FAQs for Fortis Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Fortis Green?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you cover Fortis Green?
Yes, Fortis Green is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
Only your insurer can decide that. We record the damage, with photos and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
How are storm damage reports priced?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs aren’t part of the report.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is not usually covered. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. Your insurer decides the claim.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. If it is safe, photograph the damage before it’s covered. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
About our storm damage roof report in Fortis Green
After a storm, safety comes first. Take photos from the ground or from windows, and do not climb onto the roof. Emergency temporary protection, such as covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. We’re often asked to look into broken or displaced guttering and lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles, across flashings, 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. For a leak or storm damage in Fortis Green, those hidden details are where the inspection begins. A hidden gutter that overflows can send water a long way before it shows.
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.

When to book a survey in Fortis Green
Some people book because a claim has been questioned. An independent report gives you another view of the roof. What happens next is up to the insurer.
Common reasons to book include:
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Water coming in after the storm
- Damaged gutters and fascias
For landlords with property near Alexandra Palace station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Their insurance cover
- What exactly goes into their report
The survey, step by step
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect what can be seen safely, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In converted houses and mansion blocks, the loft hatch is frequently on a shared landing. Where that’s the case, access needs agreeing with whoever controls that landing. Otherwise, the visit in Fortis Green 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
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Make sure pets are kept safely away

Useful tips for Fortis Green property owners
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Fortis Green
Your policy may say how quickly you need to report damage. Check the wording and tell your insurer as soon as you can. An independent report can follow. 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.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, from £400 with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.
