How the survey changes by roof type

About our storm damage roof report in Kensal Town
After a storm, it helps to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. Our report shows the damage in photos and says whether it looks like storm damage, wear and tear, or a mix. 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 gutters pulled loose in the wind and holes or cracks caused by debris, we can find out what’s behind it, on gutters and fascias, slate and tile slopes and ridges and hips alike.
In converted houses and blocks across London, water from a roof can run a long way before it shows on a ceiling. That makes the source hard to pin down, and finding it matters for whoever has to deal with it. In Kensal Town, we inspect what we can reach safely and are given access to. It helps to know when the water appears and in what weather.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

FAQs for Kensal Town
Is Kensal Town in the area you cover?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and Kensal Town is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Kensal Town?
It rarely stops a survey, but it’s worth planning. Let us know what parking is available nearby, and the visit is planned around it.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We aren’t loss adjusters and don’t act for you with the insurer. We give you an independent report of the damage for you to send to your insurer.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Safely, from the ground or a window. Do not use a ladder or go onto the roof. With binoculars, you can see a lot from the ground, and we will record the rest.
How long is the visit?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take an hour or two on an ordinary house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. The written report follows by email.
What if the roof was already worn?
Wear and tear is not normally covered. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. The claim decision is your insurer’s.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Kensal Town
With Kensington Palace about 1.6 miles south-east, Kensal Town sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Welsh slate on Victorian and Edwardian terraces is a familiar sight across inner London. Behind many of their parapets sit butterfly roofs and valley gutters that cannot be seen from the pavement. In a house like that, shared stacks, party-wall upstands and lead flashings all need looking at as far as they can be seen. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed.
For businesses in and around places like Westfield London, a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running. Trees in and around Emslie Horniman's Pleasance shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

What we do, step by step
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a report with photos. As for time on site, it normally takes an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In converted houses and mansion blocks, the loft hatch is often on a shared landing. Where that’s the case, access needs agreeing with whoever controls that landing. Otherwise, the visit in Kensal Town runs like any other.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the roof space where it’s safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- The findings are written up with photos for you to share with your insurer.
Before the survey
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
