Do you need a storm damage roof report in Enfield Chase?
A storm often finds a roof’s existing weak spots. Nail fatigue, eroded ridge mortar and tired flashings can all fail in high winds. We record recent damage alongside older defects.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Lead lifted at abutments
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Mary Magdalene, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Enfield Chase
After a storm, safety comes first. Photograph the damage from the ground or a window, and never climb up. Emergency temporary protection, like covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. If you’ve noticed slates and tiles blown off the roof and broken or displaced guttering, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Many London homes are well over a century old and their roofs have been patched more than once, so a new leak can be the latest sign of wear rather than a single event. Insurers usually exclude wear and tear, so it is useful to know whether damage is old or new. That’s as true in Enfield Chase as anywhere in London. A written record with photographs helps you explain what was found to whoever deals with it next.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Enfield Chase questions
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Enfield Chase?
Sometimes, yes. If Enfield Chase has controlled parking where you are, a visitor permit is the easiest answer, and a driveway is even better.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Enfield Chase?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so you know what the roof shows. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
How do I book a survey in Enfield Chase?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Enfield Chase roofs and the weather
Historic houses such as Forty Hall, about 1.6 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Enfield Chase goes. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, frequently 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. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
Anyone responsible for a site like Chase Side Primary School will know that a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside. Homes near green spaces like Enfield Town Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

Take a look at what a roof survey costs or two real surveys.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That is where a survey comes in.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
What a storm damage roof report doesn’t cover
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- Acting for you with the insurer
- Estimates of repair costs
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer. The full list of what we check.
Roof types and parts we check
- Flashings
- Slate and tile slopes
- Gutters and fascias
- Flat roofs
- Chimney stacks
- Ridges and hips
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 will take it from there. A typical survey takes about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. For a visit in Enfield Chase, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor the property is on, any shared entrance and loft access. 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.
- 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.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Keep pets in another room
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
