Storm damage roof report in Hendon: what you get
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. It sets out what is damaged, with photos, and what we think the likely cause is. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We are not loss adjusters and cannot say whether a claim will be paid. We are frequently asked to look into slipped or missing slates or tiles and loose or torn flashings, across ridges and hips, flat roofs and slate and tile slopes.
Many London homes are well over a century old and their roofs have been patched more than once, so a new leak can be the latest sign of wear rather than a single event. Telling wear from a one-off event matters, because insurers usually exclude wear and tear. That’s as true in Hendon as anywhere in London. Photos and a written account give you something specific to show an insurer, a landlord or a roofer.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Once the storm has passed, damage that looked minor can let water in for months. Acting quickly normally means less damage overall. In a London terrace or conversion, a roof defect rarely stays your problem alone: a blocked parapet gutter or slipped slate can let water into the flat below or the house next door. Finding it early keeps the work smaller.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

What a survey costs
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- The size of the roof
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Booking your survey
A little information up front helps. It’s useful to include:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Hendon?
Others book after an insurer has queried a claim. You get an independent record of what the roof shows. We can’t say whether the decision will change.
Look out for signs like these:
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Loose or torn flashings
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
Take a building like Hendon School: a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.

FAQs for Hendon
Is Hendon 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 Hendon?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. We record the damage, with photographs and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when booking.

Wind, rain and roofs in Hendon
With Heath Hall about 2.3 miles east, Hendon sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. 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 Hendon is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
For businesses in and around places such as Brent Cross Shopping Centre, water through a ceiling can damage stock and close a sales floor, so the source needs finding fast. If you own a rental within reach of Hendon station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

Tips that help
Getting the most from a storm damage roof report starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
If you are unhappy with how your insurer handles the claim, you can complain to them first. If that doesn’t resolve it, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
What else we do in Hendon
What happens on the day
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Many London properties are flats or terraces with no side access, so rear slopes are viewed from windows, the loft or, where a flight is allowed, by drone. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when booking.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
How to prepare
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Let us know about parking near the property
