Donnybrook Quarter: your questions answered
Is Donnybrook Quarter in the area you cover?
Yes, Donnybrook Quarter is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Donnybrook Quarter as anywhere else.
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Donnybrook Quarter?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when booking.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
How long is the visit?
Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. The report follows by email.
Storm damage roof report in Donnybrook Quarter
The Financial Ombudsman looks at three things when it considers a storm damage complaint: whether there were storm conditions around the date, whether the damage fits a storm, and whether the storm was the main cause. Our report focuses on the second and third points. You or your insurer can check the weather for the date. We survey gutters and fascias, flashings and chimney stacks, and people most often book us about ridge tiles that have come loose and lead lifted at abutments.
Water getting into a London home frequently comes from a detail you cannot see from the street: a butterfly roof’s central valley gutter, a parapet gutter, a chimney flashing or a flat roof over a back addition. For a leak or storm damage in Donnybrook Quarter, those hidden details are where the inspection begins. Water from a hidden gutter can run along joists and show up a room or two away.

- Acting for you with the insurer
- The outcome of a claim

Roofs we survey in Donnybrook Quarter
- Flashings
- Chimney stacks
- Flat roofs
- Gutters and fascias
- Ridges and hips
- Slate and tile slopes
Different roofs, different checks
Ridge and hip tiles
The ridge and hips are among the most exposed parts of a roof. We record any that have lifted, cracked or come away.
Clay and concrete tiles
Broken or missing tiles leave the underlay exposed to rain. We photograph each gap.
How it works
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. From the street, a London terrace typically shows only its front slope or parapet, so in Donnybrook Quarter 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? Tell us who holds the keys.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Getting ready for the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
Arrange a survey
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email to find out.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Knowing whether older wear played a part helps you understand your position. Our report gives an honest view of both, so there are no surprises later. Many older London roofs have only old felt under the slates, or no underlay at all, so once the slates or flashings let water past, little stops it reaching ceilings. Left alone, that means wet timbers and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the roof fault itself.
Every price we give includes VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the exact price before you book.

DIY checks: what’s safe
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Storm damage roof reports in Donnybrook Quarter: local notes
Close to the centre of London, a great many houses are Victorian or Edwardian terraces, many of them roofed in Welsh slate. 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. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. Sutton House, about 1.3 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Donnybrook Quarter. 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.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St Paul Old Ford, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Westfield Stratford City, water through a ceiling can damage stock and close a sales floor, so the source needs finding fast. Homes near green spaces like Grove Hall Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
