Storm damage roof report in Cambridge Heath, Greater London

How a storm damage roof report works in Cambridge Heath
What counts as a storm depends on your policy, though many use gusts of about 55 mph. Check your own policy wording. Whether the weather met it is for your insurer. We record the damage and what seems to have caused it. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. If you’ve noticed gaps where slates or tiles have gone and lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles, we can find out what’s behind it, on ridges and hips, slate and tile slopes and chimney stacks alike.
In London, leaks frequently start somewhere hidden: the valley gutter in a butterfly roof, a parapet gutter, a chimney flashing or the flat roof over a rear extension. For a leak or storm damage in Cambridge Heath, those hidden details are where the inspection begins. Water from a hidden gutter can run along joists and show up a room or two away.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

- Negotiating a claim settlement
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or email us and we will point you to the right survey. What our survey covers.

Roof by roof
Chimney stacks
Older stacks with worn pointing or cracked flaunching are more likely to suffer. Our report notes recent damage and older defects.
Slate roofs
In high winds, slates can slip or go, often where nails have rusted. We record which slates have moved and any signs of older nail fatigue.
What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- How big the roof is
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Height and safe access
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.
What to let us know when you get in touch
A little information up front helps. It’s useful to include:
- Anything about access we should know
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The kind of building and roof involved
- The address and postcode of the property

Surveys for landlords and agents in Cambridge Heath
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photographs included.
Cambridge Heath roofs and the weather
About 1 mile north lies Sutton House, a reminder of how long the area around Cambridge Heath has been built on. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. Close to the centre of London, a great many houses are Victorian or Edwardian terraces, many of them roofed in Welsh slate. Behind many of their parapets sit butterfly roofs and valley gutters that cannot be seen from the pavement. In a house like that, shared stacks, party-wall upstands and lead flashings all need looking at as far as they can be seen. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near St James-the-Less, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. Trees in and around Haggerston Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. For landlords with property near Cambridge Heath station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
Cambridge Heath is about 1 mile north-east of Shoreditch, in Greater London. Whether the building in Cambridge Heath is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, we can survey the roof on a weekday or at the weekend. Our Greater London coverage includes Cambridge Heath.

Cambridge Heath: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Cambridge Heath is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Cambridge Heath?
Normally it is manageable with a little notice. Let us know the parking rules on your street and we will work around them.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Cambridge Heath?
Just call 07833 053749 or email us with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Stay off the roof. Take photos from ground level or from windows. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so you know what the roof shows. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Damage left open lets in more rain. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. Emergency temporary protection should be arranged with a roofer. Any roof job in Cambridge Heath means planning around parking, neighbours and access. That’s a good reason to find problems early, while there’s time to plan.

How the survey works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In a London area like Cambridge Heath, 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.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the roof space where it’s safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
How to prepare
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
