their report
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- What happens after the report arrives
What we do, step by step
The visit has one job: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit normally takes about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a small place like Bishopsgate, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You tell us when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there is access.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- We check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Let us know about parking near the property
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
