Jennett's Park questions
My home in Jennett's Park has a flat-roofed garage or porch. Is it worth having that looked at?
It’s often worth it, as these roofs are easy to forget. On buildings from before 2000, cement sheet roofs may contain asbestos and should be checked by a specialist asbestos surveyor before anyone disturbs them.
Is Jennett's Park within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. Take photos from the ground first if it’s safe. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
How long will you be at the property?
Most surveys take an hour or two at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. The report follows by email.
Storm damage roof report in Jennett's Park
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: were there storm conditions on or around the date, is the damage consistent with a storm, and was the storm the main cause. We record what the roof shows about the damage and its likely cause. Weather records for the date are for you or your insurer to check. Typical surveys look at gaps where slates or tiles have gone and broken or displaced guttering, across flashings, flat roofs and ridges and hips.
In older homes around places like Jennett's Park, the underlay may be old bitumen felt, or there may be none at all. Without a sound underlay, any gap in the coverings lets water straight through. Finding where it gets in, and whether it’s old wear or new damage, decides what comes next. Wet battens and insulation in the loft are often the first clue.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Practical tips
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Don’t go onto the roof to take pictures
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
After the visit, we write up the report with photos of each area of damage. It sets out what is damaged, the likely cause and any signs of older wear. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.

How the survey changes by roof type
Slate roofs
Slates can slip or blow off in a storm, especially where the nails have corroded. Our report notes moved slates and any sign of older corrosion.
Chimney stacks
High winds can loosen pots, cowls and aerials on stacks. The report notes any damage to the stack.
Leaks and storm damage in Jennett's Park
Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near The Lexicon, a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Harmans Water Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

What we do, step by step
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit normally takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Jennett's Park is booked with the forecast in mind: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- You let us know when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the roof space where it’s safe.
- The damage is recorded with photos, area by area.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
