Storm damage roof report in Lisson Grove: what you get
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. We note signs of each: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems such as corroded nails or worn mortar. We give an honest view of what we see. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. We survey slate and tile slopes, chimney stacks and flashings, and common reasons people get in touch are lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and new damp or leaks inside.
In converted houses and blocks across London, water from a roof can run a long way before it shows on a ceiling. That makes the source hard to pin down, and finding it matters for whoever has to deal with it. We check what we are given access to in Lisson Grove, inside and out. Let us know when the water shows, and in what kind of weather.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Why get it checked now?
The sooner the damage is recorded, the clearer the evidence. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. In Lisson Grove, as in much of London, water from a roof defect can reach a neighbour’s home as easily as yours: failed flashings and blocked valley gutters can send water into more than one home. Finding it early keeps the work smaller.

How the survey works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take between one and two hours for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. From the street, a London terrace usually shows only its front slope or parapet, so a visit in Lisson Grove moves between viewpoints: the pavement, upstairs windows, the loft and any safe spot at the back. If other people live in the building, tell us who can let us into the shared parts.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- 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.
Before the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
Book a survey
You can call us seven days a week. For a price or to book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Lisson Grove
Is my home in Lisson Grove listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Is parking a problem for a survey in Lisson Grove?
Parking in Lisson Grove, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
How long is the visit?
It normally takes about 1–2 hours for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. The report follows by email.
Do you cover Lisson Grove for storm damage roof reports?
Yes. We cover Lisson Grove and the rest of Greater London. To book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
It varies by policy. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but check your own wording.
What you can safely check yourself
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Lisson Grove roofs and the weather
Welsh slate on Victorian and Edwardian terraces is a familiar sight across inner London. 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. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. The wider area around Lisson Grove has a long history of building, with Winfield House about 0.4 miles north-east. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Landlords with a home close to London Marylebone station may find that tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. If you run a business near Kingly Court, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down. If you look after a building such as Gateway Academy, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
