Storm Damage Roof Report in New Malden
An independent record of roof damage after a storm in New Malden, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photos.
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Loose or torn flashings
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
Storm damage roof report in New Malden
Our storm damage report starts from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It does not price the repairs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for that. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. Typical surveys look at damaged gutters and fascias and stains appearing after strong winds, on slate and tile slopes, flat roofs and chimney stacks.
In a London flat, water can travel some way before it shows, sometimes in a different flat from the one below the defect. Tracing it back matters, both for dealing with the cause and for any insurance claim. We look at what we are given access to in New Malden, inside and out. Let us know when the water shows, and in what kind of weather.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

When to book a survey in New Malden
Others book after an insurer has queried a claim. You get an independent record of what the roof shows. We cannot say whether the decision will change.
Problems we come across often include:
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Damaged flat roof membrane
Shop and office owners around Bentall Centre may find that finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down.

How the survey works
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos. As for time on site, most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Surveys in New Malden can be booked for any day of the week. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a nearby bay. A back bedroom window can be the best vantage point for a rear addition, so we may ask to use one.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- 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.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets in another room
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

Storm damage roof reports in New Malden: local notes
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. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. The wider area around New Malden has a long history of building, with Southside House about 1.6 miles north-east. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
Homes near green spaces like Beverley Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn. Take an older house close to New Malden Baptist Church: leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

Tips that help
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- File receipts for anything you pay for
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. You will have your own independent record to refer to.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. They can damage the roof in high winds.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time.
Common questions in New Malden
Can parking be tricky for a visit in New Malden?
It rarely stops a survey, but it is worth planning. Let us know what parking is available nearby, and the visit is planned around it.
Do you carry out roof surveys in New Malden?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and New Malden is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Only from the ground or from windows. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. With binoculars, you can see a lot from ground level and we’ll inspect the rest from safe positions.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Complain to your insurer first. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. An independent report can add to your evidence, but we can’t say how it will turn out.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Larger or more complex roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs aren’t included, so ask a roofer to quote.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in New Malden?
It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and a few details about the roof. We survey on any day of the week.
