Storm damage roof reports in Coney Hall

Storm damage roof report in Coney Hall

After a storm, safety comes first. Photograph the damage from ground level or a window, and never climb up. Emergency temporary protection, such as covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. We survey flat roofs, slate and tile slopes and ridges and hips, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from fallen branches or debris and damaged gutters and fascias.

In a London flat, water can travel some way before it shows. Tracing it back matters, both for dealing with the cause and for any insurance claim. We look at what we are given access to in Coney Hall, inside and out. Tell us when the water shows, and in what kind of weather.

The Standard Survey adds 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.

Before and after the survey

A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:

  • Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
  • Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
  • Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
  • Tell your insurer about the damage promptly

For repair costs, ask a roofer to quote. They can use our report to see what needs doing.

Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.

Coney Hall questions

Does a conservation area affect roof work in Coney Hall?

The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.

Can parking be tricky for a visit in Coney Hall?

Parking in Coney Hall, 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 when booking.

Which days do you carry out surveys?

We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.

Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?

We cannot say whether a claim will be paid. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.

Are you loss adjusters?

No. We are not loss adjusters and do not act for you with the insurer. We provide an independent record of the roof for you to send to your insurer.

How do I book a survey in Coney Hall?

To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.

How long is the visit?

That depends on the size and shape of the roof; most visits take about one to two hours for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. The report is sent afterwards by email.

What we do, step by step

Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. All in, the survey normally takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a London conversion, the way into the roof space is often from a communal landing or the top flat. If that applies to your building, it helps to agree access with the neighbours or the managing agent first. Otherwise, the visit in Coney Hall runs like any other.

  1. You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
  2. Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
  3. The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
  4. We record fresh damage and older defects.
  5. You receive the written report with photos.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
  • If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
  • Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

What we look for on each type of roof

Chimney stacks

Flashings around stacks can lift in strong winds. We photograph any we find.

Ridge and hip tiles

Ridge and hip tiles take the full force of the wind. The survey notes loose, cracked or missing ridge and hip tiles.

Leave it or get it looked at?

Leaving storm damage can let water into the roof space and rooms below. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. In Coney Hall, as across London, an overflowing gutter soaks the wall below. A blocked outlet ignored for a winter or two can mean damp walls inside.

Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.

What we are asked to look at in Coney Hall

When you claim, your insurer may ask for evidence of the damage and its cause. A written report with photos gives you something clear to pass on. The decision still rests with the insurer.

A survey can pick up problems such as:

  • Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
  • New damp or leaks inside
  • Ridge tiles that have come loose
  • Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks

If you run a business near The Mall, a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running.

Choosing a roof surveyor

  • Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
  • Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
  • How they plan to inspect the roof safely
  • Is VAT included in the price?

What’s in a roof survey

Storm damage roof reports in Coney Hall: local notes

Outer London has plenty of Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. Addington Palace, about 1.2 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Coney Hall. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.

Landlords with a home close to West Wickham station may find that a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. Anyone responsible for a site like Forest Academy will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

DIY checks: what’s safe

The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.

Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
