Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Leytonstone
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. It’s yours to pass to your insurer. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We aren’t loss adjusters and can’t say whether a claim will be paid. We are often asked to look into lead lifted at abutments and slates and tiles blown off the roof, on slate and tile slopes, flashings and gutters and fascias.
In converted houses and blocks across London, water from a roof can run a long way before it shows on a ceiling, sometimes in a different flat from the one below the defect. Tracing it back matters, both for dealing with the cause and for any insurance claim. We look at what we are given access to in Leytonstone, inside and out. Tell us when the water shows, and in what kind of weather.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Leytonstone?
Insurers often want evidence of what has been damaged and why. A written report with photos gives you something clear to pass on. Your insurer still makes the decision.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
Trees in and around Leyton Jubilee Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- When you’ll get the report
What this survey can’t tell you
It is a careful look at the roof, not the whole story. Its limits include:
- Acting for you with the insurer
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will recommend the right survey. What our survey covers.

What happens if roof problems are left?
If the damage is partly wear and tear, it’s better to know. Our report gives an honest view of both, so you know what the roof shows. In Leytonstone, as in much of London, water from a roof defect can reach a neighbour’s home as easily as yours: a blocked parapet gutter or slipped slate can let water into the flat below or the house next door. Finding it early keeps the work smaller.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.

Leytonstone roofs and the weather
Outer London has a good many Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, frequently with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. If your home in Leytonstone is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed. Valentines Mansion, about 2.4 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Leytonstone. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
If you let a flat or house near Leytonstone High Road station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. For businesses in and around places such as 17 & Central, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters.

The survey, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. On timing, most surveys take between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Many London properties are flats or terraces with no side access, so the back of the roof is often seen from upstairs windows, from inside or, where a flight is allowed, from the air. If the building has a managing agent or access rules, let us know when you book.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We look at the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
How to prepare
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
Arrange a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form whenever suits you.
Related advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
How we price storm damage roof reports
We confirm the price for your roof before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Helping us price your survey
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, it helps to mention:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
We survey roofs on any day of the week. To find a date that works for you, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Common questions in Leytonstone
How do I find out if my home in Leytonstone is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Leytonstone in the area you cover?
Yes, Leytonstone is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and the South East. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
It depends on your policy. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Your policy document will say.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Larger or more complex roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs aren’t included, so ask a roofer to quote.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. Take photos from ground level first if it’s safe. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
How long will you be at the property?
Expect it to take about one to two hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. You’ll then get the report by email.
