Broad Green 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. If your home in Broad Green is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed. Kingswood House, about 3.2 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Broad Green. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For businesses in and around places such as Centrale Croydon, a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running. Take a building like Elmwood Infant School: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. If you live near a park such as Waddon Ponds, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

Storm damage roof report in Broad Green: what you get
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from the ground, from windows and higher points, from the loft space and from the roof where it is safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. If part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. We are often asked to look into damaged ridges and hips and roofs hit by falling trees, on ridges and hips, slate and tile slopes and flashings.
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 normally exclude wear and tear. A careful look in Broad Green tells the two apart where the evidence allows. Photos and a written account give you something specific to show an insurer, a landlord or a roofer.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Broad Green: your questions answered
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Broad Green?
It depends on the street. Where there are permit zones, a visitor permit or nearby pay-and-display bay works well.
Do you cover Broad Green?
Yes, Broad Green is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Broad Green as anywhere else.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
There is no single figure. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Your policy document will say.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is not normally covered. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Tell us about it as you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Broad Green?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us the address and what you need to know. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.

Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Broad Green
Landlords, agents and building managers in Broad Green and across Greater London can book any of our surveys. For a price for a let property or a block, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photographs, useful for planning maintenance.
Practical tips
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
Once we have been, the findings are written up with photos. It sets out what is damaged, the likely cause and any signs of older wear. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
Check the roof from the ground after strong winds. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Don’t go up a ladder to look.
Why get it checked now?
Once the storm has passed, damage that looked minor can let water in for months. Getting it recorded and repaired sooner is typically better. A hidden valley or parapet gutter on a London house can hold water for weeks before anyone notices. When the stain finally shows, the damage underneath is frequently older than it looks.

What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a photo-illustrated written report, sent to you by email. As for time on site, most surveys take about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In Broad Green, as in much of London, a good many properties are flats or terraces without side access, so rear slopes are viewed from windows, the loft or, where a flight is allowed, by drone. If the building has a managing agent or access rules, let us know when booking.
- 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 the survey
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building

Advice
DIY checks: what’s safe
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
