Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Elm Park
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Take photos from ground level or from windows, and do not climb onto the roof. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. Common reasons to book are damaged gutters and fascias and lead lifted at abutments, on flashings, gutters and fascias and flat roofs.
London’s Victorian and Edwardian roofs have often been repaired many times. Telling wear from a one-off event matters, because insurers usually exclude wear and tear. A careful look in Elm Park tells the two apart where the evidence allows. A written record with photos helps you explain what was found to whoever deals with it next.
Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Common questions in Elm Park
Is Elm Park in the area you cover?
Yes, Elm Park is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and the South East. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Is parking a problem for a survey in Elm Park?
It depends on the street. Where there are permit zones, a visitor permit or nearby pay-and-display bay works well.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
Each policy has its own definition. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but your policy sets the actual test.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Tell us about it as you book and we will explain what’s needed.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
Only your insurer can decide that. We record the damage, with photographs and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Stay off the roof. Take photos from the ground or from windows. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
What we’re asked to look at in Elm Park
Storms do not only affect pitched roofs. Wind can lift edges and tear coverings, and blocked outlets can leave water ponding after heavy rain. Our report covers flat and pitched roofs.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
Take an older house close to St Nicholas Church: water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.
What to check before booking
- Whether the price includes VAT
- What the survey will not cover
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
Leave it or get it looked at?
With an independent report, you have something specific to show your insurer. It records the damage and what seems to have caused it, alongside any photos you took yourself. Behind a London parapet, a blocked gutter can sit full of water without anyone seeing it. By the time a ceiling stains, the timbers underneath may have been wet for a while.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.

Storm damage roof reports around Elm Park
About 2.1 miles south lies Rainham Hall, a reminder of how long the area around Elm Park has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Further from the centre, London’s housing takes in interwar semis with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles as well as slate-roofed terraces. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
If you let a flat or house near Emerson Park station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. Shop and office owners around The Brewery may find that finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down.

The survey, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In a London area like Elm Park, the main things to sort out are parking and access: let us know about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor the property is on and how to get into the loft. On the day, the roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from inside the loft space and from the roof where it’s safe.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We check the roof from wherever it is safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
How to prepare
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work

What you can safely check yourself
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
