Storm damage roof report in College Park: what you get
After a storm, it helps to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. Our report shows the damage in photos and says whether it looks like storm damage, wear and tear, or a mix. We are not loss adjusters, and we cannot say whether a claim will be paid. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. If you’re worried about damaged flat roof membrane and gutters pulled loose in the wind, we can find out what’s behind it.
Many London homes are well over a century old and their roofs have been patched more than once, so a new leak can be the latest sign of wear rather than a single event. Telling wear from a one-off event matters, because insurers normally exclude wear and tear. A careful look in College Park tells the two apart where the evidence allows. Photographs and a written account give you something specific to show an insurer, a landlord or a roofer.
It isn’t only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

It can be, so it is useful to let us know about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when booking. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. It does not include repair costs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for those.

It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. You will then get the report by email, on the timescale of your package.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It varies by policy. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but check your own wording.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in College Park
Insurers often want evidence of what has been damaged and why. An independent report gives you a clear record to send. Your insurer still makes the decision.
Problems we come across often include:
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Water coming in after the storm
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
If you live near a park such as Little Wormwood Scrubs, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys.

College Park roofs and the weather
Leighton House, about 2.6 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around College Park. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Many homes in inner London are Victorian and Edwardian terraces, often with Welsh slate roofs. Many have butterfly roofs draining to a central valley gutter, with parapet walls and gutters hidden behind them. 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’s detailed.
Anyone responsible for a site like Kenmont Primary School will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. If you own a rental within reach of Willesden Junction station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away.

What you can safely check yourself
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Different roofs, different checks
Ridge and hip tiles
The ridge and hips are among the most exposed parts of a roof. We record any that have lifted, cracked or come away.
Lead flashings
Flashings with older defects often fail in high winds. We record what looks recent and what looks older.
How it works
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect about one to two hours for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In converted houses and mansion blocks, the loft hatch is often on a shared landing. If that applies to your building, it helps to agree access with the neighbours or the managing agent first. Everything else is planned around the building, not the postcode.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before we arrive
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Tell us where we can park nearby
How to book
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or send us an email to find out.
