Storm damage roof report in Hatton
After a storm, it’s useful to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We are not loss adjusters, and we cannot say whether a claim will be paid. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. Common reasons to book are damage from fallen branches or debris and new damp or leaks inside, on ridges and hips, flat roofs and flashings.
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 Hatton, 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.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

DIY checks: what’s safe
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.

Hatton: your questions answered
Is Hatton in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hatton?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
Only your insurer can decide that. We record the damage, with photographs and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It varies by policy. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but check your own wording.
Useful tips for Hatton property owners
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Take photos from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
Questions about the findings are always welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
Storm damage roof reports in Hatton: local notes
Historic houses such as Osterley House, about 3.4 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Hatton goes. 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. Further from the centre, London’s housing takes in interwar semis with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles as well as slate-roofed terraces. 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’s detailed.
Homes near green spaces like Hounslow Heath can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. Landlords with a home close to Heathrow Terminal 4 Rail station may find that finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

Common roof problems in Hatton
Landlords and building managers often need a written record after a storm. It helps when explaining damage to a building owner or insurer.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- New damp or leaks inside
Anyone responsible for a site like Cranford Primary School will know that a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside.
What to check before booking
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Are they insured for the work?
What we look for on each type of roof
Ridge and hip tiles
Water can get in where ridge tiles have moved. We photograph and describe the damage.
Lead flashings
Flashings can lift or pull away from walls and chimneys in strong winds. Loose or damaged flashings are photographed and noted.
How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. For a visit in Hatton, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us 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’s safe.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- 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.
Before the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
