Storm damage roof report in Mill Meads: what you get
What counts as a storm depends on your policy, though many use gusts of about 55 mph. Your policy document sets out its own definition. We do not decide whether a storm met that test. We record the damage and what seems to have caused it. The report includes photographs of each area of damage, and you decide what to send. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. If you’ve noticed flat roof edges peeled back and damaged gutters and fascias, we can find out what’s behind it, on flashings, chimney stacks and slate and tile slopes alike.
Water getting into a London home frequently comes from a detail you cannot 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. For a leak or storm damage in Mill Meads, those hidden details are where the inspection begins. Water from a hidden gutter can run along joists and show up a room or two away.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

Prices for storm damage roof reports in Mill Meads
Survey packages start from £150, inc. VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Building height and the viewpoints available
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Getting in touch
We’ll normally ask about:
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.

What else we do in Mill Meads
Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
- Photograph the damage safely from below
Questions about the findings are always welcome. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
Common questions in Mill Meads
Is my home in Mill Meads 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. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you cover Mill Meads?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Mill Meads is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property.
Do you look in the roof space?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
Each policy has its own definition. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but check your own wording.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Insurers normally exclude wear and tear. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Mill Meads
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Mill Meads. For a price for a let property or a block, call 07833 053749 or email us.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Once the storm has passed, damage that looked minor can let water in for months. Acting quickly usually means less damage overall. In Mill Meads, as across London, an overflowing gutter soaks the wall below, which can lead to damp inside. A blocked outlet ignored for a winter or two can mean damp walls inside.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
What you get with us

The survey, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In a London conversion, the way into the roof space is often from a communal landing or the top flat. Where that is the case, access needs agreeing with whoever controls that landing. Everything else is planned around the building, not the postcode.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We look at the roof from wherever it is safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Before the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

Mill Meads roofs and the weather
Welsh slate on Victorian and Edwardian terraces is a familiar sight across inner London. Many have butterfly roofs draining to a central valley gutter, with parapet walls and gutters hidden behind them. Lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are typical of these houses, if yours is one of them. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. With Sutton House about 2.4 miles north-west, Mill Meads sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as East London Science School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. For an older house near a landmark like St Mary's Church, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
