Storm Damage Roof Report in Fortune Green
An independent record of roof damage after a storm in Fortune Green, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photographs.
- New damp or leaks inside
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
Leave it or get it looked at?
Many policies expect damage to be reported promptly. Check the wording and tell your insurer as soon as you can. Our report can then add a clear record. Blocked gutters and hoppers on London houses overflow and soak brickwork. A blocked outlet ignored for a winter or two can mean damp walls inside.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both with VAT included. We confirm the price for your survey before you book.
Why book us in Fortune Green

- Visits on any day of the week
- Plain-English reports with photos
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

How a storm damage roof report works in Fortune Green
High winds typically affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Falling branches can cause damage too. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. If you’ve noticed ridge tiles that have come loose and torn or lifted flat roof coverings, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on slate and tile slopes, flat roofs and ridges and hips alike.
In London, leaks often start somewhere hidden: a butterfly roof’s central valley gutter, a parapet gutter, a chimney flashing or a flat roof over a back addition. Whether you are tracing a leak or recording storm damage in Fortune Green, those are among the first places to look. A hidden gutter that overflows can send water a long way before it shows.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

Can I check my roof myself?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
For landlords and managing agents
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Fortune Green. To discuss a property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
What we are asked to look at in Fortune Green
Strong winds lift loose or poorly fixed slates and tiles, ridge pieces and flashings. Driving rain then gets in through the gaps. People normally call us after a storm, once they’ve noticed damage or a leak.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- New damp or leaks inside
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Roofs hit by falling trees
If you own a rental within reach of West Hampstead Thameslink station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How soon the report will arrive
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Whether VAT is added on top
Wind, rain and roofs in Fortune Green
Many homes in inner London are Victorian and Edwardian terraces, frequently with Welsh slate roofs. A butterfly roof with a central valley gutter, tucked behind a parapet wall, is common on these houses. Lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are typical of these houses, if yours is one of them. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. The wider area around Fortune Green has a long history of building, with Fenton House about 0.7 miles east. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Take a building like St Luke's Church of England School: a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside. Take an older house close to Church of St Luke: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

Questions from Fortune Green
Is parking a problem for a survey in Fortune Green?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Is my home in Fortune Green listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you look in the loft space?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Please don’t climb onto the roof. Take photos from the ground or from windows. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We aren’t loss adjusters and do not act for you with the insurer. We provide an independent record of the roof for you to send to your insurer.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the survey around it.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. If you’re still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, but we can’t say how it will turn out.
What happens on the day
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey typically takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. From the street, a London terrace normally shows only its front slope or parapet, so in Fortune Green we work round the house, using the street, the windows, the loft and any safe vantage point behind it. Shared stairs or a basement flat? Let us know who holds the keys.
- 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.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
How to prepare
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
Book a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or use the contact form whenever suits you.
