About our storm damage roof report in Brockley Hill
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. Our report shows the damage in photos and says whether it looks like storm damage, wear and tear, or a mix. We are not loss adjusters, and we can’t say whether a claim will be paid. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. If you’re worried about cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind and slipped or missing slates or tiles, we can find out what’s behind it, on flat roofs, ridges and hips and slate and tile slopes alike.
In a London flat, water can travel some way before it shows, sometimes in a different flat from the one below the defect. Tracing it back matters, both for dealing with the cause and for any insurance claim. In Brockley Hill, we inspect what we can reach safely and are given access to. It helps to know when the water appears and in what weather.
It is not only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Wind, rain and roofs in Brockley Hill
With Headstone Manor about 3.4 miles south-west, Brockley Hill sits in an area with a long building history. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. If your home in Brockley Hill is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like London Academy, a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside. If you let a flat or house near Elstree & Borehamwood station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
Brockley Hill is about 1 mile north of Stanmore, in Greater London. Bookings from Brockley Hill are handled just like any other: a call or an email, a price, then a date. Our area takes in places right across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. London is in our area too.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Brockley Hill
Falling trees and branches can damage roofs in high winds. We record the damage and where it is, with photos.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Water coming in after the storm
Take an older house close to St Peter: the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when you book and we will plan the survey around it.
Questions from Brockley Hill
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Brockley Hill?
Parking in Brockley Hill, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available as you book.
How do I find out if my home in Brockley Hill is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you look in the loft space?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Our reports start from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. Repair costs aren’t part of the report.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when you book.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We will talk about access when you book.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
Why get it checked now?
Leaving storm damage can let water into the loft space and rooms below. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. A hidden valley or parapet gutter on a London house can hold water for weeks before anyone notices. By the time a ceiling stains, the timbers underneath may have been wet for a while.

Prices for storm damage roof reports in Brockley Hill
To price your survey, we check:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Which survey package you book
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
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.
What we need to know
We’ll typically ask about:
- The address and postcode of the property
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
Before and after the survey
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
If you are unhappy with how your insurer handles the claim, you can complain to them first. After that, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. With binoculars, you can frequently spot problems without climbing. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
What we do, step by step
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit normally takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. From the street, a London terrace usually shows only its front slope or parapet, so in Brockley Hill we work round the house, using the street, the windows, the loft and any safe vantage point behind it. If other people live in the building, tell us who can let us into the shared parts.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
