Storm damage roof report in Greenwich
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. If you’ve noticed flashings pulled away from walls or stacks and broken or displaced guttering, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flat roofs, gutters and fascias and ridges and hips alike.
Water getting into a London home frequently comes from a detail you cannot see from the street: the valley gutter in a butterfly roof, a parapet gutter, a chimney flashing or the flat roof over a rear extension. For a leak or storm damage in Greenwich, those hidden details are where the inspection begins. Water from a hidden gutter can run along joists and show up a room or two away.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. A written report with photographs gives you a clear record of the roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
What happens on the day
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. The survey itself takes an hour or two at a typical home, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. London terraces rarely offer a view of the whole roof from one spot, so in Greenwich we work round the house, using the street, the windows, the loft and any safe vantage point behind it. If other people live in the building, tell us who can let us into the shared parts.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Preparing for the visit
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
Arrange a survey
We survey roofs seven days a week. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.

Greenwich roofs and the weather
Many homes in inner London are Victorian and Edwardian terraces, often with Welsh slate roofs. Many have butterfly roofs draining to a central valley gutter, with parapet walls and gutters hidden behind them. If your home in Greenwich is one of them, lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are part of the picture too. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. The wider area around Greenwich has a long history of building, with Queen's House about 0.2 miles north-west. If your house is among the older ones, 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.
For businesses in and around places such as Lewisham Shopping Centre, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters. For landlords with property near Maze Hill station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Greenwich
Landlords and managing agents book reports to keep a record for owners and insurers. It helps when explaining damage to a building owner or insurer.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- New damp or leaks inside
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
What to check before booking
- Their insurance cover
- What follow-up you get after the report
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Is VAT included in the price?
Different roofs, different checks
Chimney stacks
Pots, cowls and aerials on chimneys can be damaged or dislodged in a storm. The report notes any damage to the stack.
Flat roof coverings
Wind can lift the edges of flat roof coverings or tear them. Damage is photographed and described.
Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Greenwich
Is my home in Greenwich listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you cover Greenwich?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is not normally covered. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. Your insurer decides the claim.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We are not loss adjusters, and we don’t negotiate claims. We provide an independent record of the roof, which you can pass to your insurer.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
We can’t say whether a claim will be paid. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
Complain to your insurer first. If you’re still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. An independent report can add to your evidence, but we cannot say how it will turn out.
