Prices for storm damage roof reports in Edmonton
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The size of the roof
- House, block, shop or office
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. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT.
Getting in touch

- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Edmonton
We inspect the roof from wherever it can safely be seen: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there’s access, and the roof itself where that’s safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. If part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. We’re often asked to look into loose or torn flashings and slipped or missing slates or tiles, across chimney stacks, ridges and hips and flat roofs.
In London, leaks frequently start somewhere hidden: a butterfly roof’s central valley gutter, a parapet gutter, a chimney flashing or a flat roof over a back addition. Whether you’re tracing a leak or recording storm damage in Edmonton, those are among the first places to look. Water from a hidden gutter can run along joists and show up a room or two away.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Tips that help
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Take photos from the ground or a window, never by climbing
Once we’ve been, the findings are written up with photos. It covers the damage, its likely cause and any older defects. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Edmonton
Bruce Castle, about 1.8 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Edmonton. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Outer London has lots of Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, frequently with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
For landlords with property near Edmonton Green station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. Trees in and around Pymmes Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters.

What happens on the day
It’s useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit normally takes about one to two hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In converted houses and mansion blocks, the loft hatch is often on a shared landing. If that applies to your building, it helps to agree access with the neighbours or the managing agent first. Otherwise, the visit in Edmonton runs like any other.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- 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.
Before the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Check pets are kept safely away

Surveys for landlords and agents in Edmonton

FAQs for Edmonton
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Edmonton?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Edmonton?
Yes, Edmonton is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
That is not something we can promise. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
How long does the survey take?
Most surveys take about one to two hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. We will confirm the timing when you book.
Do you look in the loft space?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Edmonton?
Roofs that were already worn are more likely to suffer in a storm. Corroded nails on slate roofs, worn mortar on ridges and old flashings can all give way. We record recent damage alongside older defects.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Loose or torn flashings
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
If you run a business near Edmonton Green Shopping Centre, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down.
