How we price storm damage roof reports
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The size of the roof
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Helping us price your survey
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It helps to include:
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Brent Cross
We inspect the roof from wherever it can safely be seen: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there’s access, and the roof itself where that’s safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. We note any part we couldn’t see. You get a report with photos to give to your insurer. If you’ve noticed holes or cracks caused by debris and water coming in after the storm, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
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. We look at what we’re given access to in Brent Cross, inside and out. It helps to know when the water appears and in what weather.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Storm damage roof reports in Brent Cross: local notes
Heath House, about 1.9 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Brent Cross. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Outer London has a good many Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs in 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.
If you live near a park such as Clarefield Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. For hotels and guest houses around Brent Cross, a roof problem found early is far less disruptive than one found by a guest, so it’s worth knowing the roof’s condition. For businesses in and around places such as Brent Cross Shopping Centre, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down.
Brent Cross is about 2 miles north-west of West Hampstead, in Greater London. From houses to flats and shops in Brent Cross, the roof can be surveyed on a weekday or at the weekend. Our area takes in places right across Greater London, large and small. London is in our area too.

Brent Cross: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Brent Cross?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Brent Cross?
Yes, Brent Cross is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll explain what’s needed.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Larger or more complex roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs are not included, so ask a roofer to quote.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Brent Cross?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Insurers normally exclude wear and tear. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Knowing whether older wear played a part helps you understand your position. Our report gives an honest view of both, so you know what the roof shows. In a London terrace or conversion, a roof defect rarely stays your problem alone: a blocked parapet gutter or slipped slate can let water into the flat below or the house next door. Finding it early keeps the work smaller.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photos included.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.
How the survey changes by roof type
Slate roofs
After strong winds, we frequently see cracked and slipped slates. We photograph and describe each one.
Chimney stacks
Stacks with existing defects tend to suffer more in storms. Our report notes recent damage and older defects.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
How it works
We work from the outside in: 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 at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Many London properties are flats or terraces with no side access, so rear slopes are viewed from windows, the loft or, where a flight is allowed, by drone. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents as you book.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- 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
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
