Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Kenton
Our storm damage report starts from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It does not price the repairs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. We’re often asked to look into slates and tiles blown off the roof and damaged flat roof membrane, across ridges and hips, flashings and chimney stacks.
Water getting into a London home frequently comes from a detail you can’t see from the street: 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 Kenton, those are among the first places to look. Water from a hidden gutter can run along joists and show up a room or two away.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

The survey, step by step
We’ll ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. Surveys in Kenton can be booked for any day of the week. London parking is frequently by permit or pay-and-display, so it is useful to know what’s near you, and to clear a path to the loft hatch. Upstairs rooms at the back are useful too, as they frequently give the best view of a rear addition.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- 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.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

Questions from Kenton
Do you cover Kenton?
Yes, Kenton is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Kenton?
It can be, so it helps to let us know about permits, visitor bays or off-street space as you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Will you check the loft?
Normally, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Insurers normally exclude wear and tear. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. Take photos from ground level first if it’s safe. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
How long is the visit?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. The written report follows by email.
How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roof coverings
Lifted trims and laps are common after a storm. The report notes signs of recent damage and older wear.
Lead flashings
Lifted flashings let rain run behind them into the roof. The report records the flashing and any damp inside.
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Kenton?
Branches and trees often come down on roofs during storms. We record the damage and where it is, with photographs.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- New damp or leaks inside
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Broken or displaced guttering
If you own a rental within reach of Kenton station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

Wind, rain and roofs in Kenton
With Headstone Manor about 2.2 miles west, Kenton sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
Anyone responsible for a site like St Gregory's Catholic Science College will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

Honest limits
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Acting for you with the insurer
- A price for the repairs
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey before booking. What our survey covers.
What this survey covers
- Slate and tile slopes
- Chimney stacks
- Gutters and fascias
- Flat roofs
- Flashings
- Ridges and hips
Why get it checked now?
It is useful to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. In Kenton, as across London, an overflowing gutter soaks the wall below, which can lead to damp inside. A blocked outlet ignored for a winter or two can mean damp walls inside.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both with VAT included. You will know the price for your survey before booking.

Tips that help
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. With binoculars, you can often spot problems without climbing. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
