Storm damage roof report in Brook Green, Greater London
Wondering about the roof at a property in Brook Green? We carry out storm damage roof reports in Brook Green and across Greater London, with plain-English findings.
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
Before and after the survey
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. If that doesn’t resolve it, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
Storm damage roof report in Brook Green: what you get
We inspect the roof from wherever it can safely be seen: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there’s access, and the roof itself where that is safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. If part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. You get a written report with photographs to give to your insurer. We survey slate and tile slopes, flashings and ridges and hips, and common reasons people get in touch are broken or displaced guttering and flashings pulled away from walls or stacks.
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. Insurers usually exclude wear and tear, so it’s useful to know whether damage is old or new. That is as true in Brook Green as anywhere in London. A written record with photos helps you explain what was found to whoever deals with it next.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

The survey, step by step
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there. For a visit in Brook Green, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor the property is on and how to get into the loft. On the day, the roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from inside the loft space and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the loft space where it is safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- The findings are written up with photographs for you to share with your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Check pets are kept safely away
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent

Common roof problems in Brook Green
Gusts work at anything on a roof that’s loose or exposed. Rain can then blow in where slates or tiles have gone. People usually call us after a storm, once they’ve noticed damage or a leak.
We are frequently asked to look at:
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Water coming in after the storm
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of Saint Mary, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- What exactly goes into their report
- What insurance they carry
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- What the survey won’t cover
How we price storm damage roof reports
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Roof area
- Which survey package you book
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
Getting in touch
These details help when you get in touch:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
To book a survey, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know the address and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price before booking.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Common questions in Brook Green
Is Brook Green in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Brook Green as anywhere else.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Brook Green?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It varies by policy. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but your policy sets the actual test.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We aren’t loss adjusters and don’t act for you with the insurer. We provide an independent record of the roof for you to send to your insurer.
What we can’t see
It’s useful to know what a survey will not do before you book:
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
- The outcome of a claim
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll point you to the right survey before you book. The full list of what we check.
What we check
- Gutters and fascias

Leaks and storm damage in Brook Green
The wider area around Brook Green has a long history of building, with Kelmscott House about 0.8 miles south-west. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. Welsh slate on Victorian and Edwardian terraces is a familiar sight across inner London. Many have butterfly roofs draining to a central valley gutter, with parapet walls and gutters hidden behind them. Shared chimney stacks, party-wall upstands and lead work come with this kind of house. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Hammersmith Broadway, a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running. Trees in and around St Paul's Gardens shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
