Hampstead Garden Suburb Storm Damage Roof Report
Storm damage roof reports around Hampstead Garden Suburb, with a written report you can act on. Weekday and weekend visits available.
- Loose or torn flashings
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Storm damage roof report in Hampstead Garden Suburb: what you get
High winds typically affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Falling branches can cause damage too. 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 new damp or leaks inside and loose or torn flashings, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
London’s Victorian and Edwardian roofs have often been repaired many times, so a new leak can be the latest sign of wear rather than a single event. Insurers typically exclude wear and tear, so it is useful to know whether damage is old or new. That is as true in Hampstead Garden Suburb as anywhere in London. Photos and a written account give you something specific to show an insurer, a landlord or a roofer.
It isn’t only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

When to book a survey in Hampstead Garden Suburb
Others book after an insurer has queried a claim. An independent report gives you another view of the roof. We can’t say whether the decision will change.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Roofs hit by falling trees
If you live near a park such as Lyttelton Playing Fields, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- What insurance they carry
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Hampstead Garden Suburb
The wider area around Hampstead Garden Suburb has a long history of building, with Heath Hall about 0.8 miles south-east. On older houses around here, roofs often 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. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
If you let a flat or house near Brent Cross West station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. If you run a hotel or guest house in or near Hampstead Garden Suburb, a roof problem can mean rooms out of use.

Hampstead Garden Suburb: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hampstead Garden Suburb?

No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Will you check the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Why it is worth a survey now in Hampstead Garden Suburb
Damage left open lets in more rain. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. In Hampstead Garden Suburb, as in much of London, water from a roof defect can reach a neighbour’s home as easily as yours: a blocked parapet gutter or slipped slate can let water into the flat below or the house next door. Finding it early keeps the work smaller.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

How it works
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there. In Hampstead Garden Suburb, 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.

- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
