Mill Hill: your questions answered
Is my home in Mill Hill listed or in a conservation area?
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.
Is Mill Hill in the area you cover?
Yes, Mill Hill is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We’re not loss adjusters, and we do not negotiate claims. We provide an independent record of the roof for you to send to your insurer.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
How do I book a survey in Mill Hill?
Simply call 07833 053749 or send us an email. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we will explain what’s needed.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Mill Hill
High winds typically affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. We survey flashings, gutters and fascias and ridges and hips, and people most often book us about water coming in after the storm and ridge tiles that have come loose.
In a London flat, water can travel some way before it shows. Tracing it back matters, both for dealing with the cause and for any insurance claim. In Mill Hill, we inspect what we can reach safely and are given access to. It helps to know when the water appears and in what weather.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Why get it checked now?
With an independent report, you have something specific to show your insurer. It sets out what we found and the likely cause, so you’re not relying only on your own photos. In Mill Hill, as in much of London, water from a roof defect can reach a neighbour’s home as easily as yours: a blocked parapet gutter or slipped slate can let water into the flat below or the house next door. Dealing with it early is far less disruptive.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT.
What you get with us
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Prices that include VAT
- An independent view of the roof
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed
Can I check my roof myself?
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Tips from our surveys
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
You’ll need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
Check the roof from the ground after strong winds. With binoculars, you can often spot problems without climbing. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
How the survey works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Many London properties are flats or terraces with no side access, so the back of the roof is often seen from upstairs windows, from inside or, where a flight is allowed, from the air. 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.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
Book a survey
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.

Wind, rain and roofs in Mill Hill
In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. If your home in Mill Hill 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. Heath Hall, about 4 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Mill Hill. 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.
Homes near green spaces such as Bittacy Hill Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn. Take an older house close to St Paul's Church: water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. If you run a business near Broadwalk Centre, water through a ceiling can damage stock and close a sales floor, so the source needs finding fast.
