About our storm damage roof report in Bulphan
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Photograph the damage from ground level or a window, and never climb up. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. We survey ridges and hips, gutters and fascias and chimney stacks, and the problems we are asked to look at most are damaged pots on the stack and lead lifted at abutments.
Water getting into a London home often comes from a detail you can’t see from the street: the valley gutter in a butterfly roof, a parapet gutter, a chimney flashing or the flat roof over a rear extension. Whether you’re tracing a leak or recording storm damage in Bulphan, those are among the first places to look. A hidden gutter that overflows can send water a long way before it shows.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later.

The survey, step by step
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit typically takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. From the street, a London terrace usually shows only its front slope or parapet, so in Bulphan we work round the house, using the street, the windows, the loft and any safe vantage point behind it. Shared stairs or a basement flat? Let us know who holds the keys.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
How to prepare
- Keep pets in another room
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
Getting a price
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email to find out.

- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind

Storm damage roof reports in Bulphan: local notes
Bulphan is within about 5 miles of the coast, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. In a coastal gale, rain is driven sideways into laps, verges and flashings, while salt slowly corrodes metal fixings and flashings. In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. If your home in Bulphan is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
As a London address, Bulphan can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway when booking, as a space near the door can’t be promised. For businesses in and around places such as Ealing Broadway Centre, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters.

Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when booking and we will plan the survey around it.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed ahead of time. We survey seven days a week, which can make access easier.
Tips that help
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
You will need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
Bulphan: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for a survey in Bulphan?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when booking. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Bulphan, take more of a battering?
It can do. Bulphan is within about 5 miles of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we’re given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Do you look in the loft space?
Typically, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access; we’ll agree the details as you book.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. It does not include repair costs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for those.
