How a storm damage roof report works in Marylebone
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there’s access, and the roof itself where that is safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. We note any part we couldn’t see. You get a report with photographs to give to your insurer. Common reasons to book are damaged ridges and hips and new damp or leaks inside, on chimney stacks, flashings and slate and tile slopes.
London’s Victorian and Edwardian roofs have frequently been repaired many times. Telling wear from a one-off event matters, because insurers usually exclude wear and tear. A careful look in Marylebone tells the two apart where the evidence allows. Photos and a written account give you something specific to show an insurer, a landlord or a roofer.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
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. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Marylebone
Others book after an insurer has queried a claim. You get an independent record of what the roof shows. We cannot say whether the decision will change.
We are often asked to look at:
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Damaged flat roof membrane
For an older house near a landmark such as Russian chapel on Welbeck Street, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Their track record with similar roofs
- What follow-up you get after the report
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Which limits apply to the survey
What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The roof’s overall size
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Getting in touch
A little information up front helps. It helps to include:
- Anything about access we should know
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Dates you are working to, like exchange
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or send us an email. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Marylebone questions
Is Marylebone in the area you cover?
Yes, Marylebone is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Marylebone?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when booking. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Does this replace a RICS home 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, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is not typically covered. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. Your insurer decides the claim.
How experienced are you?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only if it is safe. We look at everything that can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Marylebone
Historic houses such as Handel Hendrix House, about 0.3 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Marylebone goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Many homes in inner London are Victorian and Edwardian terraces, frequently with Welsh slate roofs. Behind many of their parapets sit butterfly roofs and valley gutters that can’t be seen from the pavement. In a house like that, shared stacks, party-wall upstands and lead flashings all need looking at as far as they can be seen. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
If you live near a park like St Anne's Churchyard, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Vincent's Catholic Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

What else we do in Marylebone
How it works
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey usually takes between one and two hours for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. London terraces rarely offer a view of the whole roof from one spot, so a visit in Marylebone 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 you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We view the roof from wherever it can safely be seen, including the loft where there’s access.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- The findings are written up with photos for you to share with your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
