Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Malden Rushett
After a storm, safety comes first. Take photos from ground level or from windows, and do not climb onto the roof. Emergency temporary protection, such as covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. We are often asked to look into broken or displaced guttering and torn or lifted flat roof coverings, on ridges and hips, slate and tile slopes and flat roofs.
Many London homes are well over a century old and their roofs have been patched more than once, so a new leak can be the latest sign of wear rather than a single event. Insurers typically exclude wear and tear, so it helps to know whether damage is old or new. That’s as true in Malden Rushett as anywhere in London. A written record with photos helps you explain what was found to whoever deals with it next.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photo. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Malden Rushett roofs and the weather
Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. If your home in Malden Rushett is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. With Fitznells Manor about 3.1 miles east, Malden Rushett sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs frequently 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.
If you live near a park such as Claygate Common, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. For a London address like Malden Rushett, it is useful to know about controlled parking before the day.

Why get it checked now?
Knowing whether older wear played a part helps you understand your position. We record storm damage and older defects, so there are no surprises later. Behind a London parapet, a blocked gutter can sit full of water without anyone seeing it. By the time a ceiling stains, the timbers underneath may have been wet for a while.

What this survey cannot tell you
It is a careful look at the roof, not the whole story. Its limits include:
- Acting for you with the insurer
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
- A decision on your insurance claim
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll recommend the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and does not.
Roof types and parts we check
- Flashings
- Ridges and hips
- Gutters and fascias
- Flat roofs
- Chimney stacks
- Slate and tile slopes
Different roofs, different checks
Slate roofs
Slates can slip or blow off in a storm, particularly where the nails have corroded. Our report notes moved slates and any sign of older corrosion.
Chimney stacks
High winds can loosen pots, cowls and aerials on stacks. The report notes any damage to the stack.
What happens on the day
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit usually takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. London terraces rarely offer a view of the whole roof from one spot, so in Malden Rushett we work round the house, using the street, the windows, the loft and any safe vantage point behind it. If other people live in the building, let us know who can let us into the shared parts.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there is access.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
