What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
We confirm the price for the job before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The size of the roof
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- What made you get in touch
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know the cost up front. Prices start from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
How a storm damage roof report works in Leamouth
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. Our report focuses on the second and third points. You or your insurer can check the weather for the date. We survey flat roofs, ridges and hips and flashings, and the problems we are asked to look at most are slipped or missing slates or tiles and damaged pots on the stack.
In a London flat, water can travel some way before it shows. Tracing it back matters, both for dealing with the cause and for any insurance claim. We check what we are given access to in Leamouth, inside and out. Tell us when the water shows, and in what kind of weather.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. It’s useful right away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

How it works
We’ll ask a few questions first, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. From the street, a London terrace usually shows only its front slope or parapet, so a visit in Leamouth moves between viewpoints: the pavement, upstairs windows, the loft and any safe spot at the back. Shared stairs or a basement flat? Let us know who holds the keys.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property

Advice
Common roof problems in Leamouth
Landlords and building managers frequently need a written record after a storm. It helps when explaining damage to a building owner or insurer.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Water coming in after the storm
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Stratford Centre, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Their insurance cover
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Which limits apply to the survey

Different roofs, different checks
Chimney stacks
Stacks with existing defects tend to suffer more in storms. We record both the storm damage and the older wear.
Flat roof coverings
On flat roofs, storms can lift edges and tear membranes. Damage is photographed and described.
When you need someone else
We only report what can safely be seen on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- Estimates of repair costs
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll recommend the right survey. The full list of what we check.
Roof types and parts we check
- Slate and tile slopes
- Gutters and fascias
- Flat roofs
- Chimney stacks
- Flashings
- Ridges and hips
DIY checks: what’s safe
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book and it will help the survey.
Wind, rain and roofs in Leamouth
The wider area around Leamouth has a long history of building, with Queen's House about 2.1 miles south. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. Inner London’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces often have Welsh slate roofs. Many have butterfly roofs draining to a central valley gutter, with parapet walls and gutters hidden behind them. Lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are typical of these houses, if yours is one of them. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Luke are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. Take a building like St Luke's Primary School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

FAQs for Leamouth
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Leamouth?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Leamouth?
It depends on the street. If Leamouth has controlled parking where you are, a visitor permit is the easiest answer, and a driveway is even better.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We’re not loss adjusters, and we do not negotiate claims. We provide an independent record of the roof for you to send to your insurer.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
What if the roof was already worn?
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. We note both storm damage and older defects, so you know what the roof shows. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. Take photos from the ground first if it’s safe. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
