Storm damage roof report in Heathrow, Surrey

Storm damage roof report in Heathrow: what you get
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. It’s a written report with photos, sent by email. It doesn’t price the repairs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. If you are worried about flashings pulled away from walls or stacks and damaged pots on the stack, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a village or hamlet like Heathrow, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
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.

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 about 1–2 hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Somewhere like Heathrow needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there is access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
How to prepare
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Find any records of previous roof work

What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Which survey package you book
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
Helping us price your survey
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. It is enough to let us know:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- The kind of building and roof involved
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To get started, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

A few slipped slates can soon lead to wet timbers. Acting quickly normally means less damage overall. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.

Storm damage roof reports in Heathrow: local notes
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. The wider area around Heathrow has a long history of building, with Osterley House about 4.6 miles east. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
If you let a flat or house near Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3 Rail station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. Shop and office owners around Treaty Centre may find that water through a ceiling can damage stock and close a sales floor, so the source needs finding fast. A roof leak in a hotel or guest house around Heathrow means lost rooms as well as repairs, so it is worth knowing the roof’s condition.
Heathrow is about 2 miles north-west of Feltham, in Surrey. In Heathrow, as across Surrey, every roof gets the same careful survey. Our Surrey coverage includes Heathrow and the places around it. London is in our area too.
Surveys in TW6 are booked the same way as anywhere else. If you’re just outside Heathrow, we cover West Bedfont (1 mile south-west), Hatton (1 mile east), Bedfont (1 mile south-east), Stanwell (1 mile south-west) and Harlington (1 mile north-east). We also work in nearby towns like Woking (12 miles south-west), Camberley (15 miles south-west), Epsom (12 miles south-east), Ewell (12 miles south-east), Egham (5 miles south-west) and Walton-on-Thames (6 miles south).
Local landmarks in Heathrow
We work in homes and buildings around The Queen's Arms and Space Studio West London, among other places. Heathrow has its own railway station: Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3 Rail station. Well-known places in the area include Spelthorne Museum (3.5 miles south-west) and Harlington (1.6 miles north). The countryside around Heathrow includes Staines Reservoirs and Crane Meadows.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
Practical tips
Getting the most from a storm damage roof report starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Don’t go onto the roof to take pictures
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. You will have your own independent record to refer to.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. They can damage the roof in high winds.
FAQs for Heathrow
How do I find out if my home in Heathrow is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Heathrow in the area you cover?
Yes, Heathrow is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Heathrow as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
Start by complaining to the insurer. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that does not resolve it. The Ombudsman asks about storm conditions, whether the damage is consistent with a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Insurers normally exclude wear and tear. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. Your insurer decides the claim.
How long does the survey take?
Time on site depends on the roof; most visits take an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The written report follows by email.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
