Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Bowes Park
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Falling branches can cause damage too. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. If you’re worried about flat roof edges peeled back and damaged gutters and fascias, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Many London homes are well over a century old and their roofs have been patched more than once. Insurers normally exclude wear and tear, so it’s useful to know whether damage is old or new. A careful look in Bowes 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.
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 it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Bowes Park
Some people book because a claim has been questioned. An independent report gives you another view of the roof. What happens next is up to the insurer.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Water coming in after the storm
- Loose or torn flashings
- Broken or displaced guttering
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Trinity Primary Academy, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.
What to check before booking
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Their insurance cover
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Whether you get a written report with photos
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.
Letting agents and landlords in Bowes Park book surveys as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photographs.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A few slipped slates can soon lead to wet timbers. Acting quickly usually means less damage overall. In a London terrace or conversion, a roof defect rarely stays your problem alone: failed flashings and blocked valley gutters can send water into more than one home. Finding it early keeps the work smaller.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Why book with us
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Over 5,000 surveys carried out

Common questions in Bowes Park
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bowes Park?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Bowes Park?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway as you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s 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.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Tell us about it as you book and we’ll explain what’s needed.
What’s the best way to book?
Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
There’s no single figure. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Your policy document will say.

Bowes Park roofs and the weather
Further from the centre, London’s housing takes in interwar semis with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles as well as slate-roofed terraces. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. The wider area around Bowes Park has a long history of building, with Bruce Castle about 1.7 miles east. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near St Mary's Greek Orthodox Church, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. For businesses in and around places such as The Mall Wood Green, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters.

How it works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, from ground level, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where applicable. The survey typically takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In Bowes Park, as in much of London, plenty of properties are flats or terraces without side access, so the back of the roof is often seen from upstairs windows, from inside or, where a flight is allowed, from the air. If the building has a managing agent or access rules, let us know as you book.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Before we arrive
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
Arrange a survey
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and give us a few details about the property and we will suggest the right survey. The price is agreed up front.

How the survey changes by roof type
Slate roofs
Broken slates and slates that have slid out of place are common after a storm. Each area is photographed and described.
Lead flashings
Lifted flashings let rain run behind them into the roof. We note where this has happened and any damp inside.
