Common questions in North End
Do you carry out roof surveys in North End?
Yes, North End is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Is parking a problem for a survey in North End?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when booking. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We aren’t loss adjusters and do not act for you with the insurer. We provide an independent record of the roof for you to send to your insurer.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when booking.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it’s safe. We check everything that can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
How long will you be at the property?
It typically takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. You will then get the report by email, on the timescale of your package.
Storm damage roof report in North End: 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. Whether the weather met it is for your insurer. Our part is recording the damage to your roof and its likely cause. The report includes photos of each area of damage, and you decide what to send. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We are often asked to look into lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and flat roof edges peeled back, across flat roofs, slate and tile slopes and gutters and fascias.
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. In North End, we inspect what we can reach safely and are given access to. Let us know when the water shows, and in what kind of weather.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed

What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT.

North End roofs and the weather
Welsh slate on Victorian and Edwardian terraces is a familiar sight across inner London. Behind many of their parapets sit butterfly roofs and valley gutters that cannot be seen from the pavement. 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 Heath House about 0.3 miles south, North End sits in an area with a long building history. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For landlords with property near Hampstead Heath station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Alban the Martyr, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

What else we do in North End
What you can safely check yourself
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
How the survey works
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey normally takes between one and two hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming

Landlords, agents and block managers in North End
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer.
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in North End
Landlords and managing agents book reports to keep a record for owners and insurers. The report can be shared with owners, tenants or insurers.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Loose or torn flashings
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- New damp or leaks inside
If you live near a park such as Childs Hill Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Will the report include photos?
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- What happens after the report arrives
Honest limits
We only report whatever is safely visible on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- A price for the repairs
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will tell you. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
