FAQs for Broadwater Farm
Do you carry out roof surveys in Broadwater Farm?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, and Broadwater Farm is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is my home in Broadwater Farm listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Tell us about it when you book and we’ll explain what’s needed.
How long is the visit?
It typically takes between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. We’ll confirm the timing when booking.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Broadwater Farm?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us the address and what you’d like to know. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only if it is safe. We inspect whatever is safely visible: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Broadwater Farm
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. If you are worried about damage from fallen branches or debris and slates and tiles blown off the roof, we can find out what’s behind it, on flat roofs, chimney stacks and flashings alike.
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 are given access to in Broadwater Farm, inside and out. Let us know when the water shows, and in what kind of weather.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Storm damage roof reports around Broadwater Farm
Outer London has lots of Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. Historic houses like Bruce Castle, about 0.4 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Broadwater Farm goes. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
For businesses in and around places such as The Mall Wood Green, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down. If you let a flat or house near Bruce Grove station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. If you live in an older home near St Philip the Apostle, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

The survey, step by step
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos. As for time on site, it normally takes about 1–2 hours for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a London conversion, the way into the roof space is often from a communal landing or the top flat. Where that’s the case, access needs agreeing with whoever controls that landing. Everything else is planned around the building, not the postcode.

Different roofs, different checks
Lead flashings
Flashings with older defects often fail in high winds. Our report separates fresh damage from older wear where we can.
Flat roof coverings
Debris blown onto a flat roof can puncture the covering or block outlets. We record what we find.
When you need someone else
It is a careful look at the roof, not the whole story. The main limits are:
- A decision on your insurance claim
- Negotiating a claim settlement
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll suggest the right survey before booking. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
What we look at
- Flat roofs
- Slate and tile slopes
- Ridges and hips
- Gutters and fascias
- Chimney stacks
- Flashings
What you can safely check yourself
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
It is useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
How we price storm damage roof reports
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Booking your survey
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
When you’re ready to go ahead, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date.

With an independent report, you have something specific to show your insurer. It records the damage and what seems to have caused it, alongside any photos you took yourself. 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.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, from £400 with VAT included. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
