Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Lambeth
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. It’s a written report with photos, sent by email. It isn’t a repair quote and does not include repair costs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for that. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. Common reasons to book are damaged gutters and fascias and lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles, across flat roofs, gutters and fascias and flashings.
In converted houses and blocks across London, water from a roof can run a long way before it shows on a ceiling. Tracing it back matters, both for dealing with the cause and for any insurance claim. In Lambeth, we inspect what we can reach safely and are given access to. It’s useful to know when the water appears and in what weather.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- The size of the roof
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Height and safe access
For a price for your roof in Lambeth, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the roof. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.
Getting in touch

Questions from Lambeth
Do you cover Lambeth?
Yes, Lambeth is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Lambeth as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is parking a problem for a survey in Lambeth?
It depends on the street. If Lambeth has controlled parking where you are, a visitor permit is the easiest answer, and a driveway is even better.
What if the roof was already worn?
Insurers usually exclude wear and tear. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. Your insurer decides the claim.
How are storm damage reports priced?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. Repair costs are not part of the report.
How long does the survey take?
Time on site depends on the roof; most visits take roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. The written report follows by email.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. We can record the damage in our report.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We’re not loss adjusters, and we don’t negotiate claims. We give you an independent report of the damage, which you can pass to your insurer.
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Lambeth?
Others book after an insurer has queried a claim. An independent report gives you another view of the roof. What happens next is up to the insurer.
We are often asked to look at:
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Water coming in after the storm
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Vauxhall Primary School, a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- What exactly goes into their report
How the survey works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely, from ground level, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where applicable. Most surveys take about one to two hours for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. In Lambeth, visits are available on weekdays and at weekends. London parking is often by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps 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 often give the best view of a rear addition.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We view the roof from wherever it can safely be seen, including the loft where there is access.
- 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 the survey
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Storm damage roof reports in Lambeth: local notes
Welsh slate on Victorian and Edwardian terraces is a familiar sight across inner London. Many have butterfly roofs draining to a central valley gutter, with parapet walls and gutters hidden behind them. If your home in Lambeth is one of them, lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are part of the picture too. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. Historic houses such as Benjamin Franklin House, about 1.2 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Lambeth goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Gabriel's Wharf, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down. Trees in and around Old Paradise Gardens shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters.
Lambeth is about 1 mile south-west of London, in Greater London. We carry out storm damage roof reports in Lambeth for houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings, with a written report and photographs every time. Our Greater London coverage includes Lambeth.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Lambeth
With an independent report, you have something specific to show your insurer. It records the damage and what seems to have caused it, so you are not relying only on your own photos. Blocked gutters and hoppers on London houses overflow and soak brickwork, which can lead to damp inside. A small blockage left for a few winters becomes a damp problem.
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both including VAT. You will know the price for your survey before booking.

Different roofs, different checks
Slate roofs
After strong winds, we often see cracked and slipped slates. We photograph and describe each one.
Ridge and hip tiles
Ridge tiles bedded in old mortar can loosen in high winds. Our report says whether it looks freshly damaged or worn over time.
