Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Harrow Weald
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Take photos from the ground or from windows, and don’t 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 flashings, chimney stacks and ridges and hips, and people most often book us about stains appearing after strong winds and flashings pulled away from walls or stacks.
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 usually exclude wear and tear, so it is useful to know whether damage is old or new. That’s as true in Harrow Weald as anywhere in London. Photos and a written account give you something specific to show an insurer, a landlord or a roofer.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Common questions in Harrow Weald
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Harrow Weald?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Harrow Weald?
Normally it’s manageable with a little notice. Let us know the parking rules on your street and we will work around them.
How long does the survey take?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take about 1–2 hours for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We check everything that can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
That’s not something we can promise. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Tell us about it when booking and we will explain what’s needed.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. Repair costs aren’t included, so ask a roofer to quote.
What happens on the day
The visit has one job: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. It usually takes between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a London area like Harrow Weald, 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 the ground, 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 the ground, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before the survey
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

Harrow Weald roofs and the weather
Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. If your home in Harrow Weald is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. The wider area around Harrow Weald has a long history of building, with Headstone Manor about 0.9 miles south-west. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Shop and office owners around St. George's Shopping Centre may find that finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down. Take an older house close to St Michael & All Angels: the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. If you let a flat or house near Headstone Lane station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

Practical tips
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
If anything in the report is not clear, just ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
