Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Hounslow
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. So it matters whether the damage came from the storm or from a roof that was already worn. We note signs of each: recent damage alongside any older defects, like nail fatigue on slates or eroded pointing. We give an honest view of what we see. Your insurer then decides how its policy applies. We survey gutters and fascias, flat roofs and ridges and hips, and people most frequently book us about lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and damaged pots on the stack.
In London, leaks frequently start somewhere hidden: a butterfly roof’s central valley gutter, a parapet gutter, a chimney flashing or a flat roof over a back addition. Whether you’re tracing a leak or recording storm damage in Hounslow, those are among the first places to look. A hidden gutter that overflows can send water a long way before it shows.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What happens on the day
The visit has one job: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit typically takes between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a London area like Hounslow, the main things to sort out are parking and access: let us know about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor the property is on and how to get into the loft. We then look at whatever is safely visible from ground level, windows, the loft and, where it’s safe, the roof itself.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s 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.
- The findings are written up with photos for you to share with your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
Book a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Advice
Common questions in Hounslow
How do I find out if my home in Hounslow is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Hounslow?
Sometimes, yes. If Hounslow has controlled parking where you are, a visitor permit is the easiest answer, and a driveway is even better.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. The report doesn’t include repair costs.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
Only your insurer can decide that. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. If it’s safe, take photos before it goes on. Our report then records the roof.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Before temporary repairs, photograph the damage from the ground if it’s safe. Those photos show the damage as it was. Work on a London roof is rarely simple to arrange, with parking, neighbours and access all to think about. That’s a good reason to find problems early, while there is time to plan.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

How the survey changes by roof type
Slate roofs
Broken slates and slates that have slid out of place are common after a storm. We photograph and describe each one.
Ridge and hip tiles
Worn mortar under ridge tiles can let them lift in a storm. Our report says whether it looks freshly damaged or worn over time.
Storm damage roof reports in Hounslow: local notes
Osterley House, about 1.6 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Hounslow. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. If your home in Hounslow 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 is detailed.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Chatsworth Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Mary the Virgin, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. Shop and office owners around Treaty Centre may find that a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters.

Tips that help
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. You will have your own independent record to refer to.
Store invoices and reports for any roof work. They help show the roof was in good order before a storm.
