How a storm damage roof report works in Leyton Grange
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. It sets out what is damaged, with photographs, and what we think the likely cause is. It’s yours to pass to your insurer. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We’re not loss adjusters, and we can’t tell you whether a claim will succeed. Common reasons to book are gaps where slates or tiles have gone and damage from fallen branches or debris, on slate and tile slopes, flat roofs and ridges and hips.
London’s Victorian and Edwardian roofs have frequently been repaired many times, so a new leak can be the latest sign of wear rather than a single event. Insurers normally exclude wear and tear, so it helps to know whether damage is old or new. A careful look in Leyton Grange tells the two apart where the evidence allows. A written record with photographs helps you explain what was found to whoever deals with it next.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

How the survey changes by roof type
Chimney stacks
Stacks with existing defects tend to suffer more in storms. We record both the storm damage and the older wear.
Lead flashings
Old flashings that were already loose can give way in a storm. We record what looks recent and what looks older.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Leyton Grange
With a portfolio of properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To arrange surveys for several addresses, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out with the most urgent first where relevant.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A clear, independent record helps you explain the damage to your insurer. It sets out what we found and the likely cause, alongside any photos you took yourself. London’s older roofs frequently have bitumen felt underlay or none at all, so a slipped slate can soon mean water inside. Left unchecked, water soaks into timber and plaster and the damage spreads.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

Common questions in Leyton Grange
Do you cover Leyton Grange?
Yes, Leyton Grange is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Leyton Grange as anywhere else.
Is my home in Leyton Grange listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. We will talk about access when booking.
How long is the visit?
Time on site depends on the roof; most visits take an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The report is sent afterwards by email.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Leyton Grange?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Do you look in the roof space?
Usually, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Practical tips
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
If anything in the report isn’t clear, just ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.
Leaks and storm damage in Leyton Grange
Inner London’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces often have Welsh slate roofs. From the street you may see only a parapet, with a butterfly roof and a valley gutter behind it draining to the back. Shared chimney stacks, party-wall upstands and lead work come with this kind of house. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. Historic houses like Sutton House, about 1.7 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Leyton Grange goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Take an older house close to Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. If you let a flat or house near Leyton Midland Road station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. Homes near green spaces like Leyton Jubilee Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn.
