Tips that help
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can

You will need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. They can use our report to see what needs doing.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
Storm damage roof report in Broadfields Estate: what you get
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: were there storm conditions on or around the date, is the damage consistent with a storm, and was the storm the main cause. Our report focuses on the second and third points. Weather records for the date are for you or your insurer to check. Typical surveys look at damage from fallen branches or debris and slates and tiles blown off the roof, on flat roofs, slate and tile slopes and gutters and fascias.
In London, leaks often start somewhere hidden: a butterfly roof’s central valley gutter, a parapet gutter, a chimney flashing or a flat roof over a back addition. For a leak or storm damage in Broadfields Estate, those hidden details are where the inspection begins. A hidden gutter that overflows can send water a long way before it shows.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Common questions in Broadfields Estate
Do you cover Broadfields Estate?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Broadfields Estate as anywhere else.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Broadfields Estate?
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.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. If it is safe, take photos before it goes on. We can record the damage in our report.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Our price is 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.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Stay off the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
Landlords, agents and building managers in Broadfields Estate and across Greater London can book any of our surveys. For a price for a let property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
When to book a survey in Broadfields Estate
When you claim, your insurer may ask for evidence of the damage and its cause. A written report with photos gives you something clear to pass on. The decision still rests with the insurer.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Damaged flat roof membrane
The streets around a church such as St Andrew are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

Storm damage roof reports around Broadfields Estate
The wider area around Broadfields Estate has a long history of building, with Headstone Manor about 4.1 miles south-west. 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. In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
Landlords with a home close to Mill Hill Broadway station may find that a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. If you live near a park like Edgwarebury Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Broadfields Estate is about 1 mile north of Edgware, in Greater London. If you are in Broadfields Estate, booking works exactly as it does anywhere else: a call or an email, a price, then a date. We cover towns and villages across Greater London. We also survey roofs in London.

What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. It typically takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In Broadfields Estate, as in much of London, plenty of 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 you book.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We check the roof from wherever it is safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Advice
Why it’s worth a survey now in Broadfields Estate
If a roofer needs to make the roof safe, take photos first if you can do so safely from ground level. Those photos show the damage as it was. London’s older roofs frequently have bitumen felt underlay or none at all, so once the slates or flashings let water past, little stops it reaching ceilings. Left alone, that means wet timbers and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the roof fault itself.
