Storm damage roof report in Moor Park, Greater London
Get a clear view of the roof at a property in Moor Park. We visit on weekdays and at weekends.
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
How the survey works
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It typically takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In a London conversion, the way into the loft space is frequently from a communal landing or the top flat. Where that’s the case, access needs agreeing with whoever controls that landing. Everything else is planned around the building, not the postcode.
- 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 ground level, 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.
How to prepare
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
How to book

About our storm damage roof report in Moor Park
We inspect the roof from wherever it can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows and higher points, from the loft space and from the roof where it’s safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. We note any part we couldn’t see. You get a photo-illustrated written report to give to your insurer. If you’ve noticed damaged gutters and fascias and holes or cracks caused by debris, we can find out what’s behind it.
London’s Victorian and Edwardian roofs have often been repaired many times. Telling wear from a one-off event matters, because insurers normally exclude wear and tear. A careful look in Moor Park tells the two apart where the evidence allows. A written record with photos helps you explain what was found to whoever deals with it next.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Common roof problems in Moor Park
Landlords and building managers frequently need a written record after a storm. The report can be shared with owners, tenants or insurers.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
Living close to King George V Playing Fields is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
Before booking anyone
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
Wind, rain and roofs in Moor Park
Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, frequently 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. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. About 3.9 miles south-east lies Headstone Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Moor Park has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often 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.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Harlequin Centre, water through a ceiling can damage stock and close a sales floor, so the source needs finding fast. Take an older house close to Holy Trinity Church: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

Questions from Moor Park
Do you cover Moor Park?
Yes, Moor Park is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and the South East. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details.
Is my home in Moor Park listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
How long will you be at the property?
Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. The report follows by email.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Stay off the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roof coverings
On flat roofs, storms can lift edges and tear membranes. We record any damage and where it is.
Chimney stacks
Wind can pull the flashings away from a chimney. We photograph any we find.

Checking the roof from ground level
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
You can learn a lot 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.
Practical tips
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Don’t go onto the roof to take pictures
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. You’ll have your own independent record to refer to.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
