How a storm damage roof report works in Green Street Green
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. It sets out what is damaged, with photographs, and what we think the likely cause is. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We’re not loss adjusters, and we cannot tell you whether a claim will succeed. We survey chimney stacks, slate and tile slopes and flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and damage from fallen branches or debris.
In converted houses and blocks across London, water from a roof can run a long way before it shows on a ceiling. That makes the source hard to pin down, and finding it matters for whoever has to deal with it. We check what we’re given access to in Green Street Green, inside and out. It is useful to know when the water appears and in what weather.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Green Street Green
With Down House about 2.1 miles south-west, Green Street Green sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. 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. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
If you live near a park like Hewitt's Chalk Bank, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. If you let a flat or house near Chelsfield station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near St Mary's Church, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from a storm damage roof report starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Take photos from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. After that, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
How the survey works
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect between one and two hours at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In Green Street Green, visits are available on weekdays and at weekends. London parking is often by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you. A back bedroom window can be the best vantage point for a rear addition, so we may ask to use one.
- 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
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Questions from Green Street Green
Is parking a problem for a survey in Green Street Green?
Parking in Green Street Green, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available as you book.
Is my home in Green Street Green listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
It depends on your policy. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Your policy document will say.
How do I book a survey in Green Street Green?
Simply call 07833 053749 or email us. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Safely, from the ground or a window. Don’t use a ladder or go onto the roof. With binoculars, you can see a lot from the ground, and we’ll record the rest.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
Can I check my roof myself?
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
