About our storm damage roof report in Dartmouth Park
Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies by policy. Your policy document sets out its own definition. Whether the weather met it is for your insurer. We record the damage and what seems to have caused it. The report includes photos of each area of damage, and you decide what to send. The claim decision rests with your insurer. We survey gutters and fascias, chimney stacks and flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are stains appearing after strong winds and broken or displaced guttering.
In converted houses and blocks across London, water from a roof can run a long way before it shows on a ceiling. That makes the source hard to pin down, and finding it matters for whoever has to deal with it. In Dartmouth Park, we inspect what we can reach safely and are given access to. Let us know when the water shows, and in what kind of weather.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

What we do, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. It normally takes about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. From the street, a London terrace usually shows only its front slope or parapet, so in Dartmouth Park we work round the house, using the street, the windows, the loft and any safe vantage point behind it. Shared stairs or a basement flat? Let us know who holds the keys.
- You let us know when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We view the roof from wherever it can safely be seen, including the loft where there is access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Leave side gates unlocked

Common roof problems in Dartmouth Park
Falling trees and branches can damage roofs in high winds. We record the damage and where it is, with photographs.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- New damp or leaks inside
- Loose or torn flashings
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Roofs hit by falling trees
Anyone responsible for a site like Acland Burghley School will know that a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.
Questions to ask before you book
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- When you’ll get the report
- What happens after the report arrives
Should I look at the roof myself first?
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Wind, rain and roofs in Dartmouth Park
Witanhurst, about 0.8 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Dartmouth Park. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Many homes in inner London are Victorian and Edwardian terraces, frequently 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. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
For landlords with property near Gospel Oak station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. Trees in and around Whittington Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

Questions from Dartmouth Park
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Dartmouth Park?
Parking in Dartmouth Park, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
Is Dartmouth Park in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you look in the roof space?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so it is clear what we found. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
It depends on your policy. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Check your policy wording.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Let us know about it as you book and we’ll explain what’s needed.

Why act early in Dartmouth Park
It’s useful to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. A hidden valley or parapet gutter on a London house can hold water for weeks before anyone notices. When the stain finally shows, the damage underneath is often older than it looks.
Every price we give includes VAT. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for the job before you book.
Why us?
- Package prices that include VAT
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Surveys seven days a week
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
Practical tips
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
- Photograph damage inside the house too
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. If that doesn’t resolve it, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. They can damage the roof in high winds.
