Storm damage roof report in Brompton: what you get
What counts as a storm depends on your policy, though many use gusts of about 55 mph. Your policy document sets out its own definition. Whether the weather met it is for your insurer. We record the damage and what seems to have caused it. The report includes photos of each area of damage, and you decide what to send. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. If you’re worried about gaps where slates or tiles have gone and water coming in after the storm, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
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. A careful look in Brompton tells the two apart where the evidence allows. A written record with photos helps you explain what was found to whoever deals with it next.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Brompton roofs and the weather
Carlyle's House, about 0.8 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Brompton. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Welsh slate on Victorian and Edwardian terraces is a familiar sight across inner London. Behind many of their parapets sit butterfly roofs and valley gutters that cannot be seen from the pavement. In a house like that, shared stacks, party-wall upstands and lead flashings all need looking at as far as they can be seen. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Hellenic College of London, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Simon Zelotes, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

What affects the price in Brompton
Survey packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets

- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The size of the roof

Helping us price your survey
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- What made you get in touch
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know the cost up front. Prices start from £150, including VAT. To book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What you can safely check yourself
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
Different roofs, different checks
Lead flashings
Wind can peel back flashings at abutments and stacks. Loose or damaged flashings are photographed and noted.
Clay and concrete tiles
Older tiles held only by nibs, without nails or clips, can lift more easily. We record what we can see of the fixings.
What this survey can’t tell you
Our survey isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Your insurer’s view of the claim
- Areas we can’t see safely
- A decision on your insurance claim
If you’re not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.

The survey, step by step
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. The whole visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Surveys in Brompton can be booked for any day of the week. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a nearby bay, and to clear a path to the loft hatch. A back bedroom window can be the best vantage point for a rear addition, so we may ask to use one.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Before the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
Book a survey
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or use the contact form, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Advice
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Brompton?
Storms do not only affect pitched roofs. Wind can lift edges and tear coverings, and blocked outlets can leave water ponding after heavy rain. We record what we find on flat and pitched roofs alike.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Water coming in after the storm
- Lead lifted at abutments
If you let a flat or house near London Victoria station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away.
Before booking anyone
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- What follow-up you get after the report
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
Brompton questions
Do you cover Brompton?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Brompton is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details.
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Brompton?
It depends on the street. Where there are permit zones, a visitor permit or nearby pay-and-display bay works well, and a driveway is even better.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
That is not something we can promise. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Stay off the roof. Take photos from the ground or from windows. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we are given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
There’s no single figure. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Your policy document will say.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
