How a storm damage roof report works in Hampton Wick
After a storm, safety comes 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. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. We survey chimney stacks, slate and tile slopes and flashings, and common reasons people get in touch are gutters pulled loose in the wind and slates and tiles blown off the roof.
In converted houses and blocks across London, water from a roof can run a long way before it shows on a ceiling. Tracing it back matters, both for dealing with the cause and for any insurance claim. We check what we are given access to in Hampton Wick, inside and out. Tell us when the water shows, and in what kind of weather.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Storm damage roof reports in Hampton Wick: local notes
Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed. Historic houses such as Hampton Court Palace, about 1.4 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Hampton Wick goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
If you live in an older home near All Saints Church, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. For businesses in and around places such as Bentall Centre, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Hampton Wick
Roofs that were already worn are more likely to suffer in a storm. Corroded nails on slate roofs, worn mortar on ridges and old flashings can all give way. We record recent damage alongside older defects.
Common reasons to book include:
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- New damp or leaks inside
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
Take a building like St John the Baptist Church of England Junior School: a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
What we do, step by step
It’s useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take an hour or two 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 Wick 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 start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property

Common questions in Hampton Wick
Do you cover Hampton Wick?
Yes, Hampton Wick is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hampton Wick?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
What if the roof was already worn?
Wear and tear is not normally covered. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
Do you use drones?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when you book.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we will explain what’s needed.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. If it’s safe, take photos before it goes on. Our report then records the roof.
How the survey changes by roof type
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles without fixings can move more easily in wind. We record what we can see of the fixings.
Flat roof coverings
Branches and debris can damage flat roofs or block outlets. Any damage is recorded with photos.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Hampton Wick
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Tell us about it as you book and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.
Why it is worth a survey now in Hampton Wick
The sooner the damage is recorded, the clearer the evidence. Further storms and quick fixes can make the picture less clear. Blocked gutters and hoppers on London houses overflow and soak brickwork, which can lead to damp inside. A blocked outlet ignored for a winter or two can mean damp walls inside.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
