Storm damage roof report in Enfield Highway, Greater London
Wondering about the roof at a property in Enfield Highway? You can book a storm damage roof report in Enfield Highway and across Greater London.
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
Should I look at the roof myself first?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Enfield Highway
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: whether there were storm conditions around the date, whether the damage fits a storm, and whether the storm was the main cause. Our report focuses on the second and third points. Weather records for the date are for you or your insurer to check. If you’ve noticed roofs hit by falling trees and flashings pulled away from walls or stacks, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
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 Enfield Highway tells the two apart where the evidence allows. A written record with photographs helps you explain what was found to whoever deals with it next.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
Once we’ve been, the findings are written up with photos. It sets out what is damaged, the likely cause and any signs of older wear. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.

How the survey works
The visit has one job: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit typically takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Many London properties are flats or terraces with no side access, so rear slopes are viewed from windows, the loft or, where a flight is allowed, by drone. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents as you book.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Getting ready for the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
Book a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or email us.

Storm damage roof reports in Enfield Highway: local notes
Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed. With Forty Hall about 1.3 miles north-west, Enfield Highway sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you let a flat or house near Brimsdown station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. Anyone responsible for a site like Enfield Heights Academy will know that tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. Take an older house close to St James' Church: the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Enfield Highway
Is my home in Enfield Highway listed or in a conservation area?
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.
Is Enfield Highway in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Enfield Highway as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. If you are still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. An independent report can add to your evidence, but we can’t say how it will turn out.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We aren’t loss adjusters and don’t act for you with the insurer. We provide an independent record of the roof, which you can pass to your insurer.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Our reports start from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. The report does not include repair costs.
Why get it checked now?
Before temporary repairs, photograph the damage from ground level if it is safe. Those photos show the damage as it was. 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.
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
