Storm Damage Roof Report in Dagenham Green
An independent record of roof damage after a storm in Dagenham Green, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photos.
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Water coming in after the storm
- Damaged pots on the stack
The survey, step by step
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes between one and two hours for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. For a visit in Dagenham Green, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor the property is on and how to get into the loft. On the day, the roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from inside the loft space and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We check the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
How to book
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Storm damage roof report in Dagenham Green
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. We note signs of each: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems such as corroded nails or worn mortar. We give an honest view of what we see. Your insurer then decides how its policy applies. We’re frequently asked to look into lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and flashings pulled away from walls or stacks, on chimney stacks, flat roofs and flashings.
London’s Victorian and Edwardian roofs have often been repaired many times. Telling wear from a one-off event matters, because insurers usually exclude wear and tear. A careful look in Dagenham Green tells the two apart where the evidence allows. A written record with photographs helps you explain what was found to whoever deals with it next.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

What you can safely check yourself
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Dagenham Green
Others book after an insurer has queried a claim. You get an independent record of what the roof shows. What happens next is up to the insurer.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Broken or displaced guttering
- New damp or leaks inside
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Damaged flat roof membrane
Trees in and around Parsloes Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
What happens if roof problems are left?
Leaving storm damage can let water into the roof space and rooms below. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. Behind a London parapet, a blocked gutter can sit full of water without anyone seeing it. By the time a ceiling stains, the timbers underneath may have been wet for a while.

How we price storm damage roof reports
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.

Questions from Dagenham Green
Is parking a problem for a survey in Dagenham Green?
It depends on the street. Where there are permit zones, a visitor permit or nearby pay-and-display bay works well.
Is my home in Dagenham Green listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. Our report then records the roof.
Is Dagenham Green in your area?
Yes. We survey roofs in Dagenham Green and the rest of Greater London, as part of our work across London and the South East. To book, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Safely, from the ground or a window. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. Binoculars can help you see damage from below and we’ll inspect the rest from safe positions.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Dagenham Green?
Just ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
How long is the visit?
Time on site depends on the roof; most visits take between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Wind, rain and roofs in Dagenham Green
The wider area around Dagenham Green has a long history of building, with Rainham Hall about 1.9 miles east. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Further from the centre, London’s housing takes in interwar semis with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles as well as slate-roofed terraces. 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.
Take a building like Marsh Green Primary School: a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside. If you run a business near Gallions Reach Shopping Park, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters.
