Storm damage roof reports near Brondesbury

Why get it checked now?

Damage left open lets in more rain. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. In Brondesbury, as across London, an overflowing gutter soaks the wall below. A small blockage left for a few winters becomes a damp problem.

There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Storm damage roof report in Brondesbury

Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies by policy. 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. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. The claim decision rests with your insurer. We’re frequently asked to look into lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and gutters pulled loose in the wind, on gutters and fascias, flashings and flat roofs.

In a London flat, water can travel some way before it shows. That makes the source hard to pin down, and finding it matters for whoever has to deal with it. In Brondesbury, we inspect what we can reach safely and are given access to. It is useful to know when the water appears and in what weather.

We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

The survey, step by step

We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes an hour or two at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In Brondesbury, visits are available on weekdays and at weekends. 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.

  1. You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
  2. Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
  3. The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it is safe.
  4. We record fresh damage and older defects.
  5. The report, with photos, is emailed to you.

For landlords and managing agents

Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.

Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photographs included.

What we’re asked to look at in Brondesbury

Falling trees and branches can damage roofs in high winds. The report shows what was hit and the damage caused, backed up with photos.

People typically book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:

  • Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
  • Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
  • Ridge tiles that have come loose
  • Stains appearing after strong winds

Landlords with a home close to Brondesbury station may find that finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens after the report arrives
  • Is VAT included in the price?
  • Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
  • Will they check the loft as well as the outside?

Common questions in Brondesbury

Is my home in Brondesbury listed or in a conservation area?

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.

Do you cover Brondesbury?

Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Brondesbury is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details.

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. It doesn’t include repair costs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for those.

What if the roof was already worn?

Wear and tear is typically excluded from home insurance. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so you know what the roof shows. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.

Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?

Each policy has its own definition. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but check your own wording.

How should I record storm damage myself?

Stay off the roof. Take photos from ground level or from windows. Record the date and any damage inside as well.

Can you survey a shared roof?

Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Brondesbury

The wider area around Brondesbury has a long history of building, with Fenton House about 1.5 miles north-east. 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. Many homes in inner London are Victorian and Edwardian terraces, often with Welsh slate roofs. From the street you may see only a parapet, with a butterfly roof and a valley gutter behind it draining to the back. Lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are typical of these houses, if yours is one of them. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.

Homes near green spaces such as Kilburn Grange Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. For an older house near a landmark such as Christ Church, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports

Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:

  • Roof area
  • Commercial roofs and larger buildings
  • Which survey package you book
  • How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages

Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

Getting in touch

You do not need to know any roofing terms. It is enough to tell us:

  • The style of property, from a terrace to a block
  • Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
  • Any marks or damp showing indoors
  • Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work

You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, phone 07833 053749 or email us.

What this survey cannot tell you

Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:

  • Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
  • The outcome of a claim
  • Your insurer’s view of the claim

If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will point you to the right survey. The full list of what we check.
