About our storm damage roof report in Falconwood
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. So it matters whether the damage came from the storm or from a roof that was already worn. We note signs of each: recent damage alongside any older defects, like nail fatigue on slates or eroded pointing. We describe what we see, whichever way it points. Your insurer then decides how its policy applies. Typical surveys look at flashings pulled away from walls or stacks and torn or lifted flat roof coverings, across chimney stacks, gutters and fascias and ridges and hips.
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 normally exclude wear and tear, so it is useful to know whether damage is old or new. A careful look in Falconwood tells the two apart where the evidence allows. Photos and a written account give you something specific to show an insurer, a landlord or a roofer.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Falconwood questions
Is Falconwood in the area you cover?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Falconwood is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Is parking a problem for a survey in Falconwood?
Sometimes, yes. If Falconwood has controlled parking where you are, a visitor permit is the easiest answer.
Do you look in the roof space?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Safely, from the ground or a window. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. With binoculars, you can see a lot from ground level, and we will record the rest.
What does a storm damage report cost?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs are not part of the report.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It depends on your policy. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Your policy document will say.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We’re not loss adjusters, and we don’t negotiate claims. We provide an independent record of the roof for you to send to your insurer.

Storm damage roof reports around Falconwood
With Danson House about 1 mile east, Falconwood sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. If your home in Falconwood is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
Living close to Shoulder of Mutton Green is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn. If you look after a building like Bishop Ridley Church of England VA Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. Landlords with a home close to Welling station may find that finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

How the survey works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It typically takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. For a visit in Falconwood, parking and access are the things to plan: 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 the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space and from the roof where it is safe.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Find any records of previous roof work
