Storm Damage Roof Report in Green Park
An experienced roof surveyor for storm damage roof reports in Green Park. Over 5,000 surveys and 20+ years behind us.
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
Checking the roof from ground level
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Storm damage roof report in Green Park: what you get
The Financial Ombudsman looks at three things when it considers a storm damage complaint: were there storm conditions on or around the date, is the damage consistent with a storm, and was the storm the main cause. Our report focuses on the second and third points. You or your insurer can check the weather for the date. If you’ve noticed damaged ridges and hips and damaged gutters and fascias, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Many homes in small places like Green Park face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

What happens if roof problems are left?
A few slipped slates can soon lead to wet timbers. Acting quickly usually means less damage overall. In a place like Green Park, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Green Park
Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. Historic houses such as Mapledurham House, about 4.6 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Green Park goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near The Oracle, a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running. Take an older house close to St Paul's Church: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. Take a building like Whitley Park Primary and Nursery School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

What else we do in Green Park
Questions from Green Park
Is my home in Green Park listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is Green Park within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. Take photos from ground level first if it is safe. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Green Park?
Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. If you are still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, though we cannot predict the outcome.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
That is not something we can promise. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
When you need someone else
Every survey has limits, and it’s better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:

- Acting for you with the insurer
- The outcome of a claim
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll point you to the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
Roof types and parts we check
- Chimney stacks
- Flashings
- Slate and tile slopes
- Ridges and hips
- Gutters and fascias
- Flat roofs
What we do, step by step
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. All told, expect an hour or two for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Green Park frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We view the roof from wherever it can safely be seen, including the loft where there’s access.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Check we can get to the back of the property
