Storm damage roof report in Broom Hill: what you get
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 cannot say whether a claim will be paid. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. If you’ve noticed slipped or missing slates or tiles and roofs hit by falling trees, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In converted houses and blocks across London, water from a roof can run a long way before it shows on a ceiling. Tracing it back matters, both for dealing with the cause and for any insurance claim. We check what we are given access to in Broom Hill, inside and out. It helps to know when the water appears and in what weather.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Broom Hill roofs and the weather
Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. About 3.7 miles north-west lies Bromley Palace, a reminder of how long the area around Broom Hill has been built on. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
For businesses in and around places like The Mall, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down. Take a building like Perry Hall Primary School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

What affects the price in Broom Hill
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The shape of the roof and its details
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
Every price we give includes VAT. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.
Booking your survey
There’s no need for technical words. Just let us know:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- The address and postcode of the property
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email, let us know about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out with the most urgent first where relevant, which helps with budgets and planning.
Why it is worth a survey now in Broom Hill
A clear, independent record helps you explain the damage to your insurer. It records the damage and what seems to have caused it, alongside any photos you took yourself. Behind a London parapet, a blocked gutter can sit full of water without anyone seeing it. When the stain finally shows, the damage underneath is often older than it looks.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, from £400 with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.
What you get with us
- Drones and thermal imaging where applicable
- 98% customer satisfaction
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed
What we look for on each type of roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Older tiles held only by nibs, without nails or clips, can lift more easily. We note what we can see of how tiles are fixed.
Lead flashings
Lifted flashings let rain run behind them into the roof. The report records the flashing and any damp inside.
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Broom Hill?
Roofs that were already worn are more likely to suffer in a storm. Nail fatigue, eroded ridge mortar and tired flashings can all fail in high winds. Our report notes both the storm damage and any older wear.
Common reasons to book include:
- Water coming in after the storm
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
If you let a flat or house near Orpington station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

Broom Hill questions
Do you carry out roof surveys in Broom Hill?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Broom Hill as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Broom Hill?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway as you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. If it is safe, take photos before it goes on. We can record the damage in our report.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Wear and tear is not usually covered. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. Your insurer decides the claim.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Please do not climb onto the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We aren’t loss adjusters and do not act for you with the insurer. We give you an independent report of the damage, which you can pass to your insurer.
How it works
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes an hour or two for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. If you have questions on the day, just ask. In converted houses and mansion blocks, the loft hatch is often on a shared landing. If that applies to your building, it helps to agree access with the neighbours or the managing agent first. Otherwise, the visit in Broom Hill runs like any other.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We view the roof from wherever it can be seen safely, including the loft where there is access.
- The damage is recorded with photos, area by area.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- The findings are written up with photographs for you to share with your insurer.
How to prepare
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
