Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Gillette Corner
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Photograph the damage from ground level or a window, and never climb up. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. Typical surveys look at roofs hit by falling trees and damaged flat roof membrane, on flashings, ridges and hips and chimney stacks.
London’s Victorian and Edwardian roofs have often been repaired many times. Telling wear from a one-off event matters, because insurers typically exclude wear and tear. A careful look in Gillette Corner tells the two apart where the evidence allows. A written record with photos helps you explain what was found to whoever deals with it next.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put with the most urgent first where relevant.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Gillette Corner
Landlords and building managers frequently need a written record after a storm. It helps when explaining damage to a building owner or insurer.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Water coming in after the storm
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
If you run a business near Treaty Centre, water through a ceiling can damage stock and close a sales floor, so the source needs finding fast.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Whether the price includes VAT
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
Why get it checked now?
Your policy may say how quickly you need to report damage. Let your insurer know early, and check what your policy asks for. An independent report can follow. In a London terrace or conversion, a roof defect rarely stays your problem alone: failed flashings and blocked valley gutters can send water into more than one home. Finding it early keeps the work smaller.
Every price we give includes VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.

Gillette Corner roofs and the weather
Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, frequently 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. The wider area around Gillette Corner has a long history of building, with Boston Manor about 0.7 miles north-east. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you look after a building such as Marlborough Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. For landlords with property near Syon Lane station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

A typical visit takes between one and two hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Surveys in Gillette Corner can be booked for any day of the week. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a nearby bay. A back bedroom window can be the best vantage point for a rear addition, so we may ask to use one.

- We look at the roof from wherever it is safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.

Advice
Gillette Corner questions
Do you carry out roof surveys in Gillette Corner?
Yes, Gillette Corner is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Gillette Corner as anywhere else.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Gillette Corner?
Parking in Gillette Corner, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Larger or more complex roofs are quoted for their size. It does not include repair costs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for those.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
