Storm Damage Roof Report in Gunnersbury
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Gunnersbury. We have completed more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Water coming in after the storm
What happens if roof problems are left?
With an independent report, you have something specific to show your insurer. It sets out what we found and the likely cause, alongside any photos you took yourself. A hidden valley or parapet gutter on a London house can hold water for weeks before anyone notices. When the stain finally shows, the damage underneath is often older than it looks.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and which survey you book.

- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

Storm damage roof report in Gunnersbury: what you get
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. Our report records both: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems such as corroded nails or worn mortar. We give an honest view of what we see. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. We survey ridges and hips, flat roofs and flashings, and the problems we are asked to look at most are lead lifted at abutments and damaged flat roof membrane.
London’s Victorian and Edwardian roofs have often been repaired many times. Telling wear from a one-off event matters, because insurers normally exclude wear and tear. A careful look in Gunnersbury tells the two apart where the evidence allows. Photographs and a written account give you something specific to show an insurer, a landlord or a roofer.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Gunnersbury questions
Do you cover Gunnersbury?
Yes, Gunnersbury is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Gunnersbury?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Our reports start from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. The report doesn’t include repair costs.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We check everything that can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
We can’t say whether a claim will be paid. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Only from ground level or from windows. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. Binoculars can help you see damage from below and we’ll inspect the rest from safe positions.
Wind, rain and roofs in Gunnersbury
Gunnersbury Park, about 0.7 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Gunnersbury. 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 a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Further from the centre, London’s housing takes in interwar semis with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles as well as slate-roofed terraces. If your home in Gunnersbury is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
Take an older house close to St Michael's Church: lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. Living close to Turnham Green is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. Take a building like Strand-on-the-Green Junior School: a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.

How we price storm damage roof reports

Helping us price your survey
Before you get in touch, it’s useful to have:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- The address and postcode of the property
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Anything about access we should know
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or send us an email, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
What we do, step by step
We’ll ask a few questions first, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes about one to two hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a London area like Gunnersbury, the main things to sort out are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor the property is on, any shared entrance and loft access. We then look at whatever is safely visible from the ground, windows, the loft and, where it is safe, the roof itself.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
Book a survey

Advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: 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.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
