Useful tips for Haggerston property owners
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
You get the report by email and pass it to your insurer yourself. It is your record to use.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
How a storm damage roof report works in Haggerston
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from the ground, from windows and higher points, from the roof space and from the roof where it is safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. If part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. You get a written report with photos to give to your insurer. We survey slate and tile slopes, gutters and fascias and flashings, and the problems we are asked to look at most are broken or displaced guttering and damaged ridges and hips.
In converted houses and blocks across London, water from a roof can run a long way before it shows on a ceiling, sometimes in a different flat from the one below the defect. That makes the source hard to pin down, and finding it matters for whoever has to deal with it. We look at what we’re given access to in Haggerston, inside and out. Tell us when the water shows, and in what kind of weather.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photograph. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Storm damage roof reports in Haggerston: local notes
With Sutton House about 1.5 miles north-east, Haggerston sits in an area with a long building history. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Welsh slate on Victorian and Edwardian terraces is a familiar sight across inner London. Behind many of their parapets sit butterfly roofs and valley gutters that can’t be seen from the pavement. If your home in Haggerston is one of them, lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are part of the picture too. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
Landlords with a home close to Hoxton station may find that tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Columba, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. For businesses in and around places like Hackney Walk, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down.
Haggerston is about 1 mile east of Hoxton, in Greater London. Haggerston is part of the area we cover and the surrounding area across London and South East England. Our area takes in places right across Greater London, large and small.

Why it is worth a survey now in Haggerston

Common questions in Haggerston
How do I find out if my home in Haggerston is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Do you cover Haggerston?
Yes, Haggerston is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
It depends on your policy. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Check your policy wording.
How are storm damage reports priced?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. The report doesn’t include repair costs.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Please do not climb onto the roof. Take photos from the ground or from windows. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
What happens on the day
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In a London area like Haggerston, the main things to sort out are parking and access: let us know about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor the property is on and how to get into the loft. We then look at whatever is safely visible from ground level, windows, the loft and, where it is safe, the roof itself.
- You let us know when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the roof space where it’s safe.
- The damage is recorded with photos, area by area.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

Advice
What you can safely check yourself
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
When we price a survey, we consider:
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- How big the roof is
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
What to let us know when you get in touch
Before you get in touch, it is useful to have:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The address and postcode of the property
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
When you are ready to go ahead, call 07833 053749 or email us. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date.
