For landlords and managing agents
With a portfolio of properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the addresses.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
How a storm damage roof report works in Mile End
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: were there storm conditions on or around the date, is the damage consistent with a storm, and was the storm the main cause. Our report focuses on the second and third points. You or your insurer can check the weather for the date. Typical surveys look at new damp or leaks inside and ridge tiles that have come loose, across flat roofs, slate and tile slopes and ridges and hips.
In London, leaks frequently start somewhere hidden: the valley gutter in a butterfly roof, a parapet gutter, a chimney flashing or the flat roof over a rear extension. Whether you’re tracing a leak or recording storm damage in Mile End, those are among the first places to look. A hidden gutter that overflows can send water a long way before it shows.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photo. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Roof by roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles can lift, crack or blow off in high winds. We record which are damaged and where.
Lead flashings
When flashings lift, water can get behind them. We note where this has happened and any damp inside.
What a storm damage roof report doesn’t cover
We only report whatever is safely visible on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Acting for you with the insurer
- A price for the repairs
- Areas we cannot see safely
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll tell you before you book. What a survey covers and does not.

What else we do in Mile End
What we’re asked to look at in Mile End
Landlords and building managers often need a written record after a storm. The report can be shared with owners, tenants or insurers.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
Anyone responsible for a site like Beatrice Tate School will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

Leaks and storm damage in Mile End
Historic houses such as Sutton House, about 1.8 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Mile End goes. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as 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. Inner London’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces frequently have 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. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
Homes near green spaces such as Mile End Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. Landlords with a home close to Limehouse station may find that tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
Mile End is about 2 miles east of Whitechapel, in Greater London. Whether the building in Mile End is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, we can survey the roof on a weekday or at the weekend. Our Greater London coverage includes Mile End.

Mile End questions
Is Mile End in the area you cover?
Yes, Mile End is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is parking a problem for a survey in Mile End?
It rarely stops a survey, but it is worth planning. Tell us what parking is available nearby, and the visit is planned around it.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is typically excluded from home insurance. We note both storm damage and older defects, so you know what the roof shows. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. We record the damage, with photos and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Mile End?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do you look in the loft space?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
Why it is worth a survey now in Mile End
With an independent report, you have something specific to show your insurer. It records the damage and what seems to have caused it, alongside any photos you took yourself. Blocked gutters and hoppers on London houses overflow and soak brickwork. A blocked outlet ignored for a winter or two can mean damp walls inside.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
What you get with us
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- A written report with photographs
- 5,000+ surveys completed
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance

How it works
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes an hour or two for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Many London properties are flats or terraces with no side access, so rear slopes are viewed from windows, the loft or, where a flight is allowed, by drone. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents as you book.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Preparing for the visit
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Let us know about parking near the property
