How we price storm damage roof reports
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The roof’s overall size
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Height and safe access
- Which survey package you book
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
What we need to know
We will normally ask about:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- What’s prompted the survey
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We will confirm the price before you book.
Storm damage roof report in Brentford: what you get
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. It sets out what is damaged, with photos, and what we think the likely cause is. It is yours to pass to your insurer. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We aren’t loss adjusters and cannot say whether a claim will be paid. If you’ve noticed loose or torn flashings and lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles, we can find out what’s behind it.
Many London homes are well over a century old and their roofs have been patched more than once, so a new leak can be the latest sign of wear rather than a single event. Telling wear from a one-off event matters, because insurers typically exclude wear and tear. That’s as true in Brentford as anywhere in London. Photos and a written account give you something specific to show an insurer, a landlord or a roofer.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

What happens if roof problems are left?
It’s useful to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Further storms and quick fixes can make the picture less clear. Any roof job in Brentford means planning around parking, neighbours and access. Knowing what’s needed early gives you time to plan it calmly, rather than in a rush after a leak.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.
What you get with us
- An independent view of the roof
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Drones and thermal imaging where applicable
- Plain-English reports with photos

Leaks and storm damage in Brentford
About 0.5 miles south-east lies Kew Palace, a reminder of how long the area around Brentford has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. 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. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
Take an older house close to Congregational Church: lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. Landlords with a home close to Brentford station may find that finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

How the survey works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take about one to two hours on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Surveys in Brentford can be booked for any day of the week. London parking is frequently by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you. A back bedroom window can be the best vantage point for a rear addition, so we may ask to use one.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the loft space where it’s safe.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
How to prepare
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at

Questions from Brentford
Is my home in Brentford listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Brentford in the area you cover?
Yes, Brentford is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Brentford as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How long is the visit?
Most surveys take an hour or two at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. We will confirm the timing as you book.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we’re given access to.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. Repair costs are not included, so ask a roofer to quote.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. Take photos from ground level first if it’s safe. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
