Storm damage roof report in Burlington Estate: what you get
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: whether there were storm conditions around the date, whether the damage fits a storm, and whether the storm was the main cause. We record what the roof shows about the damage and its likely cause. You or your insurer can check the weather for the date. If you’ve noticed damage from fallen branches or debris and flat roof edges peeled back, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
London’s Victorian and Edwardian roofs have frequently been repaired many times. Telling wear from a one-off event matters, because insurers normally exclude wear and tear. A careful look in Burlington Estate tells the two apart where the evidence allows. Photos and a written account give you something specific to show an insurer, a landlord or a roofer.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

How the survey works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take an hour or two at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. London terraces rarely offer a view of the whole roof from one spot, so in Burlington Estate we work round the house, using the street, the windows, the loft and any safe vantage point behind it. If other people live in the building, tell us who can let us into the shared parts.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We check the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Common roof problems in Burlington Estate
Landlords and building managers often need a written record after a storm. It helps when explaining damage to a building owner or insurer.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
If you look after a building such as LITE Regal International School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- When you’ll get the report
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Will the report include photos?
- Their insurance cover
What happens if roof problems are left?
Before temporary repairs, photograph the damage from the ground if it’s safe. Those photos show the damage as it was. Blocked gutters and hoppers on London houses overflow and soak brickwork, which can lead to damp inside. A blocked outlet ignored for a winter or two can mean damp walls inside.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT.

Burlington Estate: your questions answered
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Burlington Estate?
Parking in Burlington Estate, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available as you book.
Do you cover Burlington Estate?
Yes, Burlington Estate is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Burlington Estate as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Stay off the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. Our report then records the roof.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
What this survey can’t tell you
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- A decision on your insurance claim
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book. The full list of what we check.

Storm damage roof reports around Burlington Estate
Inner London’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces often have 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. Shared chimney stacks, party-wall upstands and lead work come with this kind of house. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. With Burlington House about 0.1 miles south-east, Burlington Estate sits in an area with a long building history. 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.
Hotels and guest houses near Burlington Estate cannot easily close rooms for a leak, so it is worth knowing the roof’s condition. For landlords with property near Bond Street station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

What we look for on each type of roof
Lead flashings

Slate roofs
Slates often outlast the nails that hold them. We check whether slipped slates suggest storm damage, older wear or both.
