Storm damage roof report in Hayes, Greater London
Storm damage roof reports in Hayes and the rest of Greater London. Surveys run seven days a week.
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Roofs hit by falling trees
Can I check my roof myself?
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Hayes
Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies by policy. Your policy document sets out its own definition. Whether the weather met it is for your insurer. Our part is recording the damage to your roof and its likely cause. The report includes photos of each area of damage, and you decide what to send. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We survey ridges and hips, flat roofs and chimney stacks, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged ridges and hips and lead lifted at abutments.
In a London flat, water can travel some way before it shows, sometimes in a different flat from the one below the defect. That makes the source hard to pin down, and finding it matters for whoever has to deal with it. In Hayes, we inspect what we can reach safely and are given access to. It helps to know when the water appears and in what weather.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Common questions in Hayes
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Hayes?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway as you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hayes?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Insurers usually exclude wear and tear. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. Your insurer decides the claim.
Will you check the loft?
Normally, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know the address and what you want to find out. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Hayes
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
Landlords and letting agents in Hayes book surveys as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photographs, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
What happens on the day
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a report with photographs, sent to you by email. As for time on site, most surveys take about one to two hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. For a visit in Hayes, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor the property is on, any shared entrance and loft access. We then look at what can safely be seen from the ground, windows, the loft and, where it’s safe, the roof itself.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- 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
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
How to book
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To get started, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Advice
Hayes 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. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. About 2 miles north lies Bromley Palace, a reminder of how long the area around Hayes has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hawes Down Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. Take an older house close to St Mary the Virgin: lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. Living close to Coney Hall Recreation Ground is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

How we price storm damage roof reports
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Getting in touch
We will normally ask about:
- The address and postcode of the property
- What’s prompted the survey
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and give us a few details about the property and we will recommend the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Leave it or get it looked at?
A few slipped slates can soon lead to wet timbers. Getting it recorded and repaired sooner is typically better. Any roof job in Hayes means planning around parking, neighbours and access. That is a good reason to find problems early, while there’s time to plan, rather than in a rush after a leak.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Why book with us
- Photographs and a written report every time
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
