Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Kew
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: whether there were storm conditions around the date, whether the damage fits a storm, and whether the storm was the main cause. Our report focuses on the second and third points. You or your insurer can check the weather for the date. Typical surveys look at damaged ridges and hips and loose or broken chimney pots and cowls, across ridges and hips, flat roofs and flashings.
Water getting into a London home often 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 Kew, those hidden details are where the inspection begins. Water from a hidden gutter can run along joists and show up a room or two away.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs, emailed to you. On timing, it typically takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In converted houses and mansion blocks, the loft hatch is often on a shared landing. If that applies to your building, it helps to agree access with the neighbours or the managing agent first. Otherwise, the visit in Kew runs like any other.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the roof space where it is 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
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

Advice
What else we do in Kew
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Kew
About 0.7 miles west lies Kew Palace, a reminder of how long the area around Kew has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older 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.
Take an older house close to St Paul's Church: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Livat Hammersmith, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down. Trees in and around Kew Green shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Kew is about 2 miles south of Acton, in Greater London. We survey roofs in Kew and the rest of Greater London. Our area takes in places right across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. There’s also a page for London.
We cover every part of the W4, TW9 and TW8 postcode area for storm damage roof reports and the streets around it. If you need a storm damage roof report at a property on Kew Road, Maze Road and Kent Road or anywhere close by, we can survey it. With the A3000 close by, Kew is easy for us to reach for storm damage roof reports. If you are just outside Kew, we cover Strand-on-the-Green (1 mile north), Grove Park (1 mile east), North Sheen (1 mile south), Gunnersbury (1 mile north) and Turnham Green (1 mile east). Within a short drive, we also cover London (8 miles east), City of Westminster (6 miles east), Marylebone (6 miles north-east), Kensington (3 miles east), St Pancras (7 miles north-east) and Shoreditch (9 miles east).

Honest limits
It is a careful look at the roof, not the whole story. The main limits are:
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
- Areas we cannot see safely
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer

Why it’s worth a survey now in Kew
The sooner the damage is recorded, the clearer the evidence. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. Any roof job in Kew means planning around parking, neighbours and access. That’s a good reason to find problems early, while there’s time to plan, rather than in a rush after a leak.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
Why book with us
- PI and public liability insurance
- An independent view of the roof
- Surveys seven days a week
- Over 20 years’ experience
Take a look at how roof surveys are priced and what we found on two real jobs.
What we look for on each type of roof
Ridge and hip tiles
Water can get in where ridge tiles have moved. We photograph and describe the damage.
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles without fixings can move more easily in wind. We note what we can see of how tiles are fixed.
Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Kew
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Kew?
It depends on the street. Where there are permit zones, a visitor permit or nearby pay-and-display bay works well, and a driveway is even better.
Do you cover Kew?
Yes, Kew is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us the address and what you need to know. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Our reports start from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. The report does not include repair costs.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only if it’s safe. We look at everything that can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
How we price storm damage roof reports
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- How big the roof is
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- House, block, shop or office
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and which survey you book.
What to tell us when you get in touch
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
