FAQs for Cubitt Town
Is Cubitt Town in the area you cover?
Yes, Cubitt Town is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Cubitt Town?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when booking. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
What if the roof was already worn?
Wear and tear is not normally covered. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. We can record the damage in our report.
About our storm damage roof report in Cubitt Town
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. We survey slate and tile slopes, ridges and hips and flashings, and common reasons people get in touch are flat roof edges peeled back and damaged ridges and hips.
London’s Victorian and Edwardian roofs have often been repaired many times, 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 usually exclude wear and tear. That is as true in Cubitt Town as anywhere in London. Photographs and a written account give you something specific to show an insurer, a landlord or a roofer.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

What we are asked to look at in Cubitt Town
Falling trees and branches can damage roofs in high winds. We record the damage and where it is, backed up with photos.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- New damp or leaks inside
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Damaged pots on the stack
If you live near a park such as Mudchute Park and Farm, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- How long the report takes to arrive
Should I look at the roof myself first?
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
How the survey changes by roof type
Ridge and hip tiles
Worn mortar under ridge tiles can let them lift in a storm. We note whether the mortar looks recently broken or long worn.
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles can lift, crack or blow off in high winds. We record which are damaged and where.
What happens on the day
We will ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes an hour or two for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. 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. Otherwise, the visit in Cubitt Town runs like any other.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Getting ready for the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Cubitt Town
Welsh slate on Victorian and Edwardian terraces is a familiar sight across inner London. A butterfly roof with a central valley gutter, tucked behind a parapet wall, is common on these houses. In a house like that, shared stacks, party-wall upstands and lead flashings all need looking at as far as they can be seen. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. With Queen's House about 1.1 miles south, Cubitt Town sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
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. For landlords with property near Canary Wharf station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away.
