Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Fulwell
Most policies do not 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: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems like corroded nails or worn mortar. We describe what we see, whichever way it points. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. Typical surveys look at loose or broken chimney pots and cowls and slipped or missing slates or tiles, across chimney stacks, ridges and hips and gutters and fascias.
Many London homes are well over a century old and their roofs have been patched more than once. Telling wear from a one-off event matters, because insurers normally exclude wear and tear. That is as true in Fulwell as anywhere in London. A written record with photographs helps you explain what was found to whoever deals with it next.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

The survey, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. In converted houses and mansion blocks, the loft hatch is often on a shared landing. Where that’s the case, access needs agreeing with whoever controls that landing. Otherwise, the visit in Fulwell runs like any other.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Getting ready for the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Landlord and commercial surveys in Fulwell

Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
How the survey changes by roof type
Chimney stacks
Wind can pull the flashings away from a chimney. We photograph any we find.
Ridge and hip tiles
Ridge and hip tiles take the full force of the wind. The survey notes loose, cracked or missing ridge and hip tiles.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Fulwell
In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. With Strawberry Hill House about 0.6 miles north-east, Fulwell sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Stanley Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near St Michael's, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

Common questions in Fulwell
Is my home in Fulwell 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 is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Is parking a problem for a survey in Fulwell?
It can be, so it’s useful to let us know about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We will talk about access when booking.
What does a storm damage report cost?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. The report does not include repair costs.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Only from the ground or from windows. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. With binoculars, you can see a lot from ground level and we’ll inspect the rest from safe positions.
How long does the survey take?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof; most visits take about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. The written report follows by email.
What if the roof was already worn?
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. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
What we are asked to look at in Fulwell
Others book after an insurer has queried a claim. An independent report gives you another view of the roof. What happens next is up to the insurer.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Water coming in after the storm
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Flat roof edges peeled back
Landlords with a home close to Fulwell station may find that tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- What the survey won’t cover
Useful tips for Fulwell property owners
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
You get the report by email and pass it to your insurer yourself. We do not deal with the insurer on your behalf.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Many policies expect damage to be reported promptly. Let your insurer know early, and check what your policy asks for. An independent report can follow. Blocked gutters and hoppers on London houses overflow and soak brickwork, which can lead to damp inside. A small blockage left for a few winters becomes a damp problem.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
