Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Brunswick Park
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 we give you is an independent record of the roof. Common reasons to book are gaps where slates or tiles have gone and damaged pots on the stack, across slate and tile slopes, gutters and fascias and ridges and hips.
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 normally exclude wear and tear. A careful look in Brunswick Park tells the two apart where the evidence allows. A written record with photographs helps you explain what was found to whoever deals with it next.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

When to book a survey in Brunswick Park
Strong winds lift loose or poorly fixed slates and tiles, ridge pieces and flashings. 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.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Loose or torn flashings
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Damaged gutters and fascias
Shop and office owners around Grand Arcade may find that water through a ceiling can damage stock and close a sales floor, so the source needs finding fast.
Before booking anyone
- Are they insured for the work?
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
For landlords and managing agents
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To discuss a number of properties, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the addresses.
Storm damage roof reports around Brunswick Park
About 3.6 miles south-east lies Bruce Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Brunswick Park has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed.
For an older house near a landmark such as Oakleigh Community Church, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. If you let a flat or house near New Southgate station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

Brunswick Park: your questions answered
Is my home in Brunswick Park listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Brunswick Park?
Parking in Brunswick Park, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. We record the damage, with photographs and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Our reports start from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs are not part of the report.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. We note both storm damage and older defects, so it is clear what we found. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Complain to your insurer first. If you’re still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. An independent report can add to your evidence, but we cannot say how it will turn out.
DIY checks: what’s safe
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
Why get it checked now?
Damage left open lets in more rain. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. London’s older roofs frequently have bitumen felt underlay or none at all, so once the slates or flashings let water past, little stops it reaching ceilings. Left unchecked, water soaks into timber and plaster and the damage spreads.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Why book with us
- An independent view of the roof
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- 98% customer satisfaction
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

What happens on the day
We check the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the loft space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey typically takes about one to two hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a London area like Brunswick Park, the main things to sort out are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor the property is on, any shared entrance and loft access. On the day, the roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from inside the loft space and from the roof where it’s safe.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Let us know about parking before the day
