What we do, step by step
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there is safe access. In total, it takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a London area like Heath Park, the main things to sort out are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor the property is on, any shared entrance and loft access. We then look at whatever is safely visible from ground level, windows, the loft and, where it is safe, the roof itself.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We check the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- 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
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Advice
How a storm damage roof report works in Heath Park
Our storm damage report starts from £150. It is a written report with photos, sent by email. It isn’t a repair quote and doesn’t include repair costs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. Common reasons to book are damaged ridges and hips and damaged flat roof membrane, on flat roofs, gutters and fascias and flashings.
In a London flat, water can travel some way before it shows. That makes the source hard to pin down, and finding it matters for whoever has to deal with it. We look at what we are given access to in Heath Park, inside and out. Tell us when the water shows, and in what kind of weather.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Can I check my roof myself?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.

When to book a survey in Heath Park
Falling trees and branches can damage roofs in high winds. We record the damage and where it is, with photographs.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
Living close to Haynes Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
What to check before booking
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- How soon the report will arrive
For landlords and managing agents
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Heath Park. To discuss a property or a block, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roof coverings
Edge trims and laps are frequently where flat roof coverings start to peel back. We check whether the damage is recent or older.
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles can lift, crack or blow off in high winds. We record which are damaged and where.
Heath Park questions
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Heath Park?
It rarely stops a survey, but it’s worth planning. Let us know what parking is available nearby, and the visit is planned around it.
Do you cover Heath Park?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Heath Park is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details.
How long will you be at the property?
Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. The report follows by email.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Complain to your insurer first. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. An independent report can add to your evidence, though we can’t predict the outcome.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we’ll recommend the right survey. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
That is 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 at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Heath Park
About 0.8 miles north-east lies Hare Hall, a reminder of how long the area around Heath Park has been built on. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, frequently with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
For an older house near a landmark such as Saint Alban Church of England, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near The Mercury Mall, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters.
