Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Height and safe access
- Roof area
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
Getting in touch
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you get in touch, it helps to mention:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Anything about access we should know
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The kind of building and roof involved
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or drop us an email, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.
How a storm damage roof report works in Edgware Bury
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Photograph the damage from the ground or a window, and never climb up. Emergency temporary protection, such as covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. If you’ve noticed ridge tiles that have come loose and water coming in after the storm, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Water getting into a London home frequently comes from a detail you can’t 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 Edgware Bury, those hidden details are where the inspection begins. A hidden gutter that overflows can send water a long way before it shows.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Why it is worth a survey now in Edgware Bury
It is 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. 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.
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.

When you need someone else
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
- How your policy defines a storm
- Areas we can’t see safely
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.
What we check
- Chimney stacks
- Gutters and fascias
- Flat roofs
- Slate and tile slopes
- Flashings
- Ridges and hips
What we are asked to look at in Edgware Bury
Branches and trees frequently come down on roofs during storms. The report shows what was hit and the damage caused, with photographs.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
Living close to Edgwarebury Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- What insurance they carry
- What follow-up you get after the report
Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Edgware Bury
Is Edgware Bury in the area you cover?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Edgware Bury is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Edgware Bury?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We’ll talk about access when you book.
How long does the survey take?
Expect it to take about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. You’ll then get the report by email, on the timescale of your package.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Roof by roof
Slate roofs
After strong winds, we frequently see cracked and slipped slates. Each area is photographed and described.
Ridge and hip tiles
Worn mortar under ridge tiles can let them lift in a storm. We note whether the mortar looks recently broken or long worn.
What we do, step by step
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey typically takes between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Surveys in Edgware Bury can be booked for any day of the week. London parking is often by permit or pay-and-display, so it is useful to know what’s near you. A back bedroom window can be the best vantage point for a rear addition, so we may ask to use one.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We look at 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.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Storm damage roof reports in Edgware Bury: local notes
About 4.1 miles south-west lies Headstone Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Edgware Bury has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
For businesses in and around places such as Broadwalk Centre, water through a ceiling can damage stock and close a sales floor, so the source needs finding fast. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St Andrew, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
