How a storm damage roof report works in Crooked Billet
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from ground level, from windows and higher points, from the loft space and from the roof where it’s safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. We note any part we couldn’t see. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. Common reasons to book are lead lifted at abutments and roofs hit by falling trees, across ridges and hips, gutters and fascias and flat roofs.
In converted houses and blocks across London, water from a roof can run a long way before it shows on a ceiling. Tracing it back matters, both for dealing with the cause and for any insurance claim. In Crooked Billet, we inspect what we can reach safely and are given access to. Tell us when the water shows, and in what kind of weather.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Common roof problems in Crooked Billet
Landlords and managing agents book reports to keep a record for owners and insurers. The report can be shared with owners, tenants or insurers.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- New damp or leaks inside
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
Landlords with a home close to Raynes Park station may find that finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
Before booking anyone
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- When you’ll get the report
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
What happens if roof problems are left?
Many policies expect damage to be reported promptly. Check the wording and tell your insurer as soon as you can. An independent report can follow. Any roof job in Crooked Billet means planning around parking, neighbours and access. That’s a good reason to find problems early, while there is time to plan.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.

What we cannot see
No survey can tell you everything, and it’s better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording

Leaks and storm damage in Crooked Billet
Historic houses such as Southside House, about 0.5 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Crooked Billet goes. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. 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.
Shop and office owners around Southside Wandsworth may find that finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down. Take an older house close to Christ Church: water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
FAQs for Crooked Billet
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Crooked Billet?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Crooked Billet?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway as you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Is Crooked Billet in your area?
Yes. Crooked Billet is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Crooked Billet?
Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
How it works
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, 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. In a London area like Crooked Billet, the main things to sort out are parking and access: let us know about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor the property is on and how to get into the loft. We then look at what can safely be seen from the ground, windows, the loft and, where it’s safe, the roof itself.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
