Storm Damage Roof Report in Camden Town
An experienced roof surveyor for storm damage roof reports in Camden Town. More than 20 years and over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Damaged pots on the stack
The survey, step by step
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there is safe access. All told, expect about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a London conversion, the way into the loft space is frequently from a communal landing or the top flat. If that applies to your building, it’s useful to agree access with the neighbours or the managing agent first. Everything else is planned around the building, not the postcode.
- 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 loft space where it is safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent

Advice
Storm damage roof report in Camden Town
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. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. If you’ve noticed torn or lifted flat roof coverings and lead lifted at abutments, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
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 Camden Town, 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.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Leave it or get it looked at?
A few slipped slates can soon lead to wet timbers. Acting quickly normally means less damage overall. In Camden Town, as in much of London, water from a roof defect can reach a neighbour’s home as easily as yours: a blocked parapet gutter or slipped slate can let water into the flat below or the house next door. Dealing with it early is far less disruptive.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included.

What this survey can’t tell you
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:

- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes

FAQs for Camden Town
Is Camden Town in the area you cover?
Yes, Camden Town is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Camden Town as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How do I find out if my home in Camden Town is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you contact us and we will explain what’s needed.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
How long does the survey take?
It normally takes an hour or two for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. The written report follows by email.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. 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.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when you book.

Practical tips
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
You’ll need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
Wind, rain and roofs in Camden Town
Inner London’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces often have Welsh slate roofs. A butterfly roof with a central valley gutter, tucked behind a parapet wall, is common on these houses. Shared chimney stacks, party-wall upstands and lead work come with this kind of house. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. With Winfield House about 1.2 miles south-west, Camden Town sits in an area with a long building history. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
For landlords with property near Camden Road station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Our Lady Roman Catholic Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. Homes near green spaces such as Lewis Cubitt Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book and it will help the survey.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
