Storm damage roof report in Hampton Hill: what you get
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Take photos from ground level or from windows, and do not climb onto the roof. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. We survey slate and tile slopes, flat roofs and gutters and fascias, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are loose or broken chimney pots and cowls and gutters pulled loose in the wind.
Water getting into a London home often comes from a detail you can’t 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. Whether you are tracing a leak or recording storm damage in Hampton Hill, those are among the first places to look. Water from a hidden gutter can run along joists and show up a room or two away.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out in order of urgency where relevant, which helps when budgeting.
Hampton Hill roofs and the weather
Outer London has lots of Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, frequently with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. Strawberry Hill House, about 1.2 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Hampton Hill. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Take an older house close to Hampton Hill United Reformed Church: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. Anyone responsible for a site like Hampton Hill Junior School will know that tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. Trees in and around Carlisle Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

How the survey changes by roof type
Lead flashings
Lifted flashings let rain run behind them into the roof. The report records the flashing and any damp inside.
Flat roof coverings
Edge trims and laps are often where flat roof coverings start to peel back. The report notes signs of recent damage and older wear.
How it works
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. All in, the survey usually takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. London terraces rarely offer a view of the whole roof from one spot, so in Hampton Hill 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.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We look at the roof from wherever it is safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
Arrange a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Useful tips for Hampton Hill property owners
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. Our suggestions:
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
After the visit, we write up the report with photographs of each area of damage. It covers the damage, its likely cause and any older defects. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.

What you can safely check yourself
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.
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. Don’t go up yourself.
Hampton Hill: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in Hampton Hill?
Yes, Hampton Hill is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property.
How do I find out if my home in Hampton Hill is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
There is no single figure. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Your policy document will say.
How long is the visit?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof, but most surveys take an hour or two at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. The report is sent afterwards by email.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Why act early in Hampton Hill
A clear, independent record helps you explain the damage to your insurer. It sets out what we found and the likely cause, so you are not relying only on your own photos. Work on a London roof is rarely simple to arrange, with parking, neighbours and access all to think about. That is a good reason to find problems early, while there is time to plan.
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both inc. VAT. You will know the exact price before booking.
