Middle Park Storm Damage Roof Report
An independent record of roof damage after a storm in Middle Park, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photographs.
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Middle Park
Strong winds lift loose or poorly fixed slates and tiles, ridge pieces and flashings. Rain can then blow in where slates or tiles have gone. People typically call us after a storm, once they’ve noticed damage or a leak.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- New damp or leaks inside
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Saviour, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
What to check before booking
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- What insurance they carry
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- What experience they bring
About our storm damage roof report in Middle Park
Our storm damage report starts from £150. It is a report with photos, sent by email. It is not a repair quote and doesn’t include repair costs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for that. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. We’re often asked to look into damage from fallen branches or debris and slates and tiles blown off the roof, on ridges and hips, chimney stacks and gutters and fascias.
Water getting into a London home frequently comes from a detail you can’t see from the street: a butterfly roof’s central valley gutter, a parapet gutter, a chimney flashing or a flat roof over a back addition. Whether you’re tracing a leak or recording storm damage in Middle Park, those are among the first places to look. A hidden gutter that overflows can send water a long way before it shows.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

How the survey works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. In Middle Park, visits are available on weekdays and at weekends. London parking is often by permit or pay-and-display, so it’s useful to know what’s near you, and to clear a path to the loft hatch. A back bedroom window can be the best vantage point for a rear addition, so we may ask to use one.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Preparing for the visit
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Surveys for landlords and agents in Middle Park
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photographs.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out with the most urgent first where relevant, which helps when budgeting.
What you can safely check yourself
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roof coverings
Wind can lift the edges of flat roof coverings or tear them. Damage is photographed and described.
Chimney stacks
Stacks with existing defects tend to suffer more in storms. We record both the storm damage and the older wear.

Storm damage roof reports in Middle Park: local notes
Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed. Historic houses like Eltham Palace, about 0.4 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Middle Park goes. 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.
Anyone responsible for a site like Middle Park Primary School will know that tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. Homes near green spaces such as Horn Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
Middle Park is about 1 mile west of Eltham, in Greater London. Bookings from Middle Park are handled just like any other: a call or an email, a price, then a date. Middle Park is one of the towns and villages in Greater London we cover. Our London page covers surveys nearby.

Middle Park: your questions answered
Do you cover Middle Park?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Middle Park is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property.
How do I find out if my home in Middle Park is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
