FAQs for Castle Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Castle Green?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Castle Green?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available as you book.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. Repair costs are not part of the report.
What if the roof was already worn?
Wear and tear is not typically covered. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. Your insurer decides the claim.
Will you check the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Just say which days work for you.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Castle Green
The Financial Ombudsman looks at three things when it considers a storm damage complaint: were there storm conditions on or around the date, is the damage consistent with a storm, and was the storm the main cause. Our report focuses on the second and third points. You or your insurer can check the weather for the date. If you’ve noticed ridge tiles that have come loose and lead lifted at abutments, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on chimney stacks, gutters and fascias and ridges and hips alike.
In converted houses and blocks across London, water from a roof can run a long way before it shows on a ceiling, sometimes in a different flat from the one below the defect. That makes the source hard to pin down, and finding it matters for whoever has to deal with it. We check what we’re given access to in Castle Green, inside and out. Tell us when the water shows, and in what kind of weather.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Useful tips for Castle Green property owners
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Check your policy for how to report damage
Questions about the findings are always welcome. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.
Leave it or get it looked at?
The sooner the damage is recorded, the clearer the evidence. Further storms and quick fixes can make the picture less clear. Many older London roofs have only old felt under the slates, or no underlay 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.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.

Roof by roof
Slate roofs
After strong winds, we often see cracked and slipped slates. Each area is photographed and described.
Lead flashings
When flashings lift, water can get behind them. The report records the flashing and any damp inside.
How it works
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. London terraces rarely offer a view of the whole roof from one spot, so in Castle Green 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 when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the loft space where it’s safe.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- The findings are written up with photos for you to share with your insurer.
How to prepare
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Keep pets in another room
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Castle Green
Eastbury Manor House, about 1 mile west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Castle Green. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
Anyone responsible for a site like Jo Richardson Community School will know that tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. For businesses in and around places like Gallions Reach Shopping Park, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Castle Green?
Some people book because a claim has been questioned. An independent report gives you another view of the roof. We cannot say whether the decision will change.
Common reasons to book include:
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Damaged flat roof membrane
Homes near green spaces such as Mayesbrook Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
Before booking any roof surveyor

- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
