About our storm damage roof report in New Addington
Wear and tear is typically excluded from home insurance. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. Our report records both: recent damage alongside any older defects, like nail fatigue on slates or eroded pointing. We give an honest view of what we see. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. We are often asked to look into slates and tiles blown off the roof and damage from fallen branches or debris, on slate and tile slopes, gutters and fascias 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 New Addington, those are among the first places to look. A hidden gutter that overflows can send water a long way before it shows.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Why it is worth a survey now in New Addington
Once the storm has passed, damage that looked minor can let water in for months. Getting it recorded and repaired sooner is normally better. In New Addington, as across London, an overflowing gutter soaks the wall below, which can lead to damp inside. A small blockage left for a few winters becomes a damp problem.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in New Addington?
Flat roofs can be damaged too. Coverings can tear or peel back at the edges, and water can pond where outlets are blocked. Our report covers flat and pitched roofs.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Stains appearing after strong winds
Trees in and around Addington Vale shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
Before booking anyone
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- What the survey won’t cover
How it works
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Surveys in New Addington can be booked for any day of the week. London parking is often by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you. A back bedroom window can be the best vantage point for a rear addition, so we may ask to use one.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work

Advice
Before and after the survey
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
You will need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
Can I check my roof myself?
It is useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
Leaks and storm damage in New Addington
The wider area around New Addington has a long history of building, with Addington Palace about 1.5 miles north-west. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Further from the centre, London’s housing takes in interwar semis with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles as well as slate-roofed terraces. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near St Edward King and Confessor, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. For a London address like New Addington, it helps to know about controlled parking before the day.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in New Addington
Do you carry out roof surveys in New Addington?
Yes, New Addington is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in New Addington?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available as you book.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Insurers usually exclude wear and tear. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
Do you look in the loft space?
Usually, if there is one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
That is not something we can promise. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
