Hanger Hill Storm Damage Roof Report
An independent record of roof damage after a storm for Hanger Hill and the rest of Greater London. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Damaged gutters and fascias
How the survey works
It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a London area like Hanger Hill, 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. On the day, the roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space and from the roof where it is safe.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets in another room
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
Booking a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.

Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Hanger Hill
Our storm damage report starts from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It isn’t a repair quote and does not include repair costs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for that. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. If you’re worried about damaged gutters and fascias and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Water getting into a London home often comes from a detail you cannot see from the street: a butterfly roof’s central valley gutter, a parapet gutter, a chimney flashing or a flat roof over a back addition. For a leak or storm damage in Hanger Hill, those hidden details are where the inspection begins. Water from a hidden gutter can run along joists and show up a room or two away.
We write the report in plain English, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

Why get it checked now?
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 a London terrace or conversion, a roof defect rarely stays your problem alone: 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.
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Storm damage roof reports in Hanger Hill: local notes
Historic houses such as Pitzhanger Manor, about 1.2 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Hanger Hill goes. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
For landlords with property near Acton Main Line station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near London Designer Outlet, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down.

When to book a survey in Hanger Hill
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.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Water coming in after the storm
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
If you live near a park such as Ealing Common, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
Questions to ask before booking
- Will the report include photos?
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- What insurance they carry
- What’s outside the scope of the survey

Hanger Hill: your questions answered
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Hanger Hill?
It rarely stops a survey, but it is worth planning. Let us know what parking is available nearby, and the visit is planned around it.
Is Hanger Hill in the area you cover?
Yes, Hanger Hill is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Hanger Hill as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Safely, from the ground or a window. Do not use a ladder or go onto the roof. Binoculars can help you see damage from below, and we’ll record the rest.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
How long is the visit?
Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The report follows by email.
What you can safely check yourself
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
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.
What we look for on each type of roof
Lead flashings
Lifted flashings let rain run behind them into the roof. The report records the flashing and any damp inside.
Slate roofs
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, but the nails frequently fail first. We check whether slipped slates suggest storm damage, older wear or both.
