Storm damage roof report in Dulwich Village: what you get
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. Our part is recording the damage to your roof and its likely cause. The report includes photographs of each area of damage, and you decide what to send. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. Common reasons to book are damaged ridges and hips and roofs hit by falling trees, across chimney stacks, slate and tile slopes and ridges and hips.
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 Dulwich Village, we inspect what we can reach safely and are given access to. It helps to know when the water appears and in what weather.
It isn’t only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Dulwich Village?
Landlords and building managers often need a written record after a storm. It helps when explaining damage to a building owner or insurer.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- New damp or leaks inside
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
The streets around a church such as St Barnabas' Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.
What to check before booking

Before and after the survey
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
You will need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
Keep records of roof work and surveys. They can help show the roof was looked after.
Questions from Dulwich Village
Is my home in Dulwich Village listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is Dulwich Village in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Dulwich Village as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Let us know about it when you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
How are storm damage reports priced?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. The report doesn’t include repair costs.
How long will you be at the property?
Time on site depends on the roof; most visits take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. The written report follows by email.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
That’s not something we can promise. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In Dulwich Village, visits are available on weekdays and at weekends. London parking is frequently by permit or pay-and-display, so it is useful to know what’s near you, and to clear a path to the loft hatch. A back bedroom window can be the best vantage point for a rear addition, so we may ask to use one.

Dulwich Village roofs and the weather
Many homes in inner London are Victorian and Edwardian terraces, frequently with Welsh slate roofs. A butterfly roof with a central valley gutter, tucked behind a parapet wall, is common on these houses. Lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are typical of these houses, if yours is one of them. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. About 1.3 miles south lies Kingswood House, a reminder of how long the area around Dulwich Village has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
Homes near green spaces like Dulwich Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. For businesses in and around places such as Lewisham Shopping Centre, a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running.
