Storm Damage Roof Report in Ickenham

The survey, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. Most visits take an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. 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. If the building has a managing agent or access rules, let us know when you book.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Before the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming

Storm damage roof report in Ickenham
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We aren’t loss adjusters, and we can’t say whether a claim will be paid. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. If you’ve noticed water coming in after the storm and flashings pulled away from walls or stacks, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Water getting into a London home frequently comes from a detail you cannot see from the street: the valley gutter in a butterfly roof, a parapet gutter, a chimney flashing or the flat roof over a rear extension. For a leak or storm damage in Ickenham, those hidden details are where the inspection begins. A hidden gutter that overflows can send water a long way before it shows.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Wind can lift the edges of flat roof coverings or tear them. We record any damage and where it is.
What affects the price in Ickenham

- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You’ll know the price for the job before booking.
Helping us price your survey

- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- What’s prompted the survey
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
We confirm the price for the job before you book, so you know the cost up front. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Wind, rain and roofs in Ickenham
The wider area around Ickenham has a long history of building, with Ickenham Hall about 0.4 miles north-east. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Further from the centre, London’s housing takes in interwar semis with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles as well as slate-roofed terraces. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Douay Martyrs Catholic School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. If you run a business near The Chimes, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters.

Ickenham questions
How do I find out if my home in Ickenham is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Ickenham?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Ickenham is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Ickenham?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
That’s not something we can promise. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
It depends on your policy. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Check your policy wording.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
When to book a survey in Ickenham
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.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Flat roof edges peeled back
If you live in an older home near St Giles' Church, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.
Before you book anyone
- Their report turnaround times
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Which limits apply to the survey
When you need someone else
In fairness, a roof survey has limits:
- Estimates of repair costs
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will recommend the right survey. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
