Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Earlsfield
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: were there storm conditions on or around the date, is the damage consistent with a storm, and was the storm the main cause. Our report focuses on the second and third points. You or your insurer can check the weather for the date. If you’ve noticed broken or displaced guttering and stains appearing after strong winds, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on ridges and hips, flashings and gutters and fascias alike.
Many London homes are well over a century old and their roofs have been patched more than once. Insurers normally exclude wear and tear, so it is useful to know whether damage is old or new. A careful look in Earlsfield tells the two apart where the evidence allows. Photos and a written account give you something specific to show an insurer, a landlord or a roofer.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

What affects the price in Earlsfield
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- The roof’s overall size
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Basic, Standard or Premium
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Helping us price your survey
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It helps to include:
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and give us some details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
What happens on the day
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit typically takes about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a London conversion, the way into the loft space is often from a communal landing or the top flat. If that applies to your building, it is useful to agree access with the neighbours or the managing agent first. Everything else is planned around the building, not the postcode.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- 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
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Tell us where we can park nearby
How to book
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Advice
Storm damage roof reports in Earlsfield: local notes
Fulham Palace, about 2.3 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Earlsfield. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. Many homes in inner London are Victorian and Edwardian terraces, often with Welsh slate roofs. A butterfly roof with a central valley gutter, tucked behind a parapet wall, is common on these houses. If your home in Earlsfield is one of them, lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are part of the picture too. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Southside Wandsworth, water through a ceiling can damage stock and close a sales floor, so the source needs finding fast. Homes near green spaces like King George's Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

Common questions in Earlsfield
Do you carry out roof surveys in Earlsfield?
Yes, Earlsfield is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in Earlsfield is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Safely, from ground level or a window. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. Binoculars can help you see damage from below, and we’ll record the rest.
How long does the survey take?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof; most visits take about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Do you look in the roof space?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Tell us about it when you book and we will plan the survey around it.
Can I check my roof myself?
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Earlsfield
Strong winds lift loose or poorly fixed slates and tiles, ridge pieces and flashings. Driving rain then gets in through the gaps. People typically call us after a storm, once they’ve noticed damage or a leak.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Damaged gutters and fascias
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Beatrix Potter Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.
