Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Leaves Green
High winds usually affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. We survey ridges and hips, gutters and fascias and chimney stacks, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where slates or tiles have gone and damaged ridges and hips.
In London, leaks often start somewhere hidden: 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 Leaves Green, those hidden details are where the inspection begins. A hidden gutter that overflows can send water a long way before it shows.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Wind, rain and roofs in Leaves Green
About 1.1 miles east lies Down House, a reminder of how long the area around Leaves Green has been built on. 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. Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, frequently with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
Controlled parking zones are common in London, so mention any permit rules for Leaves Green. Homes near green spaces like South Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

FAQs for Leaves Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Leaves Green?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Leaves Green?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Leaves Green is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
How long will you be at the property?
Time on site depends on the roof; most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
That is not something we can promise. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Raise it with your insurer first. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that doesn’t resolve it. The Ombudsman looks at whether there were storm conditions, whether the damage fits a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.

What affects the price in Leaves Green
We confirm the exact price before you book. These are the things that affect it:

There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Getting in touch
There is no need for technical words. Just let us know:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Where the property is, with the postcode
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
The survey, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes an hour or two at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In Leaves Green, visits are available on weekdays and at weekends. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a nearby bay, and to clear a path to the loft hatch. A back bedroom window can be the best vantage point for a rear addition, so we may ask to use one.
- You let us know 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.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Preparing for the visit
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
