Newbury Park roofs and the weather
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 Newbury Park has a long history of building, with Valentines Mansion about 0.9 miles west. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
If you let a flat or house near Seven Kings station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. If you run a hotel or guest house in or near Newbury Park, a roof problem can mean rooms out of use.

Storm damage roof report in Newbury Park: what you get
Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies by policy. Your policy document sets out its own definition. We do not decide whether a storm met that test. Our part is recording the damage to your roof and its likely cause. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. The claim decision rests with your insurer. If you’re worried about torn or lifted flat roof coverings and ridge tiles that have come loose, we can find out what’s behind it.
London’s Victorian and Edwardian roofs have often been repaired many times. Insurers typically exclude wear and tear, so it helps to know whether damage is old or new. That is as true in Newbury Park as anywhere in London. A written record with photos helps you explain what was found to whoever deals with it next.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to.

Newbury Park questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Newbury Park?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is Newbury Park in the area you cover?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Newbury Park is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
How do I book a survey in Newbury Park?
It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Give us the address and a few details about the roof. Surveys run seven days a week.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Insurers usually exclude wear and tear. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. Your insurer decides the claim.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We inspect what can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
For landlords and managing agents
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Newbury Park. To discuss a property or a block, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.

What happens if roof problems are left?
If a roofer needs to make the roof safe, take photos first if you can do so safely from the ground. That keeps a record of how it looked. Many older London roofs have only old felt under the slates, or no underlay at all, so a slipped slate can soon mean water inside. Left alone, that means wet timbers and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the roof fault itself.
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before you book.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Newbury Park
Landlords and building managers often need a written record after a storm. It helps when explaining damage to a building owner or insurer.
Common reasons to book include:
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Damaged gutters and fascias
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Newbury Park Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
Before booking anyone
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- What the survey won’t cover
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
How we price storm damage roof reports
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- House, block, shop or office
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.
Booking your survey
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- When you need the report by
- Anything about access we should know
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email to find out.
What we do, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. London terraces rarely offer a view of the whole roof from one spot, so in Newbury Park we work round the house, using the street, the windows, the loft and any safe vantage point behind it. Shared stairs or a basement flat? Tell us who holds the keys.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the roof space where it’s safe.
- The damage is recorded with photos, area by area.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
Getting a price
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
Advice
What we look for on each type of roof
Slate roofs
Slates can slip or blow off in a storm, particularly where the nails have corroded. We record which slates have moved and any signs of older nail fatigue.
Clay and concrete tiles
A missing tile lets rain reach the underlay. We photograph each gap.
